Eco-gro by skysthelimit

[raw]
made by skysthelimit for LD34 (JAM)
The plants get eaten by the herbivores, the herbivores get eaten by the carnivores and the bugs are trying to put a stop to it all.

Enter a first person, open world environment and create and grow your own ecosystem and keep your creatures from extinction.

Controls:

W,A,S,D to move.

Left click to shoot.

1: Select Seeds.

2: Select Goat eggs.

3: Select Dragon eggs.

F: Pick up or Place down.

Spacebar: Jump

Shift: Sprint

Esc: Menu





How to Play:

Create an ecosystem and protect it from the deadly bugs.Use seeds to grow plants and find eggs and hatch them.

The ultimate goal is to destroy the bugs!





Tutorial:

1)Place your seeds to start growing plants.

2)Harvest the plants by pressing F to collect seeds when the plants have fruit.

3)Make sure you have a good supply of plants before moving to the next step.

4)Look for a goat egg and collect it with F

5)Place the goat egg with F.

6)Wait for the goat to lay an egg and watch as your goat herd grows. (Warning: make sure they have enough food or they will starve).

7)Look for a dragon egg in the world and proceed the same as with the goats.

8)Dragons eat goats so make sure you have enough or they will starve.

Dragons will roam the world killing bugs.

If you find yourself face to face with a bug, left click with your mouse to throw rocks at it. They multiply fast but they die easy.

Everything in the game was made by us. Except for the unity standard asset tree because we were running out of time and the world just looked too bare without anything.


Edit:
Added a webplayer. Took me a while to figure out. Sorry about that.

HTML5 version is imported incorrectly (you need to host all files from the output folder, html file is just to display them), and I cannot run OSX version (no error, just information that file cannot be opened).

Cool concept i'm not 100% sure what I was doing. I planted some seeds and killed a giant army of wasps that came.

re: Andrew Patton

I suspected that people might struggle to work out what to do which is why I wrote an in-depth tutorial above ;)

A lot seemed to have been complete over the weekend, which is great. I was unsure of what I was doing at first, but I soon figured it all out making it all the more good.

I keep getting killed by the mega-wasps. Interesting idea and cool looking island.

As for the OS X version: I see you've comprressed your windows binary with RAR, but RAR does not store permissions and will break the app folder. If you create an OS X app compress it with zip/7zip etc instead.

Great but it runs slow x)
And a in-game tutorial would be great, because there is too much with nothing.
The bugs are cools by the way o/ Why don't you replace F by the right click ??

The ecosystem management is a good idea. finding eggs was very hard and I feel like you have to do that before any of the planting happens. Good motivation to get the dragon. All the elements balance well. Maybe start off with a single goat egg?

I like the concept of a growing ecosystem.
Unfortunately, I weren't able to get past the growing plants phase :(
Damn those wasps :D

The concept is nice. Maybe you should check the stone physics, looks weirds when you launch it during the walk.
