Evolution Demo

1 08 2008

Hi,
for my State Exam I decided to write this four-days demo, so to show directly how the evolutionistic theories could be validated also in a computer program…

Here’s some absurd screenshots ;)

The ramified things represent an individual, wich is built upon its unique genecode, leading to hundreds of possible shapes… but only the ones that can move faster and cost-effectively will survive!
There’s a save system that allows to load 9 predefined moments pressing F1 to F9: it can take some time to get a pretty ecosystem.

While very “scholastic”, I like the design that I managed to implement in the end… clear but not too much “childish”, to not scare the professors. ;)

Anyway, HERE’S the demo download… please note that this is my first “public release”, so tell me of any problems, it will be a useful feedback for future downloads! :D





My new project: DRAFTED!

27 07 2008

Hi, here’s my first game project, on wich I was working from some time now…

DRAFTED: Ink Wars!

In the game, you lead your army to the victory, defeating all the enemy soldiers: would be a pretty commonplace gameplay… if the deathmatch wasn’t fought into paper sheets!

In fact, you can’t command directly your fellow soldiers, you can however bring them to victory drawing any object with your pencil… you can draw big obstacles, large rolling spheres, and anything that you think would crush the enemy; using special mouse gestures you will spawn weapons, wich can be put to good use by the soldiers… just pay attention to not squash your own men ;) !

It’s better to be careful when managing your soldiers, because they are deeply influenced by their mood, wich encourages them into charging, but can also make them run away… and they are made of Ink, the only resource in the game; it’s better to not lose too many of them…

Maybe you can imagine it like an encounter between Crayon Physics, Lemmings and Worms… with much more new features!

Here’s some screenshots, wich show the bases of the game: the ability to draw physical objects of any shape, moving soldiers and multiple sheets:

I hope to put in it many more features, like different “styles” of soldiers, multiplayer, a mod system, and much more… but for now i will try to have a working demo ;)

Stay tuned for other updates…

I will try to release a video as soon as possible :D
