Anything else you'd like to share about your game or development process?
Mechanics-wise this is a trip back to my comfort zone. Then again, I haven't made a shooter in almost a year!
First game (at least for me) where a part of the development process was going for a walk in the woods! Funny enough- kkuba (who makes all the 2d graphics for our games) went for a walk to the same forest a day later and he saw actual, real-life boars there!

What I Liked
- The optimization and overall performance of this game was absolutely PERFECT! I play most of these game jam games on a crappy school Chromebook, and literally every unity game (especially 3D ones) take 10+ minutes to load, but this one loaded in less than a minute!
- The art style is also amazing, I love pixel art, ESPECIALLY when it’s translated into a 3D environment!
- The lighting and detail was really good, again, crappy school Chromebook rendered this game beautifully.
What I Disliked
- I noticed a bug, if so, the hogs would just kinda clip through the center of the map, meaning if unlucky, they would keep going back and fourth and it would take 10+ minutes just to kill one hog
- There is a small inconsistency with the art style, not the biggest issues (like the shelf at the end of my game) but the trees were so beautiful, and the hogs were a little lacking, even though I still love the graphics.
- It was a little hard to tell what’s going on, the text helped a bit but at the end I couldn’t see what was attacking me, and I kinda just died confused (funny end screen though)
Overall, I love this game. I think that the story is pretty funny, just your stereotypical horror moron ignoring all clear and very obvious clues that the thing they are doing is stupid and dangerous. I do say I think the game could use some small bug fixing and touch ups, but even then it’s still runs really good, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you got top 3! I’m rooting for you dude!
The background story behind your game is realy cool. Didnt realy captured the hallowen theme but i can fell the passion behind it. I personaly find the game way to slow and hard to undertand if what im doing realy matters in the end, i was just walking around trying shoting the boar and nothing realy happened. Maybe some feed back would be nice. And something else happening in the game like you going to your car or cabin to re-stock bullets, put traps... something to make it more engaging
Thanks for playing!
The game goes more horror-y after you hunt 5 boars. The secret is to keep them at the distance (over 25 meters). Then... well, something happens.
Also- boars die in one hit, so I'd say there is some feedback :)
soo i realy missed all my shots lol. But that is what im talking about, maybe a bullet trail, so you can know you missed. The guy say something like, danm i missed.
Hey kkcn, the sound design was the highlight for me! A little more guidance during the hunt could help players find their feet. Interesting idea mixing boar hunting with horror.
If you get a chance to try A Borrowed Shadow, we’d love your honest feedback and a rating. It’s our first jam, so we’re keen to learn. Good luck!
Thanks for playing!
I think I made the game a bit too hard. No one writes about the ending, and that's where the horror part starts :)
Loved it, really had me focused in it!
Thanks for playing!
Great game! Definetly made me rage after not being able to shoot that shit for the 10th time
What you could definetly add is
1. More hogs, i only see 1 hog at a time
2. hogs come out in the open, I gotta go to dark corners to find that little bastard
3.Sprinting and jumping and crouching
Thanks for playing!
Keep the hogs at more than 25 meters and shoot them from the distance. After hinting five there's... a further development.
As for the movement options- I had jumping, but I decided it didn't fit the game.
this game was awesome and i really enjoyed that i didn't have to take it seriously at all, i loved the art style even tho it was very simple it made me realize that to have a good game jam game the art can look like it was put together in 96 hours. i noticed a glitch where if you shoot an already died hog it plays the message again idk if that was intentional.
Thanks for playing!
Didn't know about the bug, definitely not intentional! As for the graphics, I used some assets I owned for a while, and the pixelated effect can be done in 5 minutes. As for the ending graphics- I have a guy for that :)
Hey kkcn! I actually played quite a few hunting simulators, but yours is definitely the hardest I've tried so far :D Those darn REALITY HOGS!
Pretty fun little game. The gameplay felt pretty good. The hunting felt a bit stretched because I didn't manage to catch that little slippery *****! No clue how to beat the hog at night, i didnt see anything really.
The sound was good, can't rate it at night because im scared by the spooks so i turn off the sound and listen to cats meowing instead.
All in all - great entry!
Thanks for playing! Little hogs run away if you approach closer than 25 meters if you shoot them from distance, it's all good :)
For the night hunt, you need to listen to the sound and look for the glowing eyes. If you manage to win you'll get one ending, but if you lose... well, you get a different one! It's Halloween and endings are like candy- everyone gets one!
