CPS Week4 - Place [DO NOT PLAY FIRE]

This work goes so far from my plan......well it still related to theme

Sentence 1:

Response to the theme Place, I made a game about interactivity between Player and Place.

Sentence 2:

By doing this I showed a series of interactive actions from pick up item to burn whole forest.  It will surprise player that they burn whole forest by just firing a trunk.

Sentence 3:

The idea of this game comes from the game Don’t Starve. Ever player in Don’t Starve have experienced these actions. They pick up branches, stones and craft them to axe and torch. Then every new player will be shocked by how they ruins the forest around them.

[I kept the content below for self review.]

Theme: Discussion of Place

Context:

I must say again this game goes so far from my expection. At the beginning of this project, I want to build a forest and player can interactive with all things around. Player can cut down trees, pick up anything they want, craft some things and even make a fire.  But after I fighted with a moutain of bugs, I relised I have no time to make them all. What I have done at that moment are: A tree which can be cutted down. Pickable branch and stone and they can combine to an axe. branch can be used to make a fire on trunk. 

Then I changed my plan to this. I add a featrue to fire and make them extendable. So it comes to this game and it lets me remember my experience in Don't starve...everybody fired forest in there...

Reflection:

The experice of exploring is great. Before I start this game, I have tired some other ideas such as using light and shadow in the enviroment to make a puzzle game. While I given it up because I don't think I have time on editing shaders.  On the starting of this game, I considered about how player can interactive with the enviroment and how enviroment can influence player. It is interesting and this game is a good beginning for me.

I have upload 2 versions of game for both Win and Mac. 

Caution: I swear there's very very much bugs!!!
