GIMP for the assets. Sadly there is no music or sound effects as I just couldn't find the time!\r\n\r\nThe premise was that you are a monster that is being hunted because you're just a downright terror. In order to get the best of your monster hunting nemesis you are disguised as a friendly forest spirit.\r\n\r\nThe hunter has resources by was of ammo for his shotgun, and durability for his pickaxe and machete. It may seem simple to guide the hunter to your lair, but doing so too quickly might have unintended outcomes.\r\n\r\nThe aim of the game, disguised as the friendly spirit, is to use all of the hunter's resources and still arrive at the lair. That was he is easy pickings and unable to hunt you. There are two fail states: you guide the hunter to the lair with resources remaining, and he is able to kill you. The other is using all his resources and leaving him stranded. The second scenario I didn't have time to actually detect the fail state as I was busy with other things.\r\n\r\nI would've liked to included more levels, but I didn't implement level switching soon enough, choosing to focus on other things that didn't work out. There was no time remaining when I was finally ready for it. New maps are trivial to add by hand if you are inclined to try out the game system: they're just .cfg\/.ini files with collision\/logic and graphics tables.\r\n\r\nI've only tested on one other system: an old Windows system with old integrated graphics and the graphics were garbled, seemingly being addressed incorrectly. This may be a limitation you experience on old hardware.\r\n\r\nNOTE TO LINUX USERS:\r\nThere are now 32-bit and 64-bit binaries. Neither has been tested due to being built on virtual machines but should work. If they fail to work please let me know in the comments below. The Windows version reportedly works under Wine.\r\n\r\nUpdate: Linux binaries removed for now. If I get a chance to debug and test I will re-upload.\r\n\r\nUpdate 2: The Linux crash bug turned out to be caused by loading the same font more than once in Pyglet. Easily fixable and would be permissible as a crash fix, but it turned out there was another game breaking Linux-only bug waiting to be discovered that would not be a permissible fix. So alas, the Linux version is to remain borked. Lesson learned for next time: periodic testing on Linux.\r\n\r\nNOTE TO OS\/X USERS:\r\nThere is now a 64-bit app for OSX. It is untested as it was built on a virtual machine but should work fine. Please let me know in the comments if it fails to run.","title":"Lure.Lair.Lunch"}
