We Live in Texas: A Realistic Simulation by Maestro Light

A realistic simulation of living in Texas heat. Based on a true story.

My #1GAM challenge! It’s a realistic simulation of living in Texas.

Wrapped up Night Krawlers over the weekend. Started on a new project this morning. Trying to keep that streak alive! Shout out to krispyfeels for his awesome music. Really brings the game to life.

It’s almost there! :V

The game is actually slightly more ready than I report here. The “collect puzzle pieces and they turn into resources” part is cool already. :)

I’m more worried now that I have no idea what to do next month. :P

My March #1GAM game: Respawn

I was exceptionally unmotivated during March to do hobby gamedev - there was chrunchtime on my dayjob, and I got sick afterwards too. I had to really force myself to create a game this month. :(

And it show on the game too - it is based on an old idea of mine, but turned out to be not-that-good when implemented, and I don’t have to motivation to fix the design besides some weak attempts. :(

Anyway, it is a chain-reaction type game, where you have to clear the screen from monsters using limited number of explosions, and trying to create the longest chain reactions (the monsters are exploding when die).

The unique twists in the game, that there is some avoid type gameplay too, because your avatar is also on the screen. There are two forms for your avatar - the “living” form (the fairy), and the dead form (the angel). When the angel respawns there is an explosion, and the explosion radius is determined by how many enemies are near to the avatar when it is willingly dies. If a monster kills you, the explosion radius is miniscule.

So, basically you have to move your avatar near monsters, and click to die (turn to angel form) at the last moment possible. Then position the angel so when you respawn, the fiery rebirth starts a chain reaction.

Ohh, and when you die, the ground gets scarred - and you can’t respawn or willingly die on scarred ground, so the game automatically gets harder during play.

Kinda confusing written out, and just a bit clearer during gameplay - try it out if you are interested. :)

Schoolyard Sim Update (d0cc8cb)

Since the last update (02da14e), I added a new display for children. They appear as faces whose emotions reflect their morale value. They also have little life bars to their right, which display their current health. 

They also go towards the attraction they are using, and only board the attraction once they are close to it.

Next, I plan to work on some sort of interaction between children, like if there are too many children with low morale close together, they get into a fight.

Here's another video that throws more children into the simulation: http://youtu.be/9v0HTV1mKmM.

After working 1 1/2 months on this game I finally released SnowyDay.

It's a sandbox-like exploration game with a lot of snow. I don't want to spoil you too much because you have to discover almost everything by yourself, but here is a tiny tip: Right click the ground and / or wait until something happens.

This game is most comparable to Mountain.

Play it online on Newgrounds or download it here.
