6 Sided Evil Constructions

by raxter
Could only work on this for a single day (the Monday after the compo). So it's really basic (read, crap :p) and not nearly complete. Mostly based on The Codex of Alchemical Engineering by Zacatronic Industries but with hex grid and it *was* going to be able to produce vehicles with whatever configurations you choose to construct (in a day of coding! HA!)

Anyway, was fun for the 16 or so on-off hours I could work on it!

Also it's buggy as f--k, it's 2am atm and I don't care. Also (also) had no time for any theme integration... you are supposed to be an evil dude constructing evil machines (was going to be able to weld all the bits together and everything... but this is now for another day)

It's too bad, that this isn't finished... I really like the idea and caught myself playing with just the 2 arms for a bit ^^ I'd like to see this project finished.

It unfortunate you couldn't do more. The programmable arms are very cool. The sound really makes me feel as if I was some evil engineer creating a device to destroy the world.

Glad you liked the prototype. It is encouraging to hear that you see some potential in it. I've really wanted to make a game like this for a while now. Hopefully I'll get a chance to flesh it out and make it into something proper!

It was definitely hard to get used to the controls, but it was definitely fun just moving stuff around and seeing what each functionality does. Definitely promising.

I don't even understand the gameplay.

Very confusing gameplay, but the feel (click reactions &c.) is quite good. Hope you finish this sometime!
