#PencilChiselCode2022

Game Jam - Pencil Chisel Code Entry 2022

This is a small game our small team made for the Game Jam Pencil Chisel Game 2022 hosted on itch.io, using MonoGame, a game framework library for C#.

It is a chill game where the objective is keeping your companion safe and comfy, by lighting bonfires and feeding them berries. Your companion is scared of The Darkness, getting more and more anxious the farther away they are from you or a fire. You can collect twigs to start a fire or keep the fire burning, however you can't stay at one bonfire or place for too long because The Darkness is after you. Watch the comfy meter because the more full it is, the more comfortable and calm the companion is, and vice versa, the more empty it is, the more anxious the companion is.

To start a fire you need to have 10 twigs in your inventory and for keeping the fire burning (for a bit more) you need to use 2 twigs. Picking up berries from bushes and feeding them to the companion will make the companion more happy and comfortable.

Controls

• Use WASD or arrow keys to move around
• Use E to pickup twigs and berries
• Use F to keep the fire burning (needs at least 2 twigs)
• Use Q to feed the companion
• Use X to start a fire (needs at least 10 twigs)
• Use Space to call the companion to your side or put the companion in a place
• Use Esc to pause the game
