ORGANISM
by Metalgearac!d / Acid

Info:
I started this project BEFORE FredFredrickson started Evolites but I dropped it after I lost motivation to keep programming on it because I had only been using GML for a month. Then I wanted to learn how to use primitives and made this as my first try at even using them. I'm glad I remembered this game.

By the way, I did not copy FredFredrickson's game! If I was influenced by any game it would be Battlefield01's (I think that's his name) Genetic Pool. It is way better than my game and Fred's.

If you need to learn how to play or what to do go to the "Help" section of the main menu.

*I did a bugfix and got two different hosts. (64digits should be stable now.)

I found the controls to be mostly unresponsive

[Killpill]

I loved it.

[metalgearac!d]

I fixed the only problems I could find and reuploaded it so everything should work fine now.

@DarkFlame and killpill28: Thanks.

[DavidX]

It takes a while to get used to it, but I like it anyways.

[RazgrizInferno]

Wow... guess what I thought the title said...

Anyway, this looks good. I'll Download.

[metalgearac!d]

@DavidX: Thanks.

@RazgrizInferno: I know what you thought it said. >_>

What is the radiation and prey levels supposed to do? I couldn't see anything happening when I hit the appropriate buttons.

[metalgearac!d]

High radiation levels makes your organisms "evolve" more rapidly than lower levels. Infact you will probably get the same organisms over and over an hour later if you set it to the lowest.

Prey levels set the maximum amount of prey allowed in the pond - so if you want to have your organisms eat or starve it's your decision.

[spikeesam]

Your right, Genitic Pool is by far better than Evolites, shame that it never left WIP stage. Your game, however, gives GP a run for its money!

[metalgearac!d]

Wow, thanks! I'm really hoping to start Organism 2 in a while. Then the game will actually be worthy of comparing to GP.

I'm sorry to say I didn't really like it.

The music was a bit too chill for me.
I think the creature's move too fast. I just couldn't follow what was going on.
Also I think there is too little interaction with the player.

Also when I wanted to exit the game I couldn't exit because the menu didn't respond.

However I would like to give a big A for effort. I like these evolution kind of games. I wish people would make more. If there will be a part 2 I will check it out and hope It rocks my socks. (or something like that)

Gameplay: 4/10
Graphics: 7/10
Music: 6/10

Total: 6/10

[metalgearac!d]

Hrm... I'm confused because the menus all work for me. O_o


I'll try to add more interaction in the sequel when I start on it. Also, thanks for all of the constructive criticism because I really needed some. I want to make this game way better!

Link Doesn't Work, Give A New Host:
- Please... (Because, This Sound' So Awesome)!!

[vaaern]

please can someone put it somewhere else then 64digits, it doesn't work

[SunTzus]

@RazgrizInferno:
Are you implying the word O*GASM
ahaha, just had to say it....

Anyway, I really look forward to seeing this open source b/c I am sure it is well commented, still an Open Source IS an Open Source...

SO, when I clicked download it just leads to the Will Host For Food Image, then I went to 64Digits, but the site has a MYSQL error... thus, I am at a loss

I think you should fix that boi, both of your hosts are messed up
