ElSchorschoDE··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
Chopping firewood and drinking beer go together naturally. So I am making a game about this! I launched the demo on Steam last week: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5023190/Drunk_Woodcutter_...

Seeing youtubers' reactions has been so funny and encouraging :)

A game about cutting firewood while drinking beer. Cutting logs lets you sell firewood, which you spend on increasingly absurd upgrades (axes, wood types, booze). And yes, you can absolutely hack yourself in the kneecap!

It's my first game aiming for a commercial release on Steam, so it's taking me longer than expected. Have been working on it for eight months now.

I like splitting firewood in my backyard, and I thought there should be a game about it. So I'm making this:

I'm building a chaotic, physics-driven first-person woodcutting game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4521770/Drunk_Woodcutter/

I was splitting wood in real life, and even though it's a chore, it's oddly satisfying work, too. Every hit feels different, sounds different, every piece of wood splits in different ways. I want to catch that vibe and put a good dose of comedy on top.

It's using realtime mesh cutting for the splitting, and I recorded 48 different chopping sounds for it :D
