Theogenesis by Ixio
You are the last hope of your faith, keep it alive !

Tech used:
- Godot 3.2.1: game engine used to code and export to HTML5
Assets tech:
- Pinta: for the minimal (veering non-existant) graphics
- eSpeak NG: for audio effects (in particular
echo "City Converted" | espeak-ng -p 99 -g 12 -w assets/audio/conversion.wav) - LMMS: for the annoying music (hopefully a bit better than for LD42)
Comments:
This is my second game for Ludum Dare and pretty much ever. I didn’t spend nearly as much time on it as I’d liked but at least I have a complete game. It’s not very good and the music is pretty bad but it’s complete (in a very minimal-viable-product way). So I’m pretty happy with myself, this is a step in the right direction that will hopefully lead to better games in the future.

You are right about the game being currently bland : I think I would have added a highscore and army troops chasing you if I had managed to spend more of my weekend on this. I also had an idea about heritic factions spawning randomly from your convert, that would probably have worked a bit like your vilain idea.
Thank you for playing, your feedback and ideas :wink:.
@kidanger last time I used my own voice but espeak makes it so much simpler and faster :grin:, however robot voice isn't too great for this game : I was hoping they would have some more human-like voices but I didn't find one.
@cogcomp, @jabdownsmash as usual I had a lot of ideas that I didn't find time to implement. Maybe I'll try to make an expanded edition of this game later on :wink:.
@technosander haha I'm glad not everyone succeeds on the first try, you get to see my "You Lose" dialog.
@taffaz good feedback if I improve the game later on I'll definitely take your advice.
Thanks people for having tried it out and your kind comments :wink:
@jcourt yeah the music is a bit better than on my first jam but I should definitely take some time to figure out a way to make better music. I think I'll try to reword this and make it a better version, if I do : music is on the list !
@dan-thompson true a lot of people put that info in their entry page, that kind of information duplication doesn't hurt : I'll keep it in mind for my next jam ! :wink:
