Interesting idea! It was also fun to outrun the dogs :) It would be great to have the counter for how many people you saved, and maybe some navigation hits. I didn't quite get whether you can warm up - it was quite unobvious whether staying near the fire helped. Also, when you run diagonally - currently the speed is too fast. But i like the idea - quite creative!

The diagonal run was just somehting i knew and was thinking to fix it but in the end because of hurry it stayed in. Ya the warming up should be indicated better and have bigger area where it warms you. Now you need to be very close to the fire.
There is behind calculations that even if you cannot fire the camp it slows down the cooling. :) but there is not really use for that. Also cold gets you faster if its snowing and moving is better than staying standstill.
Sounds cool! But I feel you :D I also made a rather complex temperature system in our game - outside temperature depending on the day, the strength of the thermostat, and the strength of the fireplace, and it all affects the speed of object freezing... But everyone just sees that "it freezes too fast" :D
