Not sure yet. I don't have a mac to test but I can probably figure something out.

Trees Hate You (demo) by tykenn Do NOT trust the trees

I have a version of the demo on Itch: tykenn.itch.io/trees-hate-you

Thanks everyone who has been testing out the #TreesHateYou demo and sharing their playthroughs. I was not prepared for it to blow up this week, so sorry that I've been kind of quiet about it. I'll try to share more details about the actual Steam demo release soon.

Tonight I've been testing a new way for the trees to get around

Time for revenge

I put some colliders on those roots and tested out the tripping.

Trees Hate You now has 20k outstanding Steam wishlists after less than 2 months, which feels surreal because I haven't even promoted it much yet besides sharing an occasional funny clip.

Thanks everyone who encouraged me to pivot and focus on the mean tree game idea
#gamedev #indiegame #steamgame

I'm working on an effect where roots/vines will grow and trip you or something. I'm probably not going to cover an entire level like this, but I had to try it out.

"Trees Hate You" game running on a Steam Deck

Just confirmed, and yep, it's running great on Steam Deck so far, and working well with its controls.

*Very* early WIP of a Sisyphus-themed level idea, still just trying things to see if feels like the right kind of miserable

Been playing with active ragdolls and apples...

1. This game needs more enemy types but designing them takes so much time.
2. The game already has trees, though.
3. What if the trees were the enemies?
4. What if that was a whole game?

Definitely. I have a Deck, so I'll for sure be testing it on there

Eyes now follow suspicious trees instead of always staring lifelessly forward. It's a little thing, but it seemed like it might be a fun detail.

Currently adding more "hats" to the game
#gamedev #indiegame

Yes (Not by me, but I commissioned it from an illustrator). It's gotten some accusations of being AI, but we iterated on the design, I have the early sketches and the source files, and the artist has been doing this style for years, so it seems legit to me.

The Steam page for Trees Hate You has only been up for about 2 days, and already over 3 thousand people have added to their wishlist!

Thank you to everyone who wishlisted or shared my silly little game. It's makes me excited for the future as I keep working on this.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! It's exciting seeing one of more silly random ideas start to turn into something

I started working on a winter level for Trees Hate You.
#screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Yeah, as I've made the game longer, I've needed to make the traps more elaborate to keep things fresh. So there's less of simply getting shot or crushed and more of other weird stuff in between

I think I'll keep teasing players with an axe just out of reach.
#screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #ragegame

With the way I previously made the demo end, this is my idea so far on how to extend Trees Hate You for additional levels.
#screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #ragegame

Thanks for trying it out! Yeah, I'm going to do another pass on that level and probably add a checkpoint or two.

More "Trees Hate You" shenanigans
