Day Two

Day Two of Game Jam...

Today I went back to the drawing board to come up with a concept that actually is fun to play, shocking I know!

I've created an eco system with 3 organisms, that interact in the following ways:

Red - Chases and eats Blue, generating 2 Red organisms.

Blue - Chases and eats Green, generating 2 Blue organisms.

Green - Chases and eats Red, generating 2 Green organisms.

The aim of the game currently is to get as many Red organisms on screen by the end of 30 seconds.

I also introduced a "set up phase", to allow the player to place the organisms before they start interacting, and then sit back and watch the chaos (hopefully!) unfold.

I'm a lot happier with the "game" aspect today, its approaching something I can actually play and retry to improve my score.

I also implemented a simple shader to give the organisms a bit more of an organic look, I'll probably try improving further on this later in the week.
