Moar Contest Progress [Kilin]

Posted by Castypher on April 4, 2008, 10:07 a.m.

As if you haven't heard enough about contest entries, right? Well, here we go.

Remember before, when I announced the concept. You get to play as a lixie, a defenseless little puff ball trying to get off of an island. So, to entertain you people, here are some screenshots.

This is the clock. It works in game-time.

The clock travels at a moderate speed, and you can see the effects of day change before your very eyes. Right along with the clock is a date counter, which will be added later. The idea is to see how long you can last, if not get off the island entirely.

By the way, you can't cheat by constantly sleeping. Your hunger will be down quite a bit and you won't be able to sleep again due to just waking up.

These are your status meters. Represented above are hunger, energy, and life force.

If your hunger is depleted, simply find some food to eat, because if you don't, you will begin to lose energy much faster.

When you lose all of your energy, your life force begins to decrease. Your life force, in this game, is…

Health

When that reaches zero, the game ends, and the amount of time you survived is recorded and shown to you.

Your energy doesn't go down very quickly, to tell the truth. As long as your hunger isn't zero, standing still will cause you to regain energy. If you're hungry, however, your energy will remain constant as long as you stand still. But remember, you can't stand still forever.

Also, take care that your energy remains moderately high. When it reaches zero, or when you take damage of any kind, your life force will decrease. Not to mention there's no way to increase it.

Finally, I may be getting an online highscore table soon. One for the amount of time you survived before dying, one for how long it took you to escape, and one for you game score on the final level and boss.

Whoops, that slipped. ;)

Well, that's it from me today.

@ESA: Because people might think it's another 64D story. :(

I see. Well, the pictures look pretty good. We could do with some more screenshots of the actual gameplay, though

:D

When I get more gameplay, I'll post more pics. However, it's possible that I might have to discontinue this as I can't meet the time requirement.

Can the lixie get fat and die of a heart attack?
