Screenies


Here's some captures from just now - after Ludum Dare we spent some more time working on the game so we could show it off with some other PIGSquad developers at an Intel conference. Mainly we added a bunch of unnecessarily gross blood, screen zoom/shake, and status effects like "Poisoned!" and "Rabies!" (rabies is actually a power-up in the game and just makes you faster). We worked super hard to get it ready to the point where I was programming in the car on the way there. Unfortunately we didn't get a lot of visitors because our room was sort of far away and nobody knew we were there, but it was worth the trip anyway because we played a bunch of Portland-made games like Hard Lander and Zero Zen (both really addictive local 4-player games), as well as a very promising work-in-progress game called Super Splataclysm in which you run around chopping pixellated heads off.

Anyway, screenies (this is just me messing around so the other characters just stand there):

I am really happy with the way animals move in this game (which was all the work of Jack & Terence). You can see a bunch of tearing of joints though - still not sure how to get Unity to stop doing that. Anyway, this game is pretty fun to just mess around in but I think it needs one or two more competitive elements to make it all it can be - currently it's just sort of a free-for-all. Not that it's a problem.

In this game you attempt to coerce animals into mauling your friends. We (well, I) had a lot of problems getting the physics to work consistently (Unity needs a 2D revolute joint) so it was not as finished as we would have liked, but still a fun time. It sucks when you're so busy trying to get your game workable that you don't get to see what anybody else did!
