Tinyvilization <\/a>is a game where you plan a strategy to conquer a new tiny world. Unfortunatly you are not alone and an other settler will try to build cities over the world. The concept is inspired by the facebook game “Survivium” : you make an instruction list which is executed by your “unit” (a virus in Survivium, a settler in this game), and you watch how efficient (or not) your strategy is against another strategy in miror. Then ajust your strategy or find harder opponents !<\/p>\n

I first wanted this game to be connected to a server so that player can send his strategies and fight against other players strategies and have a leaderboard. Finally I just had time to implement an Import\/Export system which allow player to share a “strategy code”. Some strategy codes are exposed in my guide to build effective strategies<\/a> \u00a0to help player learn to play with great strategies.<\/p>\n

I planned a bit to much, but I could land on my feet and have what I wanted in time : overall, I have a fully playable game which allow asynchron players interactions that is graphically descent and really enjoyable once you know how to build a strategy.<\/p>\n

I used flexSDK and FlashDevelop only. The game is developed in pure as3. I wanted to use no library at all, I finally saved some time using minimalComps for NumericalStepper and TextField.<\/div>\n

Oh by the way, I did a timelapse !
