Hey, thanks for viewing the post! This is my first full game project and also my first attempt at Python in the GE. Wish me luck!
Title eatPLANET
Type Casual Estimated Release Mid-November
Story
Some hooligan aliens from a neighboring galaxy have decided your home planet needs to be destroyed and they’re going to do it in the most logical way possible…that’d be by implanting a brainwashing device in one of the local wildlife (that’s you), causing it to eat uncontrollably of course. If all goes to plan, the brainwashed creature will eat and eat until it eats the entire planet. They’ll just have to cross their fingers that their experimental brainwashing hardware doesn’t malfunction before the planet is completely destroyed.
Gameplay
You have five (5) minutes to eat everything on the planet. In the beginning, you’ll only be able to eat small objects like fruits. The more you eat, the larger you become and the larger the objects you’ll be able fit in your mouth. Every object has a point value; a few points for an apple, a few thousand points for eating the whole tree in one bite. Try for the highscore by eating everything in sight or plan out a strategy to finish off the entire planet.
Status
Core Gameplay: 90% - still need to write the timer and highscore saving
Modeling (Character) 60% - may need some help with the armature
Modeling (World) 25% - a lot more props to add (trees, flowers, fruits, shrubs, clouds, suggestions?)
Thanks

Notes
Those are tall mushrooms in the screenshot, not tiny ugly trees… =)

props for having a good sense of humor. You could certainly add humans and gas stations and cars that have lots of carbon emissions. Then you could make a statement or something. I’d suggest 5 (sir?) 3 other types of monsters.
OF course, this doesn’t rid the fact that you should also add more variations to your already modeled models. 5 (sir?) 3 is the magic number.
Thanks for the responses guys. Progress is slow but steady. Mid November might be a bit ambitious to get a demo up. I’m going to want to spend a good deal of time balancing out objects/level points to ensure advancement is fun but challenging.
@PlanetKiller
Haha, i guess so. Except instead of build a giant “stuff ball” you just get really fat.
@Josip
Just one to start, but my set up should be easy to expand.

I’m definitely adding man-made props because just a variety of trees, rocks, and fungi aren’t interesting enough for me.
I tried to do something like this before. Well, not really like this, but more like a game where you eat things and evolve into something larger, while avoiding the things larger than you. Anyway this game sounds cool, and hope you have more luck than I did.
