🥩🌾Scavenging, food sourcing and where inspiration strikes
[h3]Howdy, Chiefs and Chieftainesses![/h3]
Have you ever wondered what the early humans did before the great leap into the wide unknown world of agriculture, tending to their very own plots of land to farm crops and vegetables?
[h2]Hunting, foraging, and scavenging, of course![/h2]
There are many contradictory theories surrounding the dawn of humanity, and our game showcases one of them – first focusing on using the terrain to its best advantage by foraging for berries, roots, and any materials useful in perfecting weapons and further advancing the tribe.

Within the game itself, food affects the status of your character and the tribe members tremendously – 3 statuses are impacted and whose maintenance is key to securing your survival.
Food comes in many shapes, sizes, and polygons! From the humble berry, nuts, and succulent tree roots to juicy ribs and steaks – however, watch out and learn the ropes of watching the fire, the latter may be much more nutritious and tasty when heated up!
Migrations and changes in surroundings enabled our ancestors to perfect the equipment needed to actually aim at dominating meat sources such as caribou, chickens, all the way to mammoths – and later on, decide whether staying in one place and building a sustainable settlement may be the best move forward.
But that is a tale for another day! In the meantime, here you can see a WIP for the household in the farming era, the second big part of our game.
Face the world of the paleolithic and archaic revolution that introduced us all to the lifestyle that changed the fate of humanity forever – and led us all this way to iron ore, steam, computing, and AI!
Strap on and let’s start the ride!

- WELL-FED means that over-time healing gets triggered and your Stamina recovery rate is added; a food bonus gets applied to the given character
- NO STATUS/EQUILIBRIUM provides no healing and Stamina recovers at normal rate; food bonus applied
- STARVING provides an incentive to start hunting or gathering resources as soon as possible as your health decreases steadily before dropping to 25 HP. Your characters get a speed bonus to help find food sources but beware! Your stamina still gets affected and its recovery rate is decreased significantly.
