The game is finally done, and just in time. I made some basic instructions when starting the game. I am sure everyone can figure out what each crate is and where to land for fuel xD. I dont know if this game will be fitting the theme very well, but I never programed in python and this is my first time using a physics library. Considering everything, I think the game is not bad. Hope whoever plays it has fun.
The game requires python 2.5, pygame, pyopengl, pyode. I will make a binary later on, but for now this is my final entry.
Pretty unplayable... I managed to deliver one package on my second try before ending up face down on the planet. Same thing third try. I don't even really understand what the physics is that's pulling me around so much. Seems like when I am not holding a crate, I should have pretty good control of my facing!
Anyway, I didn't have fun because of that, and I can't really tell about the purported supply chain reactions, since I can't get more than one supply to the base. Gotta work on those controls!
Nice physics, but very hard game. Crates sometimes disappear when I drop them at the base camp. You can't do anything when you land upsidedown and one time I couldn't take off from the fuel station anymore.
Hahahaha, I think my spaceship spend more time on its head than on its feet. :D The ship was way too sensitive to controls and it took me 4 tries to get it down. And it was still tricky. I managed to last a good 4 minutes before I died on my final attempt.
I did not see any chain reaction going on, but that might have been because I was too busy not landing upside down.
What was I supposed to be doing here again? I mean, I read the in-game instructions, but nothing much seemed to be happening at all, except people kept dying for some reason. I think the most exciting moment was when I accidentally landed my lander thing on its head and was stuck there for a while.
the controls are very difficult (though realistic), and when you land your ship upside down... which is frequently for me... you are boned. still, i wanted to play this a lot. :)
Didn't quite get where chain reaction came into it - the people at base camp seem to die in droves regardless of what their supply levels are...
