Theme: Discovery
More Info: /ludum-dare-19-has-begun/
Venture into the insane genetic laboratory! Splice creatures together and discover new breeds of them!
(It feels more of a toy for now... maybe in the jam i can add 'game' elements and more genetic wonders! However, i need to do final year university work!)
Forgot to add controls:
W, A, S and D -- Move around.
Left Click -- Select creature.
Right Click -- DeSelect all.
Enter -- Skip Dialogue.
Thanks and enjoy!,
Kyle

Ignore that last comment haha. It's sorted. Tiredness is getting the better of me.
It seems like you might be having problems with dropbox? The link isn't working, if you need a place to upload I might be able to help you. just send me an e-mail [email protected]
Ahh cheers! It's got a few mintues left of uploading to dropbox. I'll let you know when. Thanks again though!
This is a really cool idea.
The intro text changed faster than I can read, but the voice acting more than made up for it.
Nice idea :) Now if only they attempted moving with arms for legs,...
Thanks very much! Yeah i wish i was more prepared to add animations and such in the time given. And yeah sorry the game is only 20mb really. There is just an uncompressed wav on there which i'm compressing now. So it should shrink soon.
Done, it's now 20Mb instead of 150Mb that audio wave was unecessary. compressed to ogg instead.
It was funny to see all the creatures being created, but I felt like following no objective. Indeed, it seems more like a toy than a game itself.
You should make a way to skip dialogs, I had to restart the game and have to hear again everithing :(
The voice over was a good attempt, but you should record it while the text is being displayed so you can get the speed right. You were going a lot slower than the words, and it was on the 2nd part of the speech while you were still on the first part. The game got cluttered REALLY fast, it would be nice if you were able to delete or remove some of the spliced creatures.
Thanks, the voice was really a last minute thing so i didn't spend much time matching the speed. You can press enter to skip the text dialogue but it won't stop the sounds. Forgot to add that, 1 line of code can solve that.
I'll add some deletes and removes too. I was going to make it so you can select where you want them to breed, but it just finds the centre point between the two creatures and spawns them around that point.
Cheers though!
Just quickly fixed that dialogue thing. No major change though.
Very ambitious!
But right now it doesn't really deliver. I spliced around with monsters and humans, and suddenly the game slowed to a crawl (about 0.1 FPS).
There is no real goal as of now?
Endurion: Yeah, there is no limit or optimisations for HUGE amount of monsters and no goal... it's merely a toy. There was a lot i learned from this though, and what i can do next time to ensure i have a 'game'. I spent more time on foundation code which i was annoyed at.
Thank you for your feedback though. Much appreciated!
xeon06: Thank you very much! It's good to hear.

Dropbox is running really slowly... the upload is running over the time. Is this ok? Didn't expect it to take so long.
