I had a blast, well done! maybe the combat could have more feedback, also i could not see any projectile from the bow.

How does your game fit the theme?
in the day its calm and you can gather matirials without anyone bothering you but in the night there is a massive storm and there are monsters that coming out to kill you.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
the assets i downloaded but the most of the code i did by myself.

Its good to see an entry of such a complex game genre. Keep up the good work!

Downpour SurvivalGreat, but the controls are hard to use, hand there is no sound...

Everything's fine !Pretty sweet survival game :). Even though, some more sfx wouldn't hurt and some counter movement could fix the slippery movement that the player has
Hope that you'll also play mine https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973690

Typhoon TheoryReally nice survival game. Animations could use some work and the text on workbench needs updating, as everything is labeled as 'get pickaxe' but otherwise nice game!

City goes boom (gamejam prototype)Great job doing a 3D game in so little time! I like that you can see the items you want to build in the world rather than a UI menu!

Storm ChaserYou've laid the foundations for a crafting survival game, which is quite a huge scope of a game to try to accomplish so good job on the attempt! There are definitely plenty of rough edges to work out, especially in the controls, UI and audio, hope to see ya keep working on it after the jam!

Hard Mode HarvestIt is hard worked very detailed game, it can be clearly seen, even smallest interactions have sound fx, well done, graphics are also good.
a suggestion: mouse sensitivity was too much for me, maybe it would be nice if we could change it from settings.
Here is my game if anyone wants to try

The Chasing StormI like survival / crafting games so I gave your game a try! Here's my thoughts!
Game Design feedback:
- I was wondering why pressing 'E' on the metal didn't do anything - it should write in the text that I need a pickaxe to mine it if the player tries to press 'E' on it instead of nothing happening. Otherwise it looks like a bug when nothing happens. Additionally, adding that visual feedback to indicate to the player what they need to do to mine the metal is also a good information tidbit that guides them to what to do next.
- I think the initial un-built versions of the crafting table/water table should be in transparent blue, not opaque blue. They should also not be collide-able, as they aren't really there. I didn't realise they were meant to be 'wireframe' versions of the thing to be built once you gathered the materials, so making them appear transparent would fit with traditional survival games that also use "ghost wireframes".
- On that note, I also think trying to interact with the ghost wireframes should say something like "You need to build this first to use it", because I kept trying to drink and spammed 'E' at the blue water table when my character was thirsty, to no avail. That would further accentuate the point that they are unbuilt.
- Some markers to tell me where the last small dynamite would've been appreciated, as the island is pretty big and without recognizable landmarks, it's hard to see where you've explored and where you have not, and it's not easy to find a really thin brown stick that's flat on the ground with no noticeable visual indication.
Graphical feedback:
- When selecting the bow, the text still says 'get pickaxe' instead of 'get bow'.
- You can see through the back of the character's head/arms, which is funny because you see his inner mouth and teeth model when you punch the trees haha. This doesn't cause any confusion so it's a very minor point that doesn't impact how I'd enjoy the game, just thought it was funny.
- Not a negative thing, but just a thought: I just wonder if health should regenerate over time so you don't have to live with permanent consequences of your decision to antagonize the monsters haha. But then again I don't know if there are consequences for death. If they are negligible then maybe it's fine, I didn't want to die to find out!
What I liked:
- The sky when it changes from day, to sunset, to let you know it's about to be nightfall
- Sense of progression: Upgrading to a pickaxe actually makes chopping trees faster.
- The character punches a tree to chop it. Go strong hands!!
- Story that makes me want to find out what's next
- Rain effects were cool and when I went into the tent to take shelter, I looked up and saw the rain changes to just tiny droplets of water seeping through the tent, I thought this was pretty nice attention to detail! Good job wow!
Overall good job on a very intriguing game! :D

Stormbridgethanks for the very but very long and deatiled feedback (dont worry i read it all and thanks for the investmented feedback) i will make the interaction with the objects more clear and i will check how to make ghost wireframes matirial instead of just blue. and thanks for letting me know about the small bug after buying the bow. and to your question your health resets when you drink and if you die you return to the island but just with your items i dont think i will do much about the dynamites if you didnt know there are 5 dynamites in the island and you need just 3 but i might do something about it.
No worries, just to be clear the material just needs to be made transparent. Nothing fancy required haha.
Also wanted to say good job on the game, I read your 'my first game jam' devlog where you wrote down the process of what you did each day. I think it's very cool what you did and also documenting your process like that. It was fun to read it and gave me some laughs (I see you enjoy fixing bugs eh? I should invite you to fix mine! :D). Regardless, detailing how you did the day night cycle, and using the animator event to change the skybox is very creative by the way! :)
Good idea and good implementation. I love island survival games. The topic was conveyed perfectly. It would be cooler to make the movement less floating. Cool!

Fire in the Darkcool concept. this character got hard fists, punching the trees and collecting lumber. the crafting and looking for materials was fun, especially in the rain. Great job!
