LudumData

God's Paw by Team_Souris

[raw]
made by Team_Souris for LD 38 (JAM)

A massively multiplayer game, with foxes and gods!

You start as a little fox in one of the two teams, and you have to gather enough food for your team to produce soldiers.

To gather food, you must stay on your portion of the world to claim it for your team, and then you can pick the produced food just by walking over it. Bring back the food to the Townhall!

Click the Townhall to consume your team's resources to turn yourself into a better farmer, then a soldier, then a knight. Eventually, with all resources needed, you can turn into a Fox God, and punish the other team with all your mighty wrath!

Conquer all territories needed to claim the opponent team's Townhall, and your team wins.

Realy nice grafics, but perhaps add 1-2 simple AI's per team so the server can run with 1 person, otherwise it hase the fate of so many online only multiplayer games, that no one is on the servers :(

So i choud only get a small playtime in but it's realy fun.

Hey there! Me, my team-mate and one other random person just played this at the same time. I am totally amazed how you guys made the effort to make your submission an online game!
Playing it was really fun and I found the game mechanics to be really intuitive as well as easy to understand.

Of course the game is a bit unbalanced with 3 players, for a Ludum Dare this is totally understandable but for a post jam version there has to be some form of AI for balancing! I think I could even see me playing a full version of this. The problem you will always have as a small dev team is to get started and have enough people playing it at the same time, because people right now would tend to just instantly log out when nobody else is around.

As other people have said, AI players would be a good addition to this, since it's hard to get a group together otherwise.

Aside from that, the graphics are quite good, it's funny, and the theme usage is pretty good. This reminds me of RTS games, just with players controlling units instead of AIs.

Your character sprites are super adorable! The gameplay works pretty well, but I think you should add a tutorial. It took me a while to figure out how to actually use the resources you collect.

By bad luck I could not match anybody to play ... As they said it would be nice to add some NPCs

Anyway very cute and good graphics and correct gameplay

The game looks amazing. Visual stylization with that parallax effect and light rays are great! The game feels alive and it took me a while until I realized that there isn't walking animation. Armor upgrades look cool too.

I can imagine the gamplay could be fun too, it's a pity that there aren't any players. Maybe you could write a post here on LD, that you have a multiplayer game and that the players can play the game with developers for next hour of more :slight_smile:

Thanks for the feedback! There WERE a lot of players, y'know, the day the LD ended, and when judging should've started...
We made a few messages everywhere we could all through a few days, but it only lasts a few hours every time. Also we're French, so judging started at an awful time for us (3AM on a Monday when you work full time, yeah right)
