Life Alive Updates

I want to thank everyone who played, ranked, and commented on my multiplayer game Life Alive. It was so much fun to build, and I was pleasantly surprised to rank 28th in Innovation 28th and 30th in Theme for my first LD jam!

Based on feedback and me finding a few bugs after the jam, I've made some updates to the code (which I'm declaring as version 0.9.1):

  • Fixed server to regenerate the board after 300 generations (so the board doesn't die out completely over time)
  • Added a transition between moves so you can easily see what direction you're moving in
  • Added small death melody
  • Fixed issue where unnamed players were showing empty string instead of "Guest" in event log
  • Fixed bird's eye view camera orientation (it was upside-down)
  • Fixed issue when connecting and simply watching bird's eye view without first joining the game
  • Lowered the sound effects volume
  • Added version number to splash screen

Feel free to join in and play at any time! Be sure to invite a friend or ten so you won't be lonely.
