The first release of Snowman Village is out! Roll snowballs, pick up decorations and build snowmen to populate your village.
Windows version (2.3Mb zip)
Webstart version (for Windows, MacOS and Linux)
The game is played entirely using the mouse. Click and drag over snowballs to push them around. Read the handy hints that pop up to learn how to play the game. Your village will be automatically saved and loaded for you every time you play. If you've any questions or comments please leave a comment below. Thanks!
Known bugs:
- No sound or music yet.
- Selected item should probably indicate that it's selected somehow.
- Snowmen with funny names (ie. ">_<" won't save correctly because their name is used as a filename.
- No fullscreen mode yet.
- I've just noticed that some of the help popups don't appear. Dang.
Misc
Snowman Village is basically inspired by the Calvin & Hobbs comic strips showing the weird snowmen Calvin makes.
So crazy snowmen and scenes are encoraged. [grin] If you make something cool it'd be great if you could share screenshots of it. Later I'm going to add in a way of sharing snowmen between friends within the game.
Today has been crazy productive, but now I'm completely cream crackered and I've already written enough. Technical snippits and details will have to wait.
