Toastie by LeeCode

[raw]
made by LeeCode for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

If Toastie doesn't stay toasted hes going to die! Keep him alive by warming up next to the fire. Chop down trees and collect the logs you need to find the trees with fireflys to chop but watch out for the Hungry Deer!

Use W, A, S, D and the mouse to control movement and lookaround.

Left click to chop trees or stun animal

Press E to pickup or drop axe or logs - Be warned you can only carry one item at once and you only have one trusty axe.

A game made by Squash, sam_hastings and Lee Webster!

Pretty looking game ! You should lower your chromatic aberation settings to make it look prettier. Also the back button moves the character forward. Cheers !

Cool idea. Cool graphics, but motion is too blurry. I wish you success!

Hey good job ! The game is really beautiful, I really like the flying particles, and the fire VFX !

I think its a bit too hard to survive, the deers are really violent so its quite difficult to cut trees...

Great game!
The controls are bit strange to me,
Graphics are awesome,
Well done to all of you !

Very good looking game. I think there should be a way to stop deer from chasing you, like getting them to run into a bear trap or something. That way the player can chop down trees. I think also if the camera was slightly angled higher so that it doesn't go into trees would help. Other than that it's a great game

great idea to add tutorial in to the intro, it save lot of time... it would be much better if the character just rotate by mouse movement, it was hard to rotate only by the arrows

I felt the control scheme was difficult to use and the postprocessing was a bit much, but a fun entry nonetheless!

@niels Thank you for your feedback! If you want different controls you can change that in options on the menu

Loved the colors! Really really loved them! You created such a TOASTY atmosphere :)

Lack of some visible cursor made it very hard to know what I'm aiming at and often I wasn't sure if I'm chopping a tree or hitting the deer.

I really enjoyed this! The music really creates the mood of watching a fire flicker, it has an almost hypnotic effect. The sound and graphics had me feeling tired and relaxed even while being chased around by hungry deer, which was kind of strange but very cool! Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to re-gain health, so I died pretty quickly. I can definitely imagine this becoming a cute, kinda trippy little survival game.

@lt-farfetchd Thank you for your feedback! You can gain health back by being near the fire.

the mood reminded me a bit of minecraft, what is very good :)
but i didnt understand the gameplay, i walk to an axe and press e and i picked up a piece of wood, whaaat?
and the trees have really strange hitboxes, nevertheless a thx for that game :)

@artist-hidihojoe there is a pile of wood near the axe, so if you are closer to the wood than the axe, you will pick up the wood. Thanks for your feedback though!

Great aesthetics! But, as other mentioned, controls are hard

@mulberg There is options, where you can changes how things work

@artist-hidihojoe That is actually a bug! To fix this you can go to the options and uncheck the box though

The dear are cute but why are they so so aggressive; liked the idea. The movement feels a bit weird. What a bizarre adventure

@alexandroskap Thank you for your feedback! The deer are aggressive because you are a tasty toasty marshmallow!

Music has stolen my heart ) As mentioned above controls are a bit difficult but the whole mood is awesome! The only thing - may be it's better to add to have at least 2 inventory slot to make a choice and not drop an axe every time which is a bit frustrating. Nice game!

## Its Beautiful Love the enviroment. The game looks well polished. I would like to know how you made the player move in a spherical planet, Very Cool Effect. Helps the game alot. Keep it up.

Nice game! Nice graphics (loved the fire effect) & music. Controls might be a bit inconvenient (for instance it's sometimes hard to grab objects). Also staying near the fire didn't seem to always give hp. But still quite fun to play! Good job :)

@lazzydev72 Hey, thanks man! It's actually a flat plane. But the magic is done in material. I used shader forge to do it but you can use shader graph as well. Its called curved world effect. Basically you calculate the distance between player and the models and push the vertices down if they are far away from the player. It has to be assigned to every material in scene though. Just search "unity curved world shader" on youtube.
