Spore is a 2008 life simulation real-time strategy God game developed by Maxis, published by Electronic Arts and designed by Will Wright, and was released for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.Covering many genres including action, real-time strategy, and role-playing games, Spore allows a player to control the development of a species from its beginnings as a microscopic organism, through. The $10,000 computer, on the other hand, featured advanced preemptive multitasking—which wasn't seen on the Mac until OS X in 2000—and dual built-in floppy disk drives.

(I slacked off during the jam and only made one level of the game so far.)

Made in 24 hours for #RemakeJam, a game jam where you remake your first game with the skills/tools that you have now. More info: RemakeJam

This game is a mashup of the first games I made (with ASCII-based graphics in the 1980's) and the first commercial game I made. Not that it makes for good game design, but pays homage to pieces from my different early games:

Adventure
  • My earliest games (2nd grade?) were just simple question/answer text-based games, sometimes with multiple choice. I still have the same problem of figuring out what to call a game. My first ever game was called 'QWERTY', and it's sequel was 'ASDF'. The third game was 'DEST'.
  • I soon learned how to use ASCII characters, and move them around the screen. I used the stranger extended ASCII characters as different monsters. For example, a Ç looks like a creature with a big mouth, while '¥' looks like a dragon to me. Thus was born the Monster Warriors trilogy of games, turn based games where you buy a team of monsters and fight against the other player's team of monsters, using D&D stats and rules. The first version was ASCII based. Later versions were vector based, and then pixel based. Unfortunately, the 5.25' and 3.5' floppy disks are long lost.
  • I originally wanted to remake 'RoomRomp' for this jam. It was an ASCII-based graphical roguelike game where you collect loot, fight monsters, and descend to deeper levels. It was one of my first games using QBasic, which was a huge improvement over GWBasic.
  • The robot character is a remake of BlockBot from my first commercial game, Bigbot Smash, available on IOS, from 2011. Back then I didn't know 3D modeling, so I created all the meshes in-game programmatically via Cocos3D and OpenGL. Ouch!

A nice challenging game! Didn't rage TOO hard. It took me 3 or 4 tries. Amazing what you can do in 48 hours.
