Games [WIP] Bactolonize - Android (& iOS in the future); A game I'm making for a Game Contest...

NoctisShadowzel · Aug 6, 2019

This game started out as a side project, that I wanted to work on while thinking about story of my main project. But its originality made me believe I can win this contest that LionStudios are making with this idea. So I wanted to share my game idea, get feedback, improve it.

>Idea;

Game's goal is to make a bacteria cultur grow in your environment. Environment is a box, that you can tilt with accelerometer input. (By tilting your device, you tilt bacteria container box.) For now, there is 5 type of bacterias with different genetics. They have weaknesses, strengths and they have enemy or friendly relationships with other bacteria types.
Other than this, game is a make Hi-Score game. If you fill a bacteria container; you get extra points and game gives you another one. If it becomes empty; game over.

>A list of development goals and some other info about game;

*** BLUE: 0x0 <> BLACK: 0x1 <> WHITE: 0x1! <> RED: 0x3 <> PURPLE: 0x4
**********************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------
||| PURPLE: |||
---------------
>> spawned by <Blue, when there is |x_amount_PURPLE| they became colony
*** only can show survival abilities when Colonized.
>> when on <Black - capsules and destroys it.
>> when on <Blue - protects blue but disables re-generation. <Blue only
generates PURPLE.
>> can't (Capsulate) the white.
>> when on a paralyzed bacteria, puts both of <paralyzed and <White in
comatose.
>> when on others - protects them.
>> gets attacked by all types - excluding <Blue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
||| BLUE: |||
-------------
>> spawns randomly with interval of "t_spawn_BLUE".
>> in "t_evolve_BLUE" seconds, becomes fully evolved. When evolves,
starts; (Reproduction), (Mitosis) and (Re-generation).
>> attacks only to <Black. attacks made by arms at sides.
>> protected by *colonized <Purple
>> gets attacked by all type - excluding <Purple.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
||| BLACK: |||
--------------
>> spawns randomly with interval of "t_spawn_BLACK".
>> also gets spawned by another <Black.
>> in "t_evolve_BLUE" seconds, becomes fully evolves. When evolved,
starts; (Consuming), (Reproduction).
>> attacks/consumes all bacterias - excluding <White.
>> when consumes another bacteria, *including other BLACK, they spawn
another bacteria with %p_selection_chance_BLACK% of <Black, and remaining
percentage of <White.
>> gets attacked by all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
||| WHITE: |||
--------------
>> spawns randomly by chance of %p_alive_chance_WHITE% and with interval of
"t_spawn_WHITE".
>> also gets spawned by <Black.
>> in "t_evolve_WHITE" seconds, *relatively short evolving time, fully
evolves. When evolved, starts; (Paralyzing), (Dependent Existence)
>> paralyzes all bacterias - excluding <Black.
>> when paralyzed, other bacteria will stop all internal functions,
stay alive and only can move around.
>> when paralyzes a bacteria for "t_production_condition_WHITE" seconds,
starts (Quick Reproduction)
>> when quickly reproducting, spawns smaller versions of <White,
which does %50 of normal attack to the other bacterias - excluding <White &
<Black.
>> *** Chooses a target, moves to it. Don't have free-movement.
>> gets attacked by only <Purple and <Red.
>> when destroyed, all spawned *little <Whitelings also gets destroyed.
>> because of dependent existence, when the <Black that spawned them gets
destroyed they also gets destroyed in "t_last_survival_WHITE" seconds.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
||| RED: |||
------------
>> spawns randomly with interval of "t_spawn_RED".
>> in "t_evolve_RED" seconds, *relatively long evolving time, fully evolves.
When evolved, starts; (Phantom Touch), (Semi-Invulnerability), (Phantom Reach)
>> phantom reach lets RED to move in environment, pretty quickly.
>> phantom touch lets RED to pass through other bacterias and attack them
without stopping or getting harmed.
>> semi-invulnerability lets RED to be ONLY DAMAGED BY PLAYER.
*** Also 0xOr, freezes a <Red.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

**** Player Interaction and Liquids That Affect to Bacterias:
**********************************************************************
||| 0xG |||
-----------
>> When tilted to the Left; 0xG <> Lazarus' Eye Drop starts falling from
left side of the screen.
>> 0xG affects to;
<Black, <Blue, <White
>> Also, when tilted to the Left, *if isn't touching on a <Red, touch effect
shows 0xG Behaviour, too.

&&

||| 0xOr |||
------------
>> When tilted to the Right; 0xOr <> Cleansing Flames Touch starts falling
from right side of the screen.
>> 0xOr affects to;
<Purple, <Red, <White
>> Also, when tilted to the Right, *if isn't touching on a <Red, touch effect
shows 0xOr Behaviour, too.

&&

||| 0x0 |||
-----------
>> When touching on a bacteria, 0x0 <> Deaths Whisper affect the bacteria.
>> 0x0 affects all bacterias, especially effective on <Red.
>> Bacterias, other than <Red, have a %p_chance_of_instadeath% chance of
getting destroyed by 0x0.
>> Also, if a bacteria already survived a 0x0; it gains immunity.
>> Exclusively a <Red can't survive a 0x0. But a <Red's (Phantom Reach)
will help them to survive from a 0x0, because of their quickness.

(This was a NotePad note, sorry about weird stylizing )

>Here is a few drawings I did in two days, while shaping the idea. Assets will grow...

0xG and 0xOr liquids are just basic water drops. Didn't draw 0x0 yet, thinking about using Particle System for a good effect.
This basic bacterias have an evolving and idle animations, but I'm having problem with Aseprite's GIF export...

I will update this thread with my ideas, since 15 August is last day for submitting a game, I will work hard. I am looking for ideas, feedback from you. Right now I'm implementing game logic.

TY for taking time to read this ^. ^!

Do you seek a chance to way of your life, too? Is this the reason why you're in Game Development?

Yes, also that is the reason why I'm in Game Development.

Yes, I do. But that isn't the reason why I'm in Game Development.

No, I'm happy with the way my life goes!
