ShaduShrooms (2008)

Everything here is work in progress!

This is a game for Lost Garden's Shade design challenge.

Playable builds

All builds are in-browser and require Unity Web Player to be installed (it will prompt for download if not installed). Windows 2000+ or Mac OS X 10.3.9+ is needed, and the game requires a graphics card that can render proper shadows (most pixel shader 2.0+ cards will do, except Intel GMA 950 on Windows).

2008 07 31 - oh my, did absolutely nothing during whole July... Here's some small stuff:

  • game area larger, camera follows the player
  • minimap

2008 07 02 - spent a little more time on it. No tuning of the gameplay yet, just small bits.

  • improved following of the player
  • mushrooms will go to homebase as soon as player touches it
  • reduced speed of player & mushroom growth (does not feel right yet; I think at least they should shrink much faster)
  • more complex level

2008 06 30 - very initial stage. Arrow keys to control the player (gray cylinder). Home base is at upper right corner. Each mushroom follows the player at ever increasing distance, so after a while they start following at totally wrong distance (hey, it's an early stage!). No daylight change yet. No "fun factor" of any kind yet either :)
