Swarm or Die!

A game about the survival and evolution of a species.

-----

Sadly we weren't able to finish it on time, but I'll post what we got running and we'll keep working on it.

There's not much gameplay at the moment, but here's a list of some started but unfinished features:

- Better control of the swarm / camera
- Ability to kill / be killed
- Procedural generation of animals at start and after each "level"
- Mating minigame
- Online leaderboards

Graphics: bitslap
Code: zyark
A little of each and unity: villhest

Thanks to bitslap and zyark for their hard work thus far. It's too late to turn back now!

I can't run it and I have Unity's Webplayer installed :/ on W7 64 bit.

Sad indeed. This being my first unity project, I am quite certain that the next compo will go more as planned. Thanks to villhest for his guidance on how to use the Unity IDE and thanks to bitslap for his awesome graphics! /zyark

@midgard

I built it on Mac. I'll try to make a standalone Windows build. What happens when you try to run it?

Yeah, I get the "Install Unity" page as well. A shame, as this looks great. (and I definitely have the Webplayer installed... I've just been playing a few Unity web games).

AHA! Don't make your link HTTPS... make it HTTP. It stops Unity working from the Dropbox location for some people.

Sad that you couldn't finish gameplay, but these things happen - it looks like a very nice world :)

error 404 :-(

@DustyStylus
Thanks! That solved it, at least for me! Now it works in Chrome as well as Safari.
DaviDeMo28 Aug 2012, 15:36
woot, you just updated it. testing now =D
DustyStylus
DustyStylus28 Aug 2012, 15:38
Hooray, it's working now. :)
DaviDeMo28 Aug 2012, 15:41
yeah, that you couldn't finish gameplay. Maybe the next time =D
Good luck

Really liked the graphically style. :)

Nice graphical style! With more time to work on the gameplay it could still be really good, possibly with an old-style "Bullfrog" feel to it. Plenty of potential there!

It looks pretty, but I can't figure out what I am supposed to do.

The curse of ambition. :-) Too bad you couldn't finish it, looks like an interesting start.

Beautiful graphics. I guess that there isn't too much gameplay though? Keep working at it.

Windows version: "There should be 'LD24incompleteWin32_Data'
folder next to the executable" Web version works fine, I can't figure out how to play it though.

Pretty and like the sound, but its a shame that there's not any gameplay.

Nice graphics and sound.
Also it really looks interesting. But I have no idea what is happening. Like to see more of it though.

Had no idea what was going on but cool looking graphics!
