Honestly, putting the source out in the open is kind of terrifying. The code was written without the expectation of a global code review. I regret so many lazy shortcuts and the general lack of solid architecture now...
Hey it worked. My only gripe was with a few (very minor) aspects of the design, like not being able to stop and eat meat after a fight, or dying of starvation despite carrying a large amount of fresh meat. I noticed a couple of tiny display bugs, but none that interfered with operation. It may have been prototype-level code, but I played through to the end which is something I don't usually bother to do!
Understandable given the HN crowd. Try to focus on the fact that you did an incredible job. At the end of the day, the purpose was to create an entertaining game. Me and a whole bunch of others gave you 6-7 hours last weekend, and I am not easily parted from my hours. I haven't been captivated by a game like that in a decade.
