A very late post-jam update of my first ludum dare entry

It's been more than a year already when I first joined Ludum Dare. So I decided to overhaul my LD 38 entry Statera.

Before I still can't create my own 3d assets so I joined the jam. The entire game looked ridiculous back then. Now I changed the previous assets to my own design.

Major Changes:

Treant Seeds

The bullets are now treant seeds. They have a 55% chance of spawning a treant. I did this because some of the feedback I received back then said that the controls felt arbitrary. Now they have their own more specific purposes.

Outline

No one actually asked for this but it helps you see the other entities on the other side of the planet.

Two Worlds

The first world is normal level. It only includes treants and carabaos

The second world is hard level. It includes treants, carabaos, and astrals. You need to last 5 minutes on the normal difficulty to unlock this.

Smaller World

I made the world smaller to make the game easier and to prevent performance throtling.

This is also to give the players more control over the species, since rapid population growths are now on a smaller scale.
