Friends in the Apocalypse
How to play ?
ENG: Only the mouse is used in this game.
Animals
All the animals are the same, it's only cosmetics. I would have enjoyed them being different in another way, but it's a game jam game, not a full-fleshed experience, so please don't mind this too much !
• Cats
• Dogs
• Foxes
• Wolves
Foods
There are three kinds of food, but it's also just cosmetics. Feed your pet before his "Hunger" stat is full !
Accessories
Change the look of your animal using those ! You can only have one equipped at the same time.
Stats
When you click on your pet, his "Love" stat will increase. You can only pet him once every 15 seconds.
When you click on food in your inventory, the "Hunger" stat will decrease by 2. Every time you explore (using the map), your pet will be more hungry...
Exploring and Searching
Every location, you can search one time (using the eye). Choose a tile. If you have luck (or know where to search), you will find food or accessories for the pet. You can also choose to explore using the map.
Never ending
This game does not end. You can play for as long as you want (or find it fun at least). If your pet runs away (because his Hunger stat was full and his Love stat not full enough), you will find another pet.
What is this game ?
ENG: This game was created for Scratch Game Jam #18. The theme was “Never Ending”. There was also a ban-list : The vast world (The game has to display different backgrounds), anyone can be a hero (The character sprite and stats have to change somehow) and Conservation of energy (Infinite upgrades are banned).
I don't really know why my brain immediately thought of a survival pet care game when reading the theme. Maybe because I enjoy the idea of creating pet games. But I somehow made it work with the theme. I wanted to do way more backgrounds, but I did not have enough time to do them all. There are a lot of sprites already, it was quite time-consuming. I was not concerned by the infinite upgrade ban, but I did an inventory system with only five slots, just to be safe. I made the stats and sprite random for the last ban.
It's the first time I use Scratch. I mean, I used it once at school. But at the time, I already knew how to code, so I did not enjoy Scratch all that much. Years later, I saw people using Scratch to do really pretty and fun games, so when I saw this game jam, I had to try using it too. Honestly, I'm surprised by how much this little thing can do. It was really fun. The only annoying part was debugging. I was short on time, so sadly, there was no time to play around with sounds and music. It would have made the game way better... It's fine haha.
