LÖVE

I decided to use Love for the first time at last weekend's Toronto Game Jam. Here's some screenshots of what came of it:




It's a game where you start with a single seed, and genetic algorithms run which causes it to mutate into different things. When you see different types of flowers/bushes, it's because the original genetic data has mutated over generations.

Could you upload here your .love file or link it to us?

Not quite yet -- there's a bunch of stuff we never had a chance to put in that we want to finish up before we put it up for public download. But it'll come.

That's sweet... löve this!
Reminds me of Taehl's Plant Game.

Love the art style. What are the game mechanics?

Right now, you pick up and plant seeds.

I actually have a full ground viability simulation in there, just didn't get a chance to hook it up. Also the genetics mutations are amped up to show the changes in a short time span. The game will be more about survival + nurturing a dead environment, starting from one seed and working your way up.

In the meantime, I made a vid capture of the game in progress so you can get an idea of what's going on:
