Thanks, the new content really looks great  But in my opinion, the bees killed the wolf/enemy/mob a bit too fast. Also the poison seems a bit highly effective. Nevertheless great work. I love it! |

The damage was just ramped up to show how it works, it would have been quite boring to record sitting around for 30 seconds while it got stung to death, the game it will be much slower. Thanks guys, we are thinking about starting a livestream from tomorrow, any ideas? |

Footage looks great, like the new dynamics you've added. Like the bridge building and also how you showed footage of the first game to compare the changes. Looking awesome, can't wait to see more and think the livestream is a good idea, would be interesting to see you implementing a feature from start to finish.

I read the comments about random generation vs. a handmade map in the youtube comments, would it be feasible to have the option to choose between the two for added replayability or would it be a waste of time/resources?

I think as it stands we will be scraping together time just to get a bare bones game together, adding stuff like multi-player and random generation etc is all nice and that, but if the core game sucks who will care? Right now I think we need to focus on the basics. |

I don't think you understand how game development works. |

I don't think you understand how game development works. not really, that's why I asked. I really like the chance to follow the development of an interesting game step by step, but it's not really my field. |

Basically you're asking if it's feasible to develop two games instead of one. |

Gabriel is right, its quite hard to do both, though I will be putting some thought into this over the next few days (since its been pretty heavily requested) to try and strike a balance between pre-built layouts and procedurally built stuff, no promises. Also, don't feel bad about not knowing how things work, I appreciate the suggestions |

well the next best thing would be some sort of editor/easy way to create/share maps.
I don't know if a mix of prebuilt and dynamic would make much more sense than going fully procedural once you create the basics for the generation.

It would be pretty easy if instead of procedurally generated you just added a touch of selective randomisation. For example if you just added a patch of flint in one of three possible locations then it would spice things up a bit since you would have to explore to find resources instead of memorising their locations from a previous playthrough. Apply that to many other resources and it would give a sense of procedural generation without going the whole hog.
