• Blanket the Earth: A game about planting trees and making babies
    6 replies, posted
Hey! This is a game I worked on for the latest Ludum Dare. I did the programming, animation, and some of the 3D modeling while two of my friends worked on art. I decided to work on it further on and off for a few days after Ludum Dare to polish it up a bit. Here's the release trailer that I made: [video=youtube;rmR18Q-DtIQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmR18Q-DtIQ[/video] [quote]Blanket the Earth is a game about planting trees and making babies. It was made over the course of three days for Ludum Dare 26. The world is an empty canvas! You'll need to make it beautiful by planting trees, grass, flowers and such. Watch out for the mole monsters that live underground, they hate trees and will break yours down if you leave them unattended. Luckily, they're afraid of humans (even babies!) and that's where the guy comes in. Make the world beautiful enough and he'll be more than happy to make babies with you to protect your trees.[/quote] You can play it on Kongregate: [url]http://www.kongregate.com/games/EricTheCoolDude/blanket-the-earth[/url] Or you can download it at [url]http://blankettheearth.reallyhandsomepeople.com/[/url] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/shj4bHq.gif[/IMG]
The moles should have been more aggressive. You can plant trees in a circle around you, and the moles won't ever come close to you. Makes things a little easy...

I think something is really wrong with me, because for some reason, every time the phrase "make babies" occurred in the title and the OP, I read it as "make dead babies." And for some reason I read "they're afraid of humans (even babies!)" as "they're afraid of humans (even dead ones!)" Then I was really confused when I watched the trailer. And even more confused when I took a second look at the thread. What the fuck is wrong with me I just straight-up hallucinated [b]a lot[/b] of words.
I find the notion of having an obscene amount of children with some guy you don't even know kinda macabre.
