Snow Depth started (Patreon)
Content
I started on the girlfriend art, but after a few days of editing, moving body parts around and trying to draw snow outfits, I lost interest with it. I might go back later, but to avoid wasting time, I decided to code more instead.
The main thing I got working is snow depth. When it snows, the scenery will gather snow as you can see in the images below. I still have to draw the ground snow accumulation and on the player. Max depth should be almost at waist:
I drew the basic walk animation and you can collect items. There are 20 objects in the game so far, and each has something you can collect when harvest it. Then it takes days for it to regrow. I also coded that you can face objects, like trees, to collect from them. Eventually you will craft an axe and cut down objects, to expand your camp into a shelter.
The basic stats are working as seen in the top right corner. Energy decreases from actions like walking and harvesting. Fullness and Watered decrease from time and actions. Temperature decreases if you are inactive outside shelter and increases from any activity. If any of these stats reach 0, then Health decreases. If all are above 90% health increases. So the game is basically self-sustaining at this point.
Next, I am going to add visuals for what you are carrying from collection. Maybe, 5 max items or weight based? Then, you can store items at your camp. No chests. You just go to the camp and drop your stuff. In camp you can craft whatever you have resources for. The girlfriend will also tell you what to find and how to craft everything (as a tutorial) and each new crafted item will unlock sex-acts. Later, more advanced crafting breakthroughs like Smelting, Shelters, or Animal-Breeding... will unlock other women. (survivalists? natives? animal-people? magical-beings? No idea what logic I'll have for them being in the wilderness yet)
I will also soon draw a tent for your moveable starting base and girlfriend location and code the snowstorms to be random and a day-night cycle.
