Family Sim by Pierce_Z

[raw]
made by Pierce_Z for LD35 (JAM)
Instructions:

The purpose of the game is to mate with as many people as you can through the generations. You take on a child of the next generation and try to live for as many generations as possible. Walk up to other people to mate with them, just spend a few seconds near them without leaving their side. Avoid people with infections (white light is good, anything else is bad) and people of the same gender, also don't take too long to mate or you'll slow down and die as well.

Controls:

Normal WASD controls, you can also press 'K' to quit.

"white light is good, anything else is bad"... I don't see any ways that sentence could be taken out of context....

Different. A touch hard for a colour-blind person such as myself, but I can figure it out if I pay really close attention. Nice smooth character models and tech.

The idea is good, but it's really hard to tell the difference between the infected and uninfected.

Really weird game. I died from infection several generations after starting. A restart option would have been nice.
I don't see how it relates to the theme tough.
Good job!

It may not have come across well, but the Shapeshifting aspect was meant to be you becoming a new person each generation. Didn't have time to make the visuals more obviously changing.

Good choice of tools :) You could have added some textures on the floor :) Nice idea, good work. You didnt use the html5 export as it is made for (in my opinion it has to be host not downloadable. I couldnt retry without doing F5.
