Since fleas are the central focus of the game, you have to go the extra mile in terms of visuals. I&#8217;m pretty happy with the results. Now it&#8217;s a matter of sitting back and letting them multiply..you can&#8217;t control these beasts.. f*** cockroaches, they eat crap off the floor.. fleas are all about taking your lifesource away..the blood. vampires of the insect world. doesn&#8217;t get any more evil than that.<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kowia.com\/flea.swf\">flea prototype<\/a><\/p>\n <p>You&#8217;ve seen one&#8230; but once you learn about the reproductive rate of a zombified flea.. you are going to begging for a slow ass zed in your nightmares. Takes a zombie forever just to walk across a yard, but by the time a zombie flea has bit you and jumped to the next victim.. there&#8217;s a dozen eggs laying around. I think the zombification like beefs up fertility. go figure. George Romero didn&#8217;t tell you about that shit, cause he knew you needed sleep.<\/p>\n <p>I might eventually break out some 3d fleas after the competition. Just not sure the game engine can handle all the triangles i&#8217;d need to push these babies through the graphics pipeline!<\/p>\n <div id=\"attachment_45809\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2011\/04\/29\/flea-bitten-flea-prototype\/bunker_4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-45809\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/bunker_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45809\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/bunker_4-300x218.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/bunker_4.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">prototyping a zombified flea takes patience.  handled with care...<\/p><\/div>","time":"April 29th, 2011 11:19 pm","title":"Flea Bitten \u2013 Flea Prototype"}
