Hey guys,
I just wanted to get some feedback on what you guys think of my first Unity game: The Adventures of Tree.
Game Story
When evil creatures known as “Florps” burst forth from the island’s core, a lone Adventurer Named “Tree” must put an end to their destruction.
Explore the large Open World in this RPG, survival, exploration/adventure game.
Throughout the game you will have to make decisions that will affect what ending you get when completing the game.
The game is open world and there are many secrets to be found on the island of Formagetus.
This game also has a survival aspect and players will have to buy or find food for their character or face starvation.
Upgrade your character with over 30+ weapons, tools and clothing.
Kill creatures to gain experience used to upgrade your character’s stats.
If you enjoy 2d platform games, or just are up for exploring the hand drawn scenery, then this game is for you!
Basic Game Features:
-Full day/night cycle.
-Change your characters look with a large arsenal of different items, tools and equipment.
-Upgrade your characters stats by gaining experience and earning upgrade points.
-Search the island for hidden secrets and Easter eggs!
-Pick through 40+ quests to earn cash or progress your ending.
-Use your gold coins to buy new items, invest in risky deals, or bribe enemies.
-Do whatever you want, whether it be surviving the harsh winter landscape, or walking through the peaceful forest, there are no restrictions in this game.
Inspiration
Basically one day I was sitting there watching a YouTube video, and an ad popped up about Unity. (I had no knowledge about programming/coding before this - I didn’t even know what a bool was…) I thought: Hey! That looks awesome! I wanna make a game! So I started working on a game… It wasn’t pretty - I was fooling around blindly in C#, I had no clue what I was doing. Then I found Unity’s tutorials. I spent around two weeks watching them/experimenting with coding then started working on a game again. Note: I was doing all the graphics myself, so I ended up with a lot of terrible art like this…
My older brother saw this, and almost started crying. (He’s really good with art.) So he makes a deal with me, he does the art and I do the code, a 50-50 split. Fortunately I agreed and we started working on getting our game on Steam’s Greenlight. (We’ve already been Greenlit and are on Steam Early Access.) Now it’s been around seven months since we started this project, and I’ve learned a lot and have got quite a bit of progress into the game…
Thanks!

This looks like a very cool game. Very Indie. I like it a lot. The graphics are fantastic as well. Looks like a sort of cross between a retro DOS and Indie styles. I noticed some people on Steam really appreciate the unique look of the game as well with one commenter saying the graphics are much better than Skyrim’s! Of course, I will be the first to say graphics don’t make a game good or bad the actual game-play does that and Tree looks like it has that covered too. Well done!

Wow! If I had money to buy this, definitely would. 
Game reviews are all positive currently, and the game itself seems really fun. I’ll probably buy this next time I buy a game. Good luck with it!

Lol, guess it’s not very popular…

Don’t think that! You’ve only posted one time, so the thread gets left behind because all of the other posts are being posted on. Posting updates on here will put your thread at the top of the page–that is when you do it.
But you never know, this could be a super amazing hit on Steam, but not on the forums.

Thanks, glad you like it. I didn’t think to post updates. Guess I’ll start from now on.
Hey guys, if you’re interested in screenshots, here’s a link to the Steam page where all our users upload theirs: Steam Community :: The Adventures of Tree
Dang it! Stop posting these! i don’t have the money right now to buy this! 
This game looks super cool, and I love the art; looks like you’ve got an active community, too. I don’t like 2D platformer games…with and exception of this game. This makes me inspired to make a 2D platformer, something like this. Open world, RPG/quest elements. You guys have truly made an amazing game, keep it up!

@Whiteleaf Thanks for all the awesome, positive feedback!
Out game’s on sale at Indie Gala!
Sale link!
I would totally buy/play this game if I hadn’t spent hundreds of hours on Terraria. I can’t play any 2d survival games anymore with my PT(erraria)SD
It looks super clean though and really fun! Great job!!
Thanks mate! Also, our game is a little more storyish than Terraria. You get to make choices that actually affect many thing throughout the game.
Cool! There’s not many games that do that.
Update 27.900
•Improved performance even more.
•Made mobs able to switch scenes flawlessly. (Sometimes they would randomly disappear and such.)
•Made more items respawn that look like they should, and even some that don’t. (Clay, Iron etc…)
•Made it so if the player Shift-Clicks or Right clicks in the inventory (Also in chests and furnaces.) while hovering over an item, the item will be moved to the appropriate slot. (E.g. If the player right clicks on an axe that is in his inventory slot, it will automatically go to his/her weapon slot.)
•Updated some of the movie unlocking code so that a movie will be unlocked if the player has the Steam achievement relating to it.
•Updated the item script to save the time of the item’s collections. This now fixes the bug that would respawn all the respawnable items in the whole game on a load.
•Tweaked the arrows to shoot a bit lower from the standing position.
•Fixed a bug with the map that was preventing the close button from closing the map.
•Fixed a bug that was counting the mushrooms as slimes for the achievement “Red and Mushy.” (When you killed a mushroom, it would go towards the 10 slimes that you needed to kill and when you killed a slime, it wouldn’t do anything.)
•Fixed a bug the achievement “Green and Slimy” that was making it so hen the player caught a frog, it wouldn’t increase the “frogs caught” number that Steam’s achievements went by to grant the achievement.
•Fixed a bug that was preventing the player from passing the Sawmill without jumping through the air.
•Fixed a bug with the Swamp that was making the frogs constantly disappear.
•Fixed a bug with the throwing knife that would sometimes allow it to fly off into the sky, thus resulting in over 100 Gold Coins wasted!
•Fixed a bug with Pink Hat’s dialogue that made the feather quest say underwater flowers and the underwater flower quest say feathers.
Hot-Fix 27.901
•Added a bunch of new items. (Pyromaniacs will love them!)
•Re-worked lots on inventory logic which makes Shift-Clicking work better.
•Fixed a bug that was causing items to fall through the ground.
•Fixed a bug that made arrows sometimes disappear if shot through a scene.
•Fixed a bug that was making the frogs impossible to catch.
•Fixed another bug with the frogs (Passive frogs) that made them only able to jump right.
•Fixed a bug that made some creatures just randomly disappear when loading an older save.

Seriously right now, I want to buy this game but I don’t have the money, lol. That’s…a lot of bugs. Good thing you found them all!
Lol, yes, we’ve actually had a few people say that.
Also, we currently don’t support those platforms because we have some platform specific code that works only on Windows. (using imported dlls.) And it would also take a fair bit of work to port to Linux while in development stage. It has been considered though, and it is still being considered.
Thanks! Also, the community helps us by posting bugs in the Steam Forums which then allows me to spend more time coding and less time bug testing.
Im not a fan of the slow combat. Attack the enemy, run backwards. Repeat. Maybe you should make the enemies jump back when you hit them. Anyways, the game looks really cool and I will definitely purchase when I have the time to play it. Congrats on the steam release!
