Dublin GameCraft 2
Posted by: Owen, 18 Nov 2012 19:45
I took part in the 12 hour Dublin GameCraft 2 game jam yesterday. The theme to use to make your game was the colour blue and a picture of a bird on a branch


I decided to take the branch, make it blue and so turn it into a river.

This was a result of my "effort"...

Controls:
  • WASD or Arrows to move
  • Space to drop bombs
  • R to reset

If the ships reach the power plants, pollution increases and so more black clouds are produced, which (if I had finished) would be harmful to the bird, so you as the bird want to bomb the ships. Unfortunately I didn't get to finish, so there are no win/lose states.

I'd wasted a lot of time messing around with the ships and their pathfinding (tracking down quirky bugs in my frankenstein of a custom game engine) and only added the bird, clouds and bombs in a mad dash in the last two hours. Also working on my own without an artist is quite telling :) (I downloaded the bird sprite).
