- Rabbits, deer and boars with procedural meshes and animated legs, a
state machine (idle/wander/flee/charge/dead) and heightmap steering that
avoids water, cliffs, the world edge, trees and buildings
- Spawner keeps a habitat-based budget around the player (6/4/3)
- Melee needs a weapon or tool (club, spear, axe, pickaxe); box sweep hits
- Wooden spear (thrust or throw) and crude bow with draw-scaled arrows;
projectiles stick in the world as saved pickups
- Carcasses: E to butcher for meat, hide and embedded arrows
- Boars charge and gore when hit; hurt flash and a brief healing pause
- Cooked meat gives Well fed (faster stamina and healing); buffs saved
- Hide cloak: wear for warmth, saved, goes in the grave on death
- Feathers as meadow pickups (appended, existing save ids unchanged)
- New test_creatures_combat suite; run_all.sh gets a per-suite time limit
- Seeded weather (clear/cloudy/rain/storm, snow and blizzards on cold days
and above the snowline), lightning, synthesised rain/wind/thunder sound
- Rain/snow particles stopped by roofs; wet ground, settled snow and wind
via global shader uniforms
- Snap-together wood floor, wall, door, roof and gable with structural
support, collapse and X to dismantle
- Shelter detection: dry under a roof, warmer and Rested inside with a fire;
rain burns an uncovered campfire faster
- Bed sets the spawn point and lets you sleep through the night
- Trees, boulders and ground pickups regrow; timers saved
- Grass cleared under floors; shorter HUD hint
- New test_weather_building suite (62 checks) and tests/run_all.sh, which
also fails on script errors
- Health, stamina, hunger, warmth and wet with HUD bars, status tags and clock
- 20-minute day/night cycle with moon, stars and lit clouds
- Campfire fuel (2 min start, 15 min max), heat radius, cooking needs a lit fire
- Berry bushes (regrow 10 min), mushrooms, roasted mushroom, torch
- Stamina costs for sprint, jump and harvest hits
- Death respawns at island start and leaves a grave bag
- Saves include stats, time of day, fire fuel, regrowth timers and graves
- New test_survival_stats suite; tests fail if a script error aborts them
Scenery (all procedural, seeded, no imported assets):
- Terrain shader: grass/dry grass/dirt/sand/rock strata/snow + detail normals
- 5 tree types, faceted mossy rocks, cliff outcrops, sea stacks, bushes,
logs and stumps, batched as MultiMesh per 48 m cell
- Wind-animated grass and flowers streamed in tiles around the player
- Lake (depth-shaded water with shore foam), ocean to the horizon,
cloud sky shader, volumetric fog, glow, softer shadows
- Swimming: float at the surface, swim-jump to climb out
World bounds:
- Steep mountain rim with an invisible wall partway up; one side opens to
a sheer sea cliff with the wall 1 m inside the edge; whole chunk is an
island so the mesh edge is never visible
- Respawn safety net if the player leaves the walkable area or the map
- Fix: the cliff edge now tracks the wall in the headlands (it used to
drop away inside the wall, leaving a pit with lake water hanging over it)
Tests: tests/test_boundary.gd (24-direction escape attempt) and
tests/test_terrain_edges.gd (no ground below waterline near the wall).
Upgrades the project to Godot 4.7 (project.godot rewritten by the 4.7
importer, .uid files added) and documents it in the setup guide.
