GMTK2022 - The Island: the vagaries of nature
GMTK Game Jam 2022 Submission
Theme: The Roll of the Dice
You have to create a good place to live, but the vagaries of nature will give you a hard time.
Each tile has a population and a growth factor that you can see if you move the cursor over it, if the cursor is not on a tile, you can see the overall population of the island. Each turn the population increases (depending on the type of tile), but also each turn an event occurs, sometimes it's nothing, sometimes it's a good event, but most of the time it's a disaster! The event affects a tile according to its type and its 4 neighbors. The goal is to have the largest population at the end, have fun?
Commands
Arrows: directions
C: validation
X: cancel (when it is possible)

I got 15788 points in the end. It's a nice little Island creator, sufficiently random, even if it gets repetitive playing it all the way through. Really cool that this could be done with the Pico 8 though.
Thanks, yes indeed the gameplay is too repetitive. I have a lot of ideas for new features but I was alone to develop everything so ^^'
Yeah. Not getting in all the features you want can be disappointing, but you got the game out, which is more than some can say.
