Story :
Greetings, conqueror !
You are a proud member of one of the 4 mighty clans living around planet Delgacron !
In order to promote the sharing of the numerous resources between the clans,
the planetary general council installed a network of teleporters, lining together
all the chunks of land of the asteroid crown of Delgacron.
New technologies were developed with the sharing of rare resources.
But now, this is an open war where selfisness triumphs !
_____________
Description :
You arrive to a fresh, unexplored land.
Grab your pickaxe, and dig your way to the various resources under the ground.
Build some things.
Attack the other player's land to steal some resources from them ! But watch out for their defenses !
Go back home, build more stuff. Build defenses to slow down enemy players !
_______
Glitches corrected :
Flash : - the power "Deconnect towers" crashes the game
- dammage displays were behind characters
- jetpack crashes when used at the very bottom of the map
- computation of powers values corrected
- the second bullet of the "double fire" power doesn't hit the player anymore
- change some sentences to make them more understandable

Thank you awesomeusername for your interest ! You right, the sentence wasn't clear enough, so i change it. Thanks for the help :)

I'm very impressed with the gameplay, well done.

Original, I like digging for building, but once attacking, I couldn't figure how to come back to my base...

It seems to take too long to generate resources. It might work better for a full game but for LD the timescale is very long.
The game is really polished... I'm surprised you are able to do this quality of work and a complicated game in such a short time.

awesome, very innovative

Very good well done

@damrem : You have to wait for the teleportation portal to be recharged. I will change the sentence above the teleportal timer. Thanks :)
@Crefossus : We are 3 programmers (one for the server, one for the editor and one for the arcade) and 2 graphic artists. So, with a lot of excitement, we do a lot, but ain't got enough time to balance correctly the game :s

well done!!

Innovative and surprisingly complex for a ludum dare game.
Good job!
Good job!

Using Firefox 31.0 on Ubuntu btw.

This was neat, but it felt unresponsive at times and I had no clue what I needed to build certain structures. This makes for a neat casual game.

A really great entry! Great theme interpretation too!
A really detailed virtual world with lots of classic things to get players to stick at it farmville-style.
Its really difficult to make a multiplayer game for LD; I suffered problems getting people to play in LD24 myself.
Loved the graphics, loved the game's depth, loved the tech behind it all, wanted to see the kind of missile systems you blogged on the main page, but didn't really seem to have anyone to play with :(

Awesome game, super complex. Wish there were a few more base defenses, and that the resources generated a little faster.
Dietrich Epp4 Sep 2014, 01:24
Wow, this is really cool, I'll have to play some more later.
liquidminduk5 Sep 2014, 07:57
great pixel work, very clean game with fun gameplay
CodeNMore7 Sep 2014, 12:18
I liked it, its a cool concept! Just didn't like the click-mining :)

Great game you got there, it's just not the type of game I would normaly play.
It's a great concept, but invading the other players' bases was not interesting and rarely a challenge. Having to wait for the portal to open, although the world has no defences that could stop you was pretty annoying.
The resource gathering speed is about right when you would play it over the course of several weeks/months, but I think it is too low for Ludum Dare.
Also it would be great to be able to place undestructible blocks again, or else when you miss-dig one time you can't close the hole anymore.

Really cool game, great graphics and sound, and I kept returning to it every now and again during the day to build my evil, evil lair. Resource gathering speeds were probably a bit low for Ludum Dare - I saw plenty of levels where the player hadn't built anything. Also, as far as I can see there's pretty much only one useful resource, with all of the others used only for decoration purposes or in small amounts for tech research. My advice would be to split the useful items over more resource types; this would make the previously useless resources useful and make it easier for players to gather enough to build stuff for their own level.

Great looking and detailed, but it just wasn't fun enough.
Natrium72911 Sep 2014, 00:59
Nice concept. In fact, it looks like a good, "normal" web-based game.
Dohan14 Sep 2014, 10:36
Very nice entry. Some people really know how to protect their resources!

Please let us know how we can improve this to meet the demands of your role in the IT Industry.http://downloadgoodfilesonline.top/media-video/ubuntu-stephen-lundin-pdf.php He said he had a way to make Nian leave them, but nobody believed him.
Unfortunately, I could never figure out how to "connect device to siphon energy" Or was just touching the mine enough?
