Hey there! I'm Zanzlanz and this is my second Ludum Dare entry, "Dragon Boss." :D
__________________________________ TL;DR _________________________________
Read this if you don't feel like reading the rest:
Move with arrow keys, use shift to breath fire, and space to pick up animals. Avoid arrows. Collect items until you win. I had fun and loved talking to my live stream viewers. There are goats, and they are yummy.
__________________________________ INFO __________________________________
Wow you went passed the TL;DR. Thank you :)
So the whole game is based off of you being a dragon. You main goal is to become a boss. In order to become a boss, you can terrorize the giant village filled with archers, cows, and GOATS.
I created all music, graphics, (most of) the code (I submitted an ugly engine before it started), and sound effects in the allotted time of 48 hours. The art is actually made up of 13 colors, total, so I think that's a cool feature! My live stream adds up to over 17 hours of video.
________________________________ CONTROLS _______________________________
- WAD or arrow keys to move. Keep tapping up (or W) to fly.
- Shift: Hold down shift to breath fire. Fire can burn down houses or catch people/livestock on fire.
- Space: When there is a person or livestock under you, press space to pick it up. Press space again to drop it. If they take fall damage, they die and give you goodies.
______________________________ WIN CONDITION _____________________________
Simply, if you're completely leveled up, you win.
You can be leveled up in speed, flight, and flame. The highest level for each category is 10!
________________________________ ENTITIES _______________________________
All entities can be picked up and thrown on the ground. They all drop meat, hearts, and 2 experience orbs.
- Archers: They're the villagers. They all have bows and arrows because they are paranoid. They'll squat before they shoot an arrow at you. So watch out :D
- Cows and goats: They're just there because they're yummy.
____________________________ DRAGON PROPERTIES ___________________________
On the display is health, hunger, experience, and your power (speed, flight, and flame).
- Health: If it goes to 0, you die.
- Hunger: Decreases over time. Determines how fast your stamina replenishes.
- Stamina: It's how much energy you have to do things, such as fly and breath fire. It will automatically increase over time. It will decrease if you use up your strength.
- Exp: Every 200 exp, you gain power in one of the 3 categories (speed, flight, and flame).
_______________________________ TIME LAPSE _______________________________
I livestreamed this whole thing (including me write this D:), and I was able to make it into a timelapse! See the links at the top for the video.
I must give a huge shout out to the people who watched my live stream. There were awesome to chat with, and it was nice meeting new friends.
___________________________ POST-COMPO GAME ______________________________
I am working on finishing the game that will fix bugs, improve graphics, and add REALLY COOL features.
I'll post it on Ludum Dare when I'm done, of course. One of the new features is the dragon will grow over time. It works great and is cool too x)
