Crafting screen featuring rabbit skinning and cooking of meat

Changes

• Craftable Item: Knife

• Dead rabbits + Knife -> Raw Meat + Rabbit Pelt

• Raw Meat + Fire -> Cooked Meat

• Improved controls:

  • On inventory screen, CTRL + arrow drops/takes one item, SHIFT + arrow drops/takes half of the pile

Obvious Needs

• A “drop one” button from the main screen. Having to go into inventory to drop traps is obnoxious. (I also like to drop logs/stones to find my way back to my camp)

Why No Eating Rabbit?

Currently, you can eat berries for energy, and so it would have been a simple matter to make meat edible and give energy.

But I think I want to separate out energy and health. Proteins relate to health, carbs relate to energy.

So far, in the game, there is no concept of health, so I need to make that part before eating meat will matter.

I also need to come up with something to do with the rabbit pelts.

The other big concept that I may decide to work on is the barter system. It really all depends on what feature I find more interesting to work on.

But all in all, this here is the game I always wanted to work on. Even thirty years ago when it would never have been possible technically to do.
