Schrodinger's Egg



There's an egg in there. Or is there?

what if the one in the bottom left was an upgrade you could buy, a chickenegg that walked around randomly and collected eggs for you if it happened to walk over them
Hadn't thought of that, interesting idea!

didn't have any lag problems until i hit this point. well over a hundred chickens laying eggs, and let them pile up for a minute before it slowed down at all :yayclod:
TY for the valuable stress test info

Hmm maybe! So far I have kinda been just copying the mechanics of Insaniquarium. I know, I know, it would be interesting to try doing original things, but that is not how my brain works. I'll keep it under consideration though.

Here is my plan as far as gameplay goes:
-ADD CHICKEN HUNGER & CORN
-A corn kernel costs 1 egg
-Chickens have 4 states: full, hungry, very hungry, and dead. (full & hungry look identical, very hungry has like a green tinge to it, dead is upside down with x's in the eyes, then disappears after a while)
-When chickens are hungry or very hungry, they will walk toward any corn close to them, then eat it. (Maybe PM would be nice enough to do a pecking animation?)

-Add the new eggs that have been submitted, also add Kief Richard's butthole drawing to the game somewhere, also add candeggcorn which I forgot to add before

-I think I will probably want to add an item like "Bag of corn" that contains 20 corn kernels which you can scatter around, so that you don't have to continuously click the "corn" button when your economy kicks off

-Need to fix the bug where if you pick up 2 eggs at the same time it only counts 1 of them

-ADD COLONEL SANDERS ATTACKING PERIODICALLY
-He'll move around, basically killing all chickens and eggs he touches
-Your cursor turns into an aiming reticule and you fire eggs by clicking in his direction
-I'd like to add him getting tougher as the game goes on; it would be especially cool if his difficulty scaled depending on how well you were doing, so that he was never too easy nor too tough
-Maybe he'll have visual upgrades, like shoulder mounted cannons
-Maybe the player character has health and can die if it takes too much damage? Not sure how bullet hell to make this

-At this point, I could simply have a "ANTI-SANDERS LASER" button that costs 100 eggs or something, and make it so that you win the game when it's purchased. (Or, make it so that it transitions to "posting smiling"'s starfox game when it's purchased.)

HOWEVER, I think it would be cooler, if the win-the-game button costs fossils instead. "How do you get fossils?" you ask. Well, they are simply dropped periodically by dinosaurs, a unit which costs 20 eggs and periodically consumes chickens to survive.

Then there would be a shop owned by Charles D'Egg, which sells the following permanent upgrades, accepting fossils as the currency.

5 fossils - FERTILIZATION - Sometimes eggs hatch into chickens
10 fossils - LIFE FINDS A WAY - Sometimes eggs hatch into dinosaurs
10 fossils - DRUMSTICKS BLAZING - A grizzled chicken with nothing to lose joins your cause to fight Colonel Sanders
10 fossils - SENIOR PRANK - Some punk-rear end students planted corn in your lawn. Corn regularly grows out of the ground to feed your chickens.
80 fossils - ANTI-SANDERS LASER - The ultimate weapon to take down the Colonel, once and for all.

What I like about the "dinosaur" unit is that it would force you to have a balanced economy. You'll want to have fossils to buy those sweet permanent upgrades; but if you get too many dinosaurs, you won't have enough chickens to feed them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So that's my general plan as far as the gameplay. There are other things I'll need, like environmental art and music, but those are more self-explanatory.

I hate to break it to you all filling your screen with chickens, but I'm gonna add a mechanic where you have to regularly feed your chickens, making it tough to maintain a population this big

Other topic: If you're wondering whether or not I'm still accepting eggs, the answer is yes! I'd especially love to see an egg from someone who is lurking this thread and hasn't submitted anything yet. That'd be hella cool

Corn has been added! This one was quite the puzzler to implement. The goal was as follows:

Each chicken has a hidden satiety meter that constantly ticks down
-When the meter is high, the chicken mills around
-When the meter is medium, there is some kind of visual queue that it's hungry, and it will move to the nearest corn (if one is close enough for it to see) and eat it. if it can't see one it mills around
-When the meter is low, the chicken dies

It's working pretty well! Just have a few bugs to iron out, then build 0.4 is coming.

Yeesh, only 2 days and 14 hours left in the jam? Better make these next parts quickly.

Can they turn into chiken wings when they die?

No, I don't know what you're supposed to do with the chiken wings. Maybe feed the dinosaur.

If it's not too late, I made a few more eggs.

:siren: https://blaise-rascal.itch.io/colonel-panic-demo :siren:

Okay here is update 0.4! New features:
-You can place corn, which decays over time!
-Chickens will go to corn and eat it if they're close and if they're hungry!
-Really hungry chickens will die!
-The environment looks nicer
-Added little UI buttons for:
----audio mute (a song has been made but I haven't added it yet)
----skipping the dialog
----pausing the game.

Haven't gotten around to adding the new eggs yet, but I will certainly do so.

There is still no winning state, so if you play it, just stop when you get bored I guess

Here's a new artistic challenge, if people are getting tired of making eggs:


The entire game takes place inside this white fence. But when the camera pans to the edges, it's possible to see beyond the fence to the rest of the grassy world. What is out there? I don't know. Maybe a house or a lake or something? It's up to you to draw what your imagination dictates! This challenge is optional, so if nothing comes to mind, don't sweat it.

Here's an idea; maybe some signs saying how to play the game? "WASD to move" "Place corn to feed chickens" etc.
