absolutely amazing work for a first game, and in 30 days too!! actual feedback below, but first I just wanna say this is something you should be proud of, no matter how "fun" it is, it's really well done

Things I liked a lot:

Your atmosphere was genuinely unsettling, the breathing and the emptiness and the fog all added up to me being pretty unnerved while I was looking for the outpost

Your scene composition was great, with the signs pointing off into the fog and things just barely visible, the farm with the single lamp post -- really good stuff

The 3D terrain and textures were really well done

The character controller was very smooth and worked well

that procedural (I assume?) animation for the crop I got to plant was pretty brilliant

Things I suggest:

Raycast3D on your player camera for item interactions 

put a flashlight on your player if you keep doing horror themed stuff, it adds so much

but seriously you're just starting and you're doing awesome, excited to see what you do in the future bc you really have a knack for scary atmosphere

Thank you! There was a time where it had both of those (flashlight and raycast3d) after adding more other things it got hard for me to keep rarcasts when I didn’t understand how they worked. And was just following a tutorial from someone else. (Been working on understanding things like this after this jam though) Had to remove the flashlight because of performance the laptop I made this on is really bad and even this “complete” build was running at 15fps or lower and removing the lighting helped not much I could do about that I do have a pc that’s way stronger its just still in the middle of being sent to me as I moved a country recently.

The animation is deceptively procedural. Its only changing the animation length when a plant is planted. Based on a random float range I set.

I have no intention of stopping this hobby I found it very fun will probably join a few other jams in the coming weeks!
