Additional Information

The Game is Build with Godot 4.5

Web build

Originally we aimed to support a web build alongside of Windows and Linux builds. However, as the game grew in its features and complexity, we did encounter multiple performance issue that were only present in the web build. Due to the time limit on this jam we decided to drop the web build and offer only executables.

Bombay Duck

Bombay Duck is the working name for this project in our Version Control System. We ask for your understanding for any confusion due to the name of the executable not being "Guardian of the Forest". To say it simple: Bombay Duck = Guardian of the Forest. These are not 2 different games or builds.

SO CUTE! Y'all worked so hard on this game. I'm super sorry to hear about the web build issues, but I downloaded it and had a lot of fun with it. I'm not sure if I played it right, but I felt like I survived for quite awhile before "mankind" destroyed the spirit tree! I really liked the 3d design of it and having multiple animals to switch between was a really cool idea! It's always fun hanging out in your streams and your games are so interesting!
