It's a bit random yes ahah, I think I will work again on it later, to make better behaviour and polished gameplay. To reach a hight score, you must play like hit-and-run, or like a wise thief...
@marudziik : You can listen the music on my soundCloud : http://soundcloud.com/titouan-millet/the-atom-way (I composed it and recorded it during this LD), do I have to put in the download also ?
Ok sorry I didn't know we must provide the source ! I fixed that, you can now download the archive that contains my three .as files (ActionScript3 classes)
For the source, sorry it's not very clean...I program as a barbarian, with funny variable names xD
Thank you for all your nice comments !
The game is now on Kongregate, with highscore API ! I'll add Achievements later ! http://www.kongregate.com/games/Titoulion/electron-cloud
If you just have been touched by another nucleus, you are colored in red, you are invulnerable and you can't steal electron for few seconds. The rest of time, you can !
Yeah, great ! I (Titou) laughed when I saw you finally really made something with flowers !
Yeah in fact the world can works without any of your move, but there are some actions that can help or make more difficult a thing or another to happen.
Violence and fear decrease the happyness, where more place (2 free block at the top of a dirt block) and food increase it. Happyness increase the chance to a huy to become a lumberjack, a farmer or a fishman. An electric shock decrease the violence, but increase the fear. More a guy is violent, more he is a chance to hit another guy. When a guy is hurt, he becomes more angry, more violent.
Anyway there is no real goal, I like to say it's a sandbox thing, an experience =3
(Sorry for spelling mistakes, my english is not perfect and i'm still a bit tired xD)
I wrote a "small" article/post mortem about this game and about OH MY GOD WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE and all =3
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/08/30/post-mortem-of-my-pairs-and-me-or-what-the-hell-all-this-thing-is-maybe-about/
xD yes sorry I just realised that I wrote ZQSD instead of WASD (french reflex !). It's fixed now.
Yesterday the Web version (swf) had some lags so I thank it was better just providing the Windows version. But in fact I just tested it again and it seems that it's not lag too much anymore. My computer was certainly as tired as me last night ! So I added the Web version.
Thank you for your encouraging comments !
Yup, the point is can you easily find out who in a crowd is a villain ?
Thakns for all your awesome comments ! About the target cursor, it follows the mouse cursor, I mean it moves to the mouse cursor with a little latency instead of always being at the mouse cursor position. The shot is efficient just under the target cursor, and not just under the mouse cursor, so it's a bit hard, but intentional =3
Oh thank you Jupiter ! And thank all of you for your comments and feedbacks =3
Understanding the gameplay and what the fuck is happening is part of the experiment, but obviously the stuff is not clear at all. I added more accurate instructions, maybe it will help a bit
By the way the game can also be played just as another random contemplative experiment, and I'll be really happy if you could appreciate it in this perspective at least !
I'm sorry but the game never tell you that you lost. I don't like the term "art game", I think it's effectively a pretentious and meaningless naming, that's why I never use it when I make stuff, even if most of the stuff I'm making is not conventional. I like to experiment and get away from normal structures, like scores, levels, victory/defeat, etc. Please don't judge me too much, because it makes me sad é_è
Ahah no it's not really about religion, but there's certainly some mystics in it ! Like I said in my last post, to maintain the illusion that the individual has only one life, you have to delete all his memories before his soul/stuff reincarnate in a new body, otherwise he'll remember that he had other lifes and...well I don't know, it would damage the cosmic order or something ahah
I usually don't tell obviously my own interpretation of my own games, but this time I wanted to tell a story. However, it's not the "true" story, I mean there is never a "true" explanation or meaning. What the player find in the game is not always the same stuff that the author put in it. In fact I prefer when people tell me about what thye find in the game and it's a totally different from what I imagined initially while making the game !
Why can we see their blood whereas their body is invisible ?
Actually some americans are women sometimes.
Piece of art
AHAHAHAHAHAH
I smiled !
I can't hold my tears playing this game, so much feelings !
It's sick on the front
Obviously it needs kinect.
Thank you for the kind words Brian Stegmann !
I aim to make full games like this one day, but for the moment I'm experimenting with short ""poems"" like this one.
Don't hesitate to share the screenshots on Twitter, I want to see them !
You'd instantly die !
You have the right to be here ! Maybe you've found the trick, or maybe it was unintentionally, but in fact if you get here, you are close to the second ending !
Try to sit down on the stool by pressing the E key, it's the first step. You'll find the man soon.
Walking through the two sidse of the same island is part of the experiment indeed, however there is a sequence of actions doable in order to reach the first end of the game. The second end is a bit trickier, but findable enough for a curious player :)
Awesome atmosphere !
Nice one, pretty addictive !
Not bad, but I'd say you should add a shop and some score
You guys really make funny stuff ! Keep it up !
This is so funny and felicitous !
I like the aesthetic !
Very good feeling in this one, the flow is efficient and hard to master !
Oh my god I finally made it ahah...
Awesome level design !
AWESOME
@mahalis Hm maybe it's because it's uploaded in dropbox? I'll try to reupload the .zip on mediafire. Anyway nothing malicious in it ahah
@dustyroom In a Unity Terrain, I modify the heights at runtime. Look at the CreuseTerrain function in the TerrainScript (sorry I'm a bad programmer, I code half in french and almost never comment xD)
@dustyroom Oh ok, well If you're talkin about the ground aspect, it's nothing very technical, I just spent a lot of time tweaking the values of the colors and the effects to reach this aspect but it's just the Unity Transparent/Specular material.
@Iak No you're right, it clearly lacks of gameplay. I wanted to add actual interactions, but ended up running out of time. That's why I prefer to call it an experience or a poem. I'm not gonna tell you how to rate the games, it doesn't matter that much anyway, but if you tell me you found it interesting or had a good time, I consider it as a success! Thank you for the feebacks!
