The Wild West And Its' Living Fossils
-----------------------------------
'The Wild West And Its' Living Fossils' is a game where dinosaurs have come and invaded the wild west. They brutally murdered your friend and you want revenge. Kill every reptile you can get your hands on. The two different worlds collide together and are connected. (<- See what I did there)

This is my first Ludum Dare and also my first "Complete" game. It really isn't complete but at least it has a beginning and an end. If you want to play a more polished version of the game check out the post compo version which will constantly be updated.

Features
-----------------------------------
- Customise your player skin
- Fight against a what may seem like an endless wave of dinosaurs
- Dinosaurs ranging from small velociraptors, t-rex and huge brachiosaurus
- (Multiplayer, is buggy and may not work) and singleplayer*


Made by me with Unity and Photoshop.
Music by TomboFry. music.tombofry.co.uk

There is also a Post Compo version being worked on which is available (see above), but has multiplayer taken out until it works. The post compo version will eventually include:
- Shops
- Seamless multiplayer and singleplayer
- Achievements
- Different modes
- And more!


*This game features both single and multiplayer but both are very buggy due to the time constraints. This game was made in one and a half days. If you notice a game breaking bug please tell me. Thank you.

This was pretty good. It's pretty odd how just a few people actually tried to combine two genres (in this case, cowboys and dinosaurs) to make a theme-related entry. This one turned pretty well.
I loved the graphics, and the song is gorgeous... even though I don't quite think it suits the game.
The game is overall good, but I think it's way too slow. The time needed to find an enemy is just too much. I liked that you can still shoot dinosaurs after you kill them, nice detail.

AWESOME!!!! The art, music, and general feel were all great! I love the cutscene, death screen, and customization! The gameplay was a bit lackluster but was made up for by the exploding dinosaurs. Fantastic job! :D

This was fun, but very slow at the start!
Like I said on the stream: Start the game on the equivalent of wave 5 or so, and add an arrow pointing you towards the nearest incoming dino so you don't need to search for em as much, and you dont walk in the other direction.

Very nice game, with the caracther creator and the dinossaurs. But it could have a better gameplay.

Man, the soundtrack has stuck with me. Props to the one who made it. The art is also gorgeous. The day-night cycle is also a nice touch which gives the game a really great mood.

Good job!

totally friggin' ridiculous! The only thing missing is the gun sound. But I can excuse that. This is amazing!

Pretty fun, really dug the animations and overall feel, the day and night cycle, as well as the weather was a nice touch. This is an awesome job, especially for your first LD, keep it up!

It was a great little game - the fact that there is multiplayer support is quite amazing considering that this game was made in such a constrained timeframe. Excellent job, would keep playing to see how high I could get xD

I approve of this game. Awesome graphics and mood and music. I only wish enemies got to me faster so I could shoot them more.

A unique commentary on the lizardman menace in upper class society.

This game was really cool! Out of all the games that I have rated so far, this game has the best music. It also has very nice graphics and a really cool feel to it. I wish there were a little bit more to do, to make it more challenging and rewarding.

It's a simple and fun concept, which works rather well. I like the fact that there's actually multiplayer integrated. Also, Dinosaurs and Cowboys are an awesome mix.

Hi there. Amazing that you included character customisation. Like the music. Shame no gunshot sound. Would be good to have a helpscreen showing controls. Good job!

Loved the music and graphics. The day-night cycle was really cool, the stars popping up at night my favourite part of it :) Somehow both funny and sombre, well done.

This visually looks really nice. I didn't like how you cannot see what's coming on your way and which direction it is coming from in Single Player. Music is cool. Also sometimes the arm of character turns upside down. I think this could be a better game with more features, same graphic style and some changes on gameplay.

I know that you are already hard at work on the post-jam version. Adding some sfx would be great. I would love to have something to do in-between waves, like kicking rattlesnakes, or maybe looking for ammo, cutting open cacti for water? I dunno. Great job!

I think the time between waves, is a little slow, but the gameplay is nice. The customization is also a nice touch.

Great mood brought by your work on backgrounds, characters and musics. However the gameplay seems slow and lacks a bit of interest at the current time.

Very nice entry, neat and moody ! It's quickly repeatitive but I like all the little details : the customization, the cycle day-night, the rain, bullets falling to the ground... I hope to see the shop soon to test better guns :)

Cool game and graphics. I included it in part 22 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/_5a2Oj9U9sk

Thanks very much to everyone that liked the music! I have loads more on my website.

Anyway:
Sorry I didn't get to stream your game, I ended up being quite busy over the past week. The game was great and well polished, but like other people have said it needs to be balanced a little better. I guess I could also compliment the music too ;D

Yeah, was pretty awesome... BUT, I really would have liked the opportunity to mix & match my pants and shirt in the customization phase ;)
