I know you guys said that the game is supposed to be light hearted, but what if once the hunter loses his sanity instead of the game immediately ending the hunter freezes, unable to move or shoot, and every single deer, player and ai, stands up like a player deer running and just watches the hunter, slowly moving closer possibly? Maybe it could also turn to night as well so the hunter could feel some suspense. Perhaps after that the player deer have a chance to strike back at the hunter in a mutated form or just normally. I dunno but maybe this is what the hunter sees when they go insane
Maybe an ability for the Hunter could be a ghillie suit ? Also (I don't know the size of your map, since this is the first time I'm seeing your awesome game) perhaps 2 or three randomly spawned "birds eye nest) which the Hunter could use. Both to scout, but also slow his sanity loss :)
What if there were multiple maps that players could chose from? And I don't mean for the aesthetic, but different maps had different playstyles such a dark forest where your vision is limited, or a mountainous map where the terrain is more difficult to navigate.
@@CozyCabinStudios i was gon suggest that but instead, make it so that when you reach 0 sanity the deer act normally until you either shoot a player deer or they you get close. then the deer that got shot or got close to the hunter will preform an insanely creepy transformation into a wendigo and hunt the player down
@@CozyCabinStudios add a leaderboard to make it easy to distinguish, whos alive, whos dead, whos a deer. Whos the hunter, for added fun, allow there to be multiple hunters, add a spectating mode for deer (if you haven't already) round out the abilities, like maybe giving the hunter an ability to soeed up for a short time, or instantly get an arrow in a pinch? (And if you end up using any of my ideas, please give me credit)
Hmmm... what if the hunter ran out of arrows, and had to run back to the cabin to grab more so he doesnt have an infinite amount of arrows in his pocket?
Ooooo like a Camo Ability or somthing, that's an awesome idea and it could add a lot of stragiety too! And yes you're right that would be pretty funny🤣Thanks for the idea!
@@CozyCabinStudios I think a Ghillie Suit could be useful, maybe letting the hunter spawn with it in the cabin as a 'Wearable' item that they have to press E on. Though as a counter measure to this allowing you to hide well and spot those pesky deer, maybe giving it a 'durability' bar that gets weakened when passing deer. Having them "eat" the suit if you pass. A funny way to weaken this powerful ability.
Rare events would be so cool, like a boat passing by or a tree falling down, just so there's little secrets that surprise the players every once in a while
npc deer should make some sad empathetic whimper that breaks your heart a little when they die, and when all the sanity is gone, maybe they could all get up and dance and sing la la la and little deer could fly in a loop round your head :)
A night mode would be pretty cool! A mode were the hunter had to run around at night collecting all the arrows that they missed the previous day while being chased by the deer players, but the deer players look closer to wendigos or something. Just an idea
Mabey give the hunter a ghillie suit so he can pretend to be a bush but make the bush make shuffle noises every now and then to keep it balanced, and mabey a hunter abilty to cut down trees so he can set up an open area to also place turrets
Possible Idea: A huge cave underground that acts like a high risk/reward situation, so a ton of mushrooms for the deer, but theres only like 1 or no AI deer in there, or maybe the cave could hide some memes or lore, like a little dev board
Oh deer, what a wonderful game that will most certainly gather traction with large youtubers! The game would be oh so posh if we added cosmetics for the hunter!
by the way, you should add more difficulties to utilizing the hunter's bow. For better players who have insane aim, it might be unfun for deer who are just trying to have fun. An easier fix to make it slightly harder to hit shots, while keeping it non-competitive is to add a charge time/bar (see hanzo's bow from ow). I believe this will allow better players to also enjoy the game. There can also be a setting to toggle this on or off.
Please add an announcer British woman saying things on deaths like “deer 1 got riggity rekt”, “deer 3 became extinct”, or “deer 1 lit the dance floor a lil too hard”
A rare one could be "Bambi is all alone again.", "there goes the wen- deer.", "remember arrows hurt.", "better luck never.", "the hunter strikes again." There could also be some for the hunter when he kills the wrong deer. "Wrong.","you monster.","poor deer.","that wasn't your target.* And finally when you lose all the sanity "they hunt you run.","run or they'll get you.", "the end is nigh.", "RUN!".
I know this game is called "Oh Deer", but something like a "Holy Sheep" update can be fun as well. Just replace the Deer with Sheep, or pit the Deer against the Sheep, and *chef's kiss* absolute mayhem
Try making the trees and bushes and if not, mushrooms procedrally generated. It would make it different each time :D Also make some upgrades and money you get from winning, there could be better bows that go faster or have a fire spread.
Easter eggs? Chances for little odd extras to spawn in the map? Example: Chance for one single AI deer to be weird. Does all sorts of intentionally funky behavior. It doesn't do anything to actually harm the hunter or players, just acts weird, and watches. Always watches. If the hunter shoots it, arrows bounce off, because it's actually a robot. Why it's there? No idea. Could be a spy. Could be some weird Skynet thing. Hmm. Deerminator. Other idea prompts: "They're in the trees!" Idk, they're in the trees. Who? Not sure. "If a tree falls, and nobody's around to hear it, does it make any noise?" Small chance for a random tree to fall over. Maybe it pings everyone. Maybe it doesn't, and it just happens to see if anybody would notice. Maybe the tree screams. Idk "I am the Lorax, and I speak for the trees." Lorax, lore axe, not sure. Maybe it's an axe that tells players about the development process or smthn. "Bambi" Simply: a baby deer following around a parent deer. Maybe the player(s) can spawn as one, rarely. Idk "Time to make like a tree and leaf." Tiny chance for a tree to get up and walk around for a bit, before rooting back down. Y'know, Tolkien treant style.
1. Hunting blinds in trees/hunting towers that the hunter or deer can climb up into 2. A hidden weapon on the map with a one time use that the deer can find. Use to slap the hunter and send him flying across the map (he takes no damage). Like a pan, chicken leg, or a bat. 3. Slight slowdown when in water 4. A small skin walker cave/lair with human bones and other things they've collected. Doesn't really do anything. Just for aesthetic. Maybe a small underground tunnel? 5. deer customization 6. Bear traps for the hunter to set. He sees them through walls but if he runs over them they damage/stop him dead in his tracks for a few seconds. If deer hit them they are slowed for a few seconds. 7. A hidden sticky/stun grenade on the map with a one time use that the hunter can find. 8. Ideas for maps: skii resort, summer camp, a lodge/school (big indoor maps), ranch, farm 9. Different weapon skins for the hunter: hunting rifle, slingshot, crossbow, laser gun, snowball I'm going to edit this comment if I think of more ideas. My friends and I are for sure buying this as soon as it releases tomorrow :)
Im out here to support indie devs with a small team and an interesting, fun idea. I'll shop this around to a few of my friends, yall deserve the promotion
Some things I think would be cool to add 1. More maps maybe a nighttime map, a snowy map or a mountain map would be cool 2. More hunter abilities something like camo, a speed boost or a deer ping would be cool.
Maybe some seasons like spring, summer, autumn, and winter, where you can also eat tree bark since there are no green grass to eat since food is scarce during winter (mushrooms are allowed in winter as well since there are some types of mushrooms that can survive the cold) so manage your hunger well while still in hiding
@@crystallation4249 a city map would be cool imo. With cars u need to avoid and dumbsters where u could hide in. Also the hunter gets money per kill and need to buy pizza for his sanity 🗿
Hello! Here are some ideas I came up with. I hope you like them Adding a way for the deer to fight back would be cool.maybe if the hunter is facing the opposite direction of the deer the deer could stun the hunter. Perhaps the ability could only be used once per game/round so it’s balanced. A thirst meter would also be cool so the deer would have to move around more instead of camping mushrooms. The third idea I have is a camera for the hunter. Like the sensor, it will be able to be placed. The hunter would have a monitor that would show the deer in front of it. Maybe the sensor and the camera could have a battery mechanic so the hunter would have to go to the cabin every once in a while to charge the electronics.
There should be at least five different maps so the one map doesn’t just get boring. There should also be another animal maybe a wombat and maybe have Burrell’s for the wombats to hide in but they can’t suggest camping it so there will be a five second cool down for them to have time in the world if they just leave the borough and then come back in immediately just kick them out because it should have a 10 second time before they can come back in and I think in different maps or speed, maybe caves, not too big, because then the player might get lost and The Wombats should have a rolling animation for their speed boost
What I think could be amazing for this concept is giving the hunter the ability to select kits. With each kit having a different ability. You already have the trail cam, so let me give a few others. 1. An ability that automatically fills the arrow regeneration meter with a small cool-down. Effectively allowing for 4 shots in hectic scenarios 2. A bear trap, Similarly to the trail cam, this ability will let you set a trap that when player deers step on it, it will temporarily immobilise them. 3. An ability that acts similar to the scan the deer have, but shows recent movements from deers in the area up to a certain radius (this would definitely need adjustment) 4. A camouflage ability that lets the hunter temporarily turn invisible or something similar so that they might be able to catch a player deer doing something 5. A melee based hunter that uses a machete that has the ability to sprint faster on ability use with no stamina drain (if that even exists). Kinda like the cans of drink that scout uses in tf2. Overall, this game has a lot of promise, but the big issue I can see with it is that it could become stale very quickly. I think you guys in the future should focus on giving the game variety and allowing for different methods of play for both the deer and hunter (with the deer you could maybe add different animals so counterbalance this, but idk how that’d work). Amazing work so far lads, and I look forward to seeing more!
Thank you so much for all your input! Those are some really good ideas. I could see us adding more things for the hunter, especially in a kit kind of way. He has multiple abilities he can choose from before the round starts. That could add a lot more variety when it comes to the gameplay loop & more strategies for different play styles. Thanks again for writing all this we’ll definitely consider some of these! :)
Guys you really need to add sprint bar for deer, because when players (deer) starts to run after being spotted game turns from hide and seek into run & catch and it is really hard to shoot deer.
You should add a rare gold mushroom that could have a 1% chance to spawn every 5 seconds or some chance similar to that. The mushroom could give any deer that eats it extra hunger that goes past the max hunger bar, or it could give a decent speed boost, it's your choice on what it will do. The downside to eating it would be that it would make a loud noise lasting for 1-3 seconds. Let me know what you think, if you see this!
What about bear traps that the hunter can place? If the deer walk over them, it plays a loud trap shutting noise, stuns the deer for a second then slows their movement speed. It also gives the hunter a little bit of area control, allowing them to control choke points. A static number of traps + the ability to pick them up and re place them would be cool, but once a deer steps on it there’s no way to get it back.
Some ideas that I think will make the game better is: 1. Charge up the fart in the deer, the longer you charge it for the farther you go and while you’re charging it your stomach growls and gets a bit louder for each second you charge it. 2. More of something to do later on but I think proximity chat would be a great addition
you should make it so that when the hunter loses his sanity, the deer/wendigo do not know which cabin he is trying to get to. It's really easy for one of them to just go stand in front of the door, making it very hard for the hunter to actually escape when playing with more people.
Genius, in the future, need to add a map variety to choose from. Maybe give the hunter some rope traps that are invisible to the deer. Then give the deer a psychic ability to control AI deer to a certain degree
You guys should give hunter ability like deers scan. So they can scan all bushes around to check if someone is there. This will also make camping more balanced.
So good! Now all we need is alternate maps! Bigger ones, smaller ones etc! Also I love an Easter bunny mode where you're a rabbit and the hunter can be Cupid I guess! (I know Cupid is valentine's day but we gotta give them something).
Make an arrow or a little circle that works as tracking a deer they suspect. It’ll flash the deers location every 5-10 seconds so they don’t have to lose sanity quickly if the deer player is in a large group.
I think the deer should have a 1 time ram feature that stuns the hunter enough to make an escape as well the hunter can gather items to craft a small snare that very temporarily stalls the deer
When the hunters sanity bar is close to low they will have a chance of seeing ai deers standing up but not sprinting, just so there's something to tell apart
How about adding something like a store before the game starts? The hunter will be given money(a little) for killing deer and surviving after he has to escape from the Wendigo Deer, but if he kills all the deer before the end of his sanity, additional money is given. The deer, in turn, are given money for eating a lot of mushrooms at the location(a little), for killing a hunter(when the deer becomes a Wendigo) and if they used special abilities the least. However, purchased items only work for 1 round. A hunter can buy a belt radio that will play a rock'n'roll track of farting deer, the radio will reduce sanity loss, but the maximum sanity bonus for killing a deer is reduced from 100% to 75%. Double-barreled shotgun with 2 rounds(extra rounds are bought one at a time for half the cost of a double-barreled shotgun, the maximum number of additional rounds can be 2), yes, you can spend them on deer players and the shot flies faster than an arrow, but if the hunter loses his mind, then he can use a double-barreled shotgun to stun the Wendigo with a shot(for 3 seconds), but the spread of the double-barreled gun will be so strong that the double-barreled shotgun will only work if you shoot close to the player’s deer and double barreled shotgun will reduce the character's movement by 10%. For a deer, you can add a Stone of Rebirth, after death he teleport in a random npc deer in the location and take control on him, there is no second rebirth, and after rebirth, the deer’s hunger will decrease twice as fast. I have no more ideas for items, I invite people to write ideas in the comments
Maybe you can implement gradual sanity effects for the hunter, like if his sanity is low he starts to hear noises like the deer eating or farting or anything like that?
Maybe have it so that if the hunter sees a deer run it drains his sanity a little faster. So that deers can have a more, high risk high reward playstyle?
Idea: some kind of deermon form, witch activates, if you just stand on your hind legs as a deer for pretty long time, making the hunter lose sanity faster. Also it would make an epic thumbnail and title. ;)
Suggestions: Add cosmetic that could be accessed through various achievement like shooting a deer while it's farting or killing a number of them. It'll add some sort of progression feeling. Make it exclusive to hunters tho imagine seeing a deer with a giant boat as accessories and wonder who's the player. Also I know it doesn't feel right with the fun feeling of the game but when the sanity level ran out, make players hearing false noise and seeing hallucinations. It'll be more punishing if the hunter lose his sanity. To balance it, give the hunter extra speed to match his craziness
Found you through shorts, and I love it! Great way to advertise the game btw Also don’t know if anyone else mentioned it but it’d be a cool idea to make different skins for the deer. The skins just being different types of deer. Like the one that has fangs😮 Brb gonna wishlist
You should add a gameode where there is a monster deer and multiple hunters kind of like finding bigfoot and the cabin will have supplys the hunters can take and spots where they can store loot and helpful items they found around the map and the monster deer should be able to set traps like a makeshift trap thats a stick with a wooden stick on its side with thorns and wooden spikes on it and if they step on the traps stone that acts like a pressure plate it will fling upwards and spin for a few seconds hitting any hunter near the trap
try adding different abilities for both roles! like change the uuuh yknow to maybe be quiter for a few seconds,take a disguise of a random prop(except for the hut) for a few second same for the hunter maybe instead of drones add 3 fake poisonous mushrooms which will ping and blind the deer or a simple one, bear trap to prevent bush camping. there are so many ideas,its not the most original but they say no need to reinvent the wheel (and all abilities are unlocked from the start since grinding wouldnt be fun)
Yooooo, what if you add classes for the hunter and deer, example : Hunter -priest Increase hunter insanity 2 arrows Holy water ( can throw to deer ) -traper Add the ability to place bear trap Reduce insanity 4 arrow Deer -skin walker Has the ability to run x2 speed Reduce sight -advance ai deer Can place decoy Can create decoy noise
one of the best devlog yt videos I have seen in a long time, the yt shorts really got my attention for the game. Great work. Btw qre there more maps planned? That variety is something I always like in game and also makes each round just a bit different with differently themed places. Snow area? Qny way love how the game looks
@@CozyCabinStudios nice but a cool way of doing it would be to have multiple cabins and the one you need to return to is randomised to make it a bit more fun. You can also add some form of the hunter knowing where to go, maybe some signs that spawn when it gets dark. Just an idea :)
Here’s some ideas 1.Make some different maps for variety 2. When the hunter loses sanity in stead of just making it dark make it tint red and the deers shift to a wendigo if you’re going for more horror
Can I suggest a dlc where you play as a mountain climber with a pistol hunting rams? I’m thinking you would be at the top of the mountain. There could be a cave that goes through the mountain and spits you out on the other side. There could be a thick cloud layer that represents the edge of the map.
I think you should add more maps. Maybe like 10 different maps. Additionally you should make it so that the maps are random. That way players can’t practice on one map and get used to it giving newer players, or people who haven’t played the map as much, a disadvantage. Also I think cosmetics would be amazing so that people can customize their character when they’re a hunter. Or if possible make it so that deers can be customizable but only other deers can see the cosmetics.
Give the hunter a mele option like a hatchet or knife and give the deer a headbutt attack that can stun the hunter for a few seconds that way it gives the game some more gameplay mechanics or ways to play
Also, you could add traps so the hunter can stun the deer for a few seconds And maybe even give the deer a shield power up from blue mushrooms or multiple hearts so that they have a chance to survive if they get hit the list goes on

4. A camouflage ability that lets the hunter temporarily turn invisible or something similar so that they might be able to catch a player deer doing something
5. A melee based hunter that uses a machete that has the ability to sprint faster on ability use with no stamina drain (if that even exists). Kinda like the cans of drink that scout uses in tf2.
Overall, this game has a lot of promise, but the big issue I can see with it is that it could become stale very quickly. I think you guys in the future should focus on giving the game variety and allowing for different methods of play for both the deer and hunter (with the deer you could maybe add different animals so counterbalance this, but idk how that’d work).
Amazing work so far lads, and I look forward to seeing more!
Thank you so much for all your input! Those are some really good ideas. I could see us adding more things for the hunter, especially in a kit kind of way.
He has multiple abilities he can choose from before the round starts. That could add a lot more variety when it comes to the gameplay loop & more strategies for different play styles.
Thanks again for writing all this we’ll definitely consider some of these! :)
Guys you really need to add sprint bar for deer, because when players (deer) starts to run after being spotted game turns from hide and seek into run & catch and it is really hard to shoot deer.
You should add a rare gold mushroom that could have a 1% chance to spawn every 5 seconds or some chance similar to that. The mushroom could give any deer that eats it extra hunger that goes past the max hunger bar, or it could give a decent speed boost, it's your choice on what it will do. The downside to eating it would be that it would make a loud noise lasting for 1-3 seconds. Let me know what you think, if you see this!
3:16 THE CABIN!!!!
nice game idea
What about bear traps that the hunter can place? If the deer walk over them, it plays a loud trap shutting noise, stuns the deer for a second then slows their movement speed. It also gives the hunter a little bit of area control, allowing them to control choke points. A static number of traps + the ability to pick them up and re place them would be cool, but once a deer steps on it there’s no way to get it back.
Some ideas that I think will make the game better is:
1. Charge up the fart in the deer, the longer you charge it for the farther you go and while you’re charging it your stomach growls and gets a bit louder for each second you charge it.
2. More of something to do later on but I think proximity chat would be a great addition
you should make it so that when the hunter loses his sanity, the deer/wendigo do not know which cabin he is trying to get to. It's really easy for one of them to just go stand in front of the door, making it very hard for the hunter to actually escape when playing with more people.
There should be a bonus to eating mushrooms when you're not actually hungry, so it's not just a flex
Genius, in the future, need to add a map variety to choose from. Maybe give the hunter some rope traps that are invisible to the deer. Then give the deer a psychic ability to control AI deer to a certain degree
You guys should give hunter ability like deers scan. So they can scan all bushes around to check if someone is there. This will also make camping more balanced.
i hope your channel and games grow as this is an amazing video!
I got another idea for this game: Add another hostile animals such as bears but they are neutral so it doesn't give unbalanced changes to the game.
Honestly the fart is genius. It's memorable and silly and fun.
So good! Now all we need is alternate maps! Bigger ones, smaller ones etc! Also I love an Easter bunny mode where you're a rabbit and the hunter can be Cupid I guess! (I know Cupid is valentine's day but we gotta give them something).
To be completely honest it's refreshing to see games like this thanks for your guy's work.
Make an arrow or a little circle that works as tracking a deer they suspect. It’ll flash the deers location every 5-10 seconds so they don’t have to lose sanity quickly if the deer player is in a large group.
I'm SO excited for this, Y'all did such a good job at promoting this in shorts
I think the deer should have a 1 time ram feature that stuns the hunter enough to make an escape as well the hunter can gather items to craft a small snare that very temporarily stalls the deer
Congratz on the big wishlist numbers so quickly!
When the hunters sanity bar is close to low they will have a chance of seeing ai deers standing up but not sprinting, just so there's something to tell apart
You guys are about to blow up - prepare yourselves accordingly 😊
Give the deer a fear meter so when the hunter approaches, they become faster, but become extremely slow after the meter ends to balance it out.
Absolutly amazing concept. Cant wait to play this
Later on you guys should add a deer horde survival mode...where the deer can eat you, and you have to hold out in the cabin or somewhere till dawn
Stuff like this reminds me why we love video games just wonderfully a good time.
How about adding something like a store before the game starts? The hunter will be given money(a little) for killing deer and surviving after he has to escape from the Wendigo Deer, but if he kills all the deer before the end of his sanity, additional money is given. The deer, in turn, are given money for eating a lot of mushrooms at the location(a little), for killing a hunter(when the deer becomes a Wendigo) and if they used special abilities the least. However, purchased items only work for 1 round. A hunter can buy a belt radio that will play a rock'n'roll track of farting deer, the radio will reduce sanity loss, but the maximum sanity bonus for killing a deer is reduced from 100% to 75%. Double-barreled shotgun with 2 rounds(extra rounds are bought one at a time for half the cost of a double-barreled shotgun, the maximum number of additional rounds can be 2), yes, you can spend them on deer players and the shot flies faster than an arrow, but if the hunter loses his mind, then he can use a double-barreled shotgun to stun the Wendigo with a shot(for 3 seconds), but the spread of the double-barreled gun will be so strong that the double-barreled shotgun will only work if you shoot close to the player’s deer and double barreled shotgun will reduce the character's movement by 10%. For a deer, you can add a Stone of Rebirth, after death he teleport in a random npc deer in the location and take control on him, there is no second rebirth, and after rebirth, the deer’s hunger will decrease twice as fast. I have no more ideas for items, I invite people to write ideas in the comments
You are such an underrated youtuber
Maybe you can implement gradual sanity effects for the hunter, like if his sanity is low he starts to hear noises like the deer eating or farting or anything like that?
I think this is easily my most anticipated game of the year! Killer work guys!
Honey!! Yes the hunter is here again oh deer!!
Maybe have it so that if the hunter sees a deer run it drains his sanity a little faster. So that deers can have a more, high risk high reward playstyle?
For the hunter model you should add an arm guard on the arm that is holding the bow
Idea: some kind of deermon form, witch activates, if you just stand on your hind legs as a deer for pretty long time, making the hunter lose sanity faster.
Also it would make an epic thumbnail and title. ;)
Suggestions: Add cosmetic that could be accessed through various achievement like shooting a deer while it's farting or killing a number of them. It'll add some sort of progression feeling. Make it exclusive to hunters tho imagine seeing a deer with a giant boat as accessories and wonder who's the player. Also I know it doesn't feel right with the fun feeling of the game but when the sanity level ran out, make players hearing false noise and seeing hallucinations. It'll be more punishing if the hunter lose his sanity. To balance it, give the hunter extra speed to match his craziness
Add an ax that allows the hunter to break a few bushes and trees but it takes a a second or two for balance
I love the idea of making the arrows on a timer, thats a great balance.
It helps the deer make epic plays and getaways
Found you through shorts, and I love it! Great way to advertise the game btw
Also don’t know if anyone else mentioned it but it’d be a cool idea to make different skins for the deer. The skins just being different types of deer. Like the one that has fangs😮
Brb gonna wishlist
You should add a gameode where there is a monster deer and multiple hunters kind of like finding bigfoot and the cabin will have supplys the hunters can take and spots where they can store loot and helpful items they found around the map and the monster deer should be able to set traps like a makeshift trap thats a stick with a wooden stick on its side with thorns and wooden spikes on it and if they step on the traps stone that acts like a pressure plate it will fling upwards and spin for a few seconds hitting any hunter near the trap
make it so that farting costs food, as opposed to a cooldown, so you can use it whenever you want, but it's way more risky.
Very cool!
try adding different abilities for both roles!
like change the uuuh yknow to maybe be quiter for a few seconds,take a disguise of a random prop(except for the hut) for a few second same for the hunter maybe instead of drones add 3 fake poisonous mushrooms which will ping and blind the deer or a simple one, bear trap to prevent bush camping. there are so many ideas,its not the most original but they say no need to reinvent the wheel (and all abilities are unlocked from the start since grinding wouldnt be fun)
Highly advanced AI. scary
ChatGPT could never😎
Yooooo, what if you add classes for the hunter and deer, example :
Hunter
-priest
Increase hunter insanity
2 arrows
Holy water ( can throw to deer )
-traper
Add the ability to place bear trap
Reduce insanity
4 arrow
Deer
-skin walker
Has the ability to run x2 speed
Reduce sight
-advance ai deer
Can place decoy
Can create decoy noise
There are about ten youtubers i want to see play this!
cant wait to see this game be played all over my home page! looks really fun
In an update further along it would be nice to see more maps added.
Hunter shall be able also to fart at night when trying to escape. But it only could do it if a deer has screamed before
this reminds me of nondeer the creepy deer looking monsters that walk around on 2 feet
Skinwalker Vibes 👀
i think a secret ending for the deer could be a very cool thing to go for with friends. something like killing jason in the friday the 13th game
Id buy this game.
one of the best devlog yt videos I have seen in a long time, the yt shorts really got my attention for the game. Great work. Btw qre there more maps planned? That variety is something I always like in game and also makes each round just a bit different with differently themed places. Snow area? Qny way love how the game looks
You could have some false deer players that run around as well only to confuse the hunters more but other than that I love this game so far!!!
Make it so the hunter cant just stay in their cabin when their sanity is low and they instantly win
We actually already fixed that issue!
@@CozyCabinStudios nice but a cool way of doing it would be to have multiple cabins and the one you need to return to is randomised to make it a bit more fun. You can also add some form of the hunter knowing where to go, maybe some signs that spawn when it gets dark. Just an idea :)
Here’s some ideas
1.Make some different maps for variety
2. When the hunter loses sanity in stead of just making it dark make it tint red and the deers shift to a wendigo if you’re going for more horror
Didn’t expect the TH-camr to see this
Keep uploading, good looking game, keep it up.
Have the abilities slowly refill instead of just being available or not.
Have fart spray stain the ground.
This game looks awesome so far
add an acquireable ghillie suit to offer some minimal visual onfusion
Can I suggest a dlc where you play as a mountain climber with a pistol hunting rams?
I’m thinking you would be at the top of the mountain. There could be a cave that goes through the mountain and spits you out on the other side. There could be a thick cloud layer that represents the edge of the map.
Add a modificator like the mines, but this time it force the deers to fart time to time, uncontrollably
This channel is a gold.
I subscribe.
I think that making the deer walk on its back legs should slow hunger for a high risk high reward strategy
I think you should add more maps. Maybe like 10 different maps. Additionally you should make it so that the maps are random. That way players can’t practice on one map and get used to it giving newer players, or people who haven’t played the map as much, a disadvantage.
Also I think cosmetics would be amazing so that people can customize their character when they’re a hunter. Or if possible make it so that deers can be customizable but only other deers can see the cosmetics.
We, as a community (including devs), need to bombard Smii7y when this game goes live. It fits their style PERFECTLY.
I hope you guys still add the nuke! :D
Im so glad my reccommended showed me this game
Give the hunter a mele option like a hatchet or knife and give the deer a headbutt attack that can stun the hunter for a few seconds that way it gives the game some more gameplay mechanics or ways to play
Also, you could add traps so the hunter can stun the deer for a few seconds
And maybe even give the deer a shield power up from blue mushrooms or multiple hearts so that they have a chance to survive if they get hit the list goes on
There should be a button to make a deer sound as a deer 😂
Andrew looks like he hears fish fart
