This is really neat! None of my cuts were mistakes, just happy little accidents :)
Oh wow, a very creative idea! The visuals and music is really good, so it's also relaxing to play it. Good job!
I liked the idea and really wanted to try it, but it appears my PC also has the log disappearing bug D:
I really like it and it is beautiful, but I couldn't get what to do :3
Well, there isn't any "goal" in the game. You just carve things out of a log with a chainsaw and that's pretty much it. You can either use the references and try to match them as close as possible or you can carve something out of your own imagination and that's pretty much it.
So yeah, there isn't anything like a mark or a grade after you carved a shape, there isn't really an ending condition at all. You just restart with a fresh log or close the game altogether when you feel like you got everything it has to offer.
On the other hand you might be experiencing a bug with a log completely disappearing right in the beginning - in that case I completely get your confusion, but I'm afraid we can't fix this technical issue at the moment.
Anyways thank you for playing and leaving a comment!
Holy shit I have absolutely no idea how you accomplished this technically but it's AWESOME, like I genuinely couldn't believe it was working, it felt like magic. Also super relaxing and fun, a great break from the other games in the jam. A+
In the beginning we almost went for another much-much less technical game idea because we just couldn't figure out how we will do all the cutting stuff. But in the end one of my teammates got struck by a genius idea of doing pretty much all the cutting math in 2D. And as result here it is.
Thank you for playing and glad to hear the atmosphere we put into it worked for you!
This is just great :D i love the sound and the concept!
Every Time I try to cut a form or just a piece of wood, the entire lumber disappears. Its broken on my pc.
Yeah, sadly some people report this issue with the game, but honestly speaking I have no idea what is it caused by. The code behind all the rendering and cutting stuff is so rushed that it's no wonder such problems occur. But thank you for leaving a comment about this. Maybe after the rating period ends I'll have an opportunity to fix this stuff.
Liked the toy feeling of the game. Would love to see a carving game with the right controls based on this tech demo.
Sadly my chainsaw wouldn't cut anything. Doesn't seem like other people are having the same problem though, so I won't rate it. Sorry, it looked really promising though!
Well, the code for all the raymarched rendering and volume cutting looks like it was written by monkeys dancing on a keyboard so no wonders this doesn't work for everyone. But thank you anyways for taking your time to try our game and leaving a comment.
Great job! Incredibly polished for a Jam entry. Art and sound are brilliant. My horsey might've ended up a bit more... impressionist than intended, but he's beautiful and I love him.
You should've posted a screenshot of your magnificent horsey! But thank you for playing anyways.
Nice work! The graphics on this game are superb and the chainsaw is really satisfying. Especially all those bits of wood flying off. Well done! :)
Bit hard to control, I guess out of control.. But really well done!
Nice idea, would love more control with the chainsaw, but I guess this wouldn't really work with the theme ^^... The carving algorithm is quite impressive for a jam game !
Thank you for playing! Yeah, we kinda ran out of time and couldn't fully tweak the chainsaw movement mechanics.
As for the carving algorithm thank god it works! The raymarching code looks like hell and I kinda don't even want to place it all in order for future use. I guess I'll be cursing myself for this decision some time in the future :D
This is really well made! I love the combination of the relaxing music and the out of control chainsaw. The sound effects are really great too. The sculpting is a lot of fun even though I couldn't even get close to the templates.
Thank you for playing! Yeah, we had a lot of fun recording all the audiowork for this game with our mouths and musical instruments :)
Wish we had just a bit more time to fully tweak the chainsaw movements so it would be more convenient to control it at least when not cutting. But glad you enjoyed the carving experience in spite of that.
Super fun and strangely relaxing! I can barely control the chainsaw, but like, I don't mind, cus I'm just gonna chill out and carve strange shapes and listen to the good tunes! Love it (also voxel/ volume stuff like this is pure wizardry to me so, wow impressive!) (also also if you released the music on its own I would definitely buy it )
Glad you've enjoyed our game! Yeah, this volume raymarching stuff was quite a mountain to climb... A mountain with a ton of graphical artifacts along the way. As for the music, there is nothing really to pay for, I just took a guitar and a harmonica and did an improv for a couple of minutes. There is even an incomming Discord message sound right in the middle of the track that we didn't bother to remove!
Anyways, I've posted a link for an OST download down in the comments on the game's page.
That's so great thanks!!
The sculpting is pretty neat and the chainsaw definitely feels out of of control!
Couldn't even get the basic outeline of the wedding cake right. :D
Thank you for playing!
I suspect our 3d artist intentionally made these models impossible to carve out with the current chainsaw movement mechanics :D
