Flowers and Bees by Tod Semple

[raw]
made by Tod Semple for Ludum Dare 51 (EXTRA)

Your friend the bear came over for some honey. You were on your last jar of honey. Let's go to the garden and make some more!

My daughters (age 6 and age 9) did most of the art and lots of the design. It's sketched on paper and colored in Photoshop.

I spent about 27 hours working on this game. So that's a bit more than a jam game. I also spent a fair amount of time brainstorming so it's not really a fair to compare it to a jam game. Working over 3 weeks works much better with my busy life.

I used a new game engine that I'm tinkering on. It hasn't been tested on many computers so let me know if you have any problems. I bet it needs some system DLL installed. Update: The competition is over, but I got the emscripten html build of my game working and embedded it.

Hi! I'm on Windows 10 and it says I need VCRUNTIME140_1D.dll

I downloaded the file from https://www.dll-files.com/vcruntime140_1d.dll.html and the game ran, but quit because it said abort() was called.

I was worried it would need the vc runtime installed. Ug. The abort probably means my code is busted looking for something on your system. Sorry!

I got the emscripten html version of my game working and embedded it on this page. I just got it working, so it didn't make it in time for the competition. The resolution is lower then I design it for and I'm not scaling the images well so it doesn't look quite right.
