[WIP] Wumala, The Voracious

[mox]

This isn't related to the recent contest. I've just been sitting on it for while. Much of the art isn't done, but I feel pretty good about the gameplay.

Stats:

 

• Hunger - 130 *
• Health - 50 *
• Sanity - 120

Features:

• Increased Hunger rate
• Rapidly loses sanity when very hungry (about three points after "I'm so hungry")
• Food is slightly more beneficial.
• Balancing your meat and veggie intake will yield long term benefits.
• When threatened, doesn't give up easily.

* Wumala gradually improves her stats by eating a balanced diet of meat and vegetables. This works similarly to WX78 and gears, but much slower, with a much more accessible source. 

 

 

 

Changelog:

 

v0.6.0

* Moved around strings a bunch.

* Fiddled a little with hunger mechanics. 

* Drafting a couple experimental components. (usesammo and ammo)

* Added a recipe tab. (sort of)

* Added Bow Sling Thing.

 

v0.5.0 

* Adjusted hair.

* Reworked food & eating: (Flowers were too OP)

  - Short term boost altered.

  - Bonus on-eating food boosts heavily nerfed, and

  - balancing your diet (meat and veggies) and managing sanity is now necessary to maximize long term boosts.

  - Removed the blanket 2 point bonus satiation. 

 

 

EDIT: Updated to version 0.6.5 on steam workshop.

 

 

New Item: Bow Sling Thing

  Use this item (weapon) to throw extra twigs, stingers, and pinecones from the main inventory. To stockpile any of those, keep them in a backpack. Currently does less damage than an axe, and more than a torch.

Sounds interesting, though I will say all vegetables seems a bit easy. You might want to make it the grown vegetables so you have to works at it a bit.

I've come to the same conclusion. It helped when testing the feature, but petals are actually super easy to get early on and probably shouldn't give equal benefits.

Updated to 0.5.0 last night. 0.5.x might last some time as I fiddle with the food.
