LudumData

Genesis 1 (God Simulator Procedually Generated) by Ausstein

[raw]
made by Ausstein for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

Did you ever want to create a world?

Cover.jpg

A world where there are mountains that look like gems, forests made out of Swords and houses patrolling the area? Well you can even grow patches of will smith.

Please share your screenshots (F12 will place screenshots in the data folder)

Grab 20191008002959 w690h512 x-70y35z63r48.jpg

The "Let there be light" and "Create animal" options take a lot of computation and might freeze the game for some seconds.

It was fun to create different worlds, because every single one is unique. Nice idea, even when loading took some time.

I have never though I was going to be able to rule a leopard print land with lakes and beaches of Will Smith, but this helped fulfill a dream I didn't know I had. I plan to rule it in piece for there is no war.

@helen @bionicsonic @bredera
Thank you for all the kind words
Please share some screenshots I'd love to see all your worlds :D

It's a fun concept that really nails the theme. I had a fun time creating weird fun stuff, would have loved to be able to do more with the world I created but don't you always want more of the good stuff?
🎤 Ausstein

@glowt I worked solo this time, so what I could do was limited. Therefore, generating the world was the priority.
If I had more time I would have added some interactions with the world :)

Interesting concept! However it runs a bit slow on my computer when I click generate. Great work!

Looool I had fun because of how silly it is :D However, there is no gameplay per se, so it is more of an 'interactive experience', which fits the theme nevertheless. Not much can be said here.
🎤 Ausstein
08. Oct 2019 · 17:03 UTC
@siarhei-pilat Isn't every game an 'interactive experience’ :D
But I know what you mean. Going for high points in humor and theme this time ;)

A forest of Ice golems with Will Smith mushrooms is all we need. I had some performance issue dued to the amount of will smiths but I like the interface and the way you choose to configure your creation.

Goodjob on the game, fun to try out different combinations. But some of the combinations had my computer go through the roof :D

Nice game, but crash my pc when i'll create the animals. My pc is not good.

@manomeu It might get unresponsive, in that case you just have to wait a bit longer, but it should work eventually

Ahaha that was fun, i would like to upload some own textures to make it more replayable.

This might be the weirdest game I've ever played, congratulations! The concept is really fun. The only thing I would change is the text font, It's quite difficult to understand it (being non native speaker).
🎤 Ausstein
09. Oct 2019 · 21:39 UTC
@asterisk That was actually my main concern. I asked some people for feedback before the deadline and they said that actually having a biblical font fits the game so well that its worth the tradeoff in readability. So I left it in, but thank you for the feedback :)

If somebody told me this morning that I would end up giggling because "my Will Smith's were blowing in the wind"... I would never have believed them.... until Genesis 1.

How you ever seen a House roam free? I have.
Have you ever seen Jaguar beach? I have.

This was a cool little concept that really took me by surprise when I was able to click "Explore" and go venturing around my creation (read: abomination).

Cool idea.

10/10 mountains of will smith

I was waiting to be able to explore my world, that was good. The font, though hard to read, really brought it together as a cohesive narrative.

@nachtwitch Had to make sure will smith looks as great as possible;)

I didn't know I needed plains of will smith and wolves and roaming houses. 6/5 stars for humor. From an actual gameplay perspective also very cool though if you could have this kind of choice when generating like a minecraft world, it could be very very cool. Great entry, had me laughing very hard

An interesting simulation, it would have been good if you could do more and some music would certainly not go a miss but certainly an interesting concept, and one which fits well with the theme. Good job!

Humor 10/5, this was hilarious. Kinda wish there was more to do in the beautiful world I created.
I wanted to feed my houses and cyclops. Pick Will Smiths up so that I could make a bouquet or get lost in the ice trolls forest. Really nice job with this game :D

Yeah, better not add humans they're not worth the trouble for the world I created, with plenty of lava and Will Smiths XD.

What did I just play? lol definitely the most unique game I've seen so far this jam. Lots of points for humor and theme. The Will Smith heads killed me 😂 It'd be nice if you could interact with the world you create but this is definitely a creative submission. Good job!

A very nice genesis!

Lovely experimental game.

The dropdowns were a bit glitchy but nothing really that bugged me greatly.

Good work. I couldn't figure out where the screenshot ended up so I took my own.

Overall I like the game. The concept is really different from what I saw in the jam. It fits very well with the theme, congrats.

At first I was disappointed "Ugh, another god creating stuff simulator". But then you allowed me to create a world where the mountains where will smith, the trees were swords and the living creatures were houses! My mind was blown! I could not stop laughing, I had to replay the game at least another five times to mix all those weird options! So much creativity, amazing work!

Highly amusing and entertaining. There's not much to do other than experiment with different wacky combinations, and the generated worlds feel surprisingly small, though I'm guessing if they were any bigger, they'd take even longer to generate than they already do.

My sister is a massive Will Smith fan so I *have* to show her this game and see what she thinks :joy:

My first world was kind of weird, my second world was absolutely insane, and then just like how in GTA sometimes its nice to drive like a sensible person, for my third world I tried to calm down. Except then I noticed that 'houses' were a creature option. So I had a sensible world with houses roaming free. 5/7.
