It feels satisfying when you get a sustainable feedback loop going. I felt like the camera controls were a little janky. I had to adjust the camera whenever I moved along the z axis. I like that you went for 3d models, but the terrain could use a bit more work, maybe use something other than planes for the terrain.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"TwinTurboDouche","author_uid":"1162987","time":"2019-10-07T14:00:49Z","epoch":1570456849,"modified":1570456849,"text":"The animal and world textures don't seem to be loading","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"JoshuaRabbit","author_uid":"1161407","time":"2019-10-07T14:07:03Z","epoch":1570457223,"modified":1570457223,"text":"Enlarging the land that can be used is fun and sometimes the animals are hidden by the land.

The wolves are meant to provide you with a lot of energy when you kill them, so you can continue to make land. They also eat the sheep, which might be useful if there isn't enough grass.
