Post-Mortem: Game is now open source

This is the source code of YSBH. Sorry if it's in Google Drive, I had problems uploading it with GitHub.

Hello guys, thanks for checking out my game. I've worked on this game from the start of 2023 abd rushed it to around the end of April 2024, after which I've barely ever touched this game again.

Im my opinion, this game had a great premise and a fun early game, but is incomplete in some aspects and has some glaring issues.

My main inspiration for this game was Don't Starve, another survival game, from which I found the early runs before winter interesting because it felt like a roguelike with permadeath and how short these runs were.

I believe the biggest issue with my game was the wiki as a source of meta-progression, which clashed with the randomization aspects of roguelikes (if you learn something about an item, for example, you can't use that knowledge if you never get that item on the next run) which resulted in the game having on prominent randomization. It also fails to fix some of the problems of Don't Starve, like difficulty spikes and having some runs destined to lose because you were unprepared.

On the bright side, I personally think the idea of a wiki could have worked if this hadn't been a run-based game, plus some of the mechanics like the movement, some of the props and items, and having to plan ahead / playing with yourself ended up very fun.

In the end, I chose to publish the source code because some people found the idea very great, and wanted to see it develop into a full-fledged game. That person could be you reading this, someone else, or even future me.

Whatever the case, check the code out and have fun!

This Godot project uses version 4.2.1 (I think).
