Lonely is a game where you have to find your match. Your character attributes are randomly chosen and you are placed in a small town with other random people. Only one of them is your match (exact same attributes as you but opposite gender). You must find your match in time before you accept your fate and fall to the loneliness. Each time you find your match you start over with a new character and more people populate the town. Make it as long as you can before you fall to the loneliness.

Lonely is finished! My entry to Ludum Dare 38. First night was a bit rough. I couldn't come up with a concrete idea and played around with a planet building/managing game but eventually settled on a sort of 'Were's Waldo' type game. My goal was to make a game that was totally random with a exponential difficulty spike and I am pretty sure this satisfies that. Starting population of the town is 3 people, and each level it goes up 3 so it can get pretty populated by level 10. Because it is infinite you can and will run into fps issues since Unity's path-finding system isn't totally optimized for massive amounts of actors but I am happy how easy it was.

I got random room generation complete! The room generation (and game for matter of fact) is seeded. So you are able to share the seeds with your friends to play the same rooms!

As for the gameplay, I am not ready to share just yet, but my idea is pretty cool!

Previously I showed off my random room generator. I spent all day getting the room to fill up with "props" (aka programmer cubes) and made the drone controls and the AI for the robo-vacuum!

You must fly around the room picking up batteries to feed the vacuum. Or pick up the toys so the vacuum doesn't get jammed. If you crash or the robo-vacuum runs out of battery, game over!

Now starts the art part and polishing!

I am excited to finish my game for this jam! It was a tough but fun experience even if I only do them once every few years.

Anyways, here is "My Friend Vac"! Keep your friend Vac, the robot vacuum, charged up by feeding it batteries with your drone! Toys will get clogged in the machine and will drain batteries at an accelerated speed.
