My attempt at Ludum Dare 45's theme "Start with Nothing". This is my first game jam ever, even though the game is not playable in this state as I haven't implemented a real win condition, I like the idea I had.
I wish I had time to implement more interactions between tiles. Basically the game is about a "golem" god being, that starts in an empty world with seeds in his body. As he moves through the world, he lays down seeds for various things like water, trees or humans. In this way, he creates new life from the barren world.
I know the game is not finished at all, but I didn't want to quit, so decided to publish it and just face the bad ratings haha.
But it was a great learning experience, and I can't wait for the next Ludum Dare!
Instructions:
The goal of the game is to develop the barren world in the same way as the overlay map is developed(toggle it with SPACE).
WATER SEED - creates river
FOREST SEED - creates forests
VILLAGE SEED - creates village or city if applied 2 times on same block
MOUNTAIN SEED - creates mountains
MOVE SEED - free move point across the map(you can move without move seeds on the stone edges of the map)
Controls:
- Space: Remove overlay for target map
- Arrow keys: Move on the board
changelog:
- fixed bug with win screen so you can progress to other 2 levels actually now
- added build for windows on itch.io
