Building and tools 🏠

What would a good rabbit civilization be without infrastructure and a wide range of tools? ...


A Leap Forward offers the rabbit leader several buildings / tools that can be placed in the world. They can be categorized in 4 sections:

Population

Population buildings supply housing so that your population can grow. Each house allows for 5 more rabbits to live in your colony. More rabbits can mean a higher rate of Production! 🐇

Resources

Sure, you can spend your life gathering branches or apples, or you can invest in valuable tools! Axes, shovels and farms are a good way to grow your stockpile with resources. Your rabbits will automatically start using the tools you provide them with - or you can grab them and help out! Choose wisely! 🔨

Defense

The fox armies are no joke. With each attack, the foxes come up with new tactics and types of fox units to lay ruin to your newly founded civilization. Cleverly placing traps in the path of the enemy, building walls or scouting towers are a must if you want to keep your rabbits safe! 🛡️

Offense

In this section, you have access to a variety of ranged weapons - as a rabbit close quarters combat with hungry foxes is not a good idea. Make sure to shoot from elevated ground for a clear advantage! 🏹

Building a level:

This week, we blocked out a level, tested it and then filled it with more beautiful environmental assets!

Players can really learn the core of the game here and prepare for battle. This is iteration 2/3 until it is added to the game!

At the core of the game is the rabbit AI. 🐰

They make plans and find the best way to interact with the tools that you have provided and the given resources in the environment...

Controller support 🎮

This week, we added support for controllers (Xbox, PS4)!

The tooltips update automatically to let you know how to use the controls. Feels like the controls fit the game very well, and are excellent for platforming. 🦘

Experience spheres 📘

Can you spot the blue spheres? They give you experience points that will let you grow your character! Melee combat = more risk but higher reward!

Materials ⚙️

After several playtests it has become clear that there are a lot of items cluttered on the ground - you can now dismantle them and use the materials as a resource! Let's keep our town tidy 🧹

Feathers 🪶🪶

The characters now finally have reached the fluffyness they were intended to have!

The gentle penguins 🐧 - they live in harsh climates and are on your side:

Working on this pandemic game since 6 months - play as birds and evolve! 🐣

Grounded Birds is lighthearted, easy to pick up but also pretty dark. It's about birds that are literally grounded ( can't fly anymore ) and need to find a way to survive. 🐤🐦

Added a dismantling option for unused swords or armor - can you ever have too many particles? 🐣 🎆

A first look at a new game prototype! Over the last days: multiplayer, building stuff, and cheetahs chasing you. Sticking to core mechanics first is tough, had to stop myself from going all-in on art and sound too soon!
