Let's make a game! Ebolite 12/07/14 (Sun) 23:23:42 No.22084

Our chance to get Ebola-chan in LD31 is slipping away.

Theme: Entire Game on One Screen

Open to ideas for the next 2 hours. No one will probably even come here in the next 2 hours. I can code and draw, probably will use music from Newgrounds ~~unless another Ebolite can contribute~~ (wishful thinking.)

What would you even want to do?

My first idea so far is Ebola-ball. Simply smashing the shit out of Zmapp tobacco plants with Ebola-chan's skull, using purple wangs to hit high shots in a 3D pong + breakout mash-up.

Second idea is a comfy game where you raise Ebola-chan, just a little desktop app where you feed her, play, bond, help her organize her skulls, power her up with faith, fight off PENIS-KUN, etc. Could add connectivity after the jam to have lolifights or something.

I like Ebola-chan raising sim. Alternatively, a vertical Ebola-chan helicopter game, or maybe an STG, where she slowly grows wangs and takes flight, from the depths of hell, eventually reaching the surface, then outer space and the heavens. An STG could feature a boss fight with Zmapp in space though.

Ebolite music obtained!

24 hours remain

I got a strange idea to make a danmaku design game where you help Ebola-chan spread Ebola copies and you're scored on the effectiveness of your pattern. Hopefully I can finish it in time.

It seems the second one would take more planning to be good, because there is some potential there

>Ebola-chan Raising Sim
>she has stats that determine her effectiveness in spreading her love
>playing various games with her will improve certain stats which in turn make her more effective as a virus
>practicing her flying makes her wangs grow and improves the distance over which she may travel while airborne
>some other game improves her chances of spreading through contact, up to 100%
>another game increases her resistance to treatment, and another improves the speed with which she kills
>at the end of each day, after you tuck her into bed and say goodnight, you turn on the news and see reports of her progress in infecting the world (a few headlines about where she has spread to, followed by the total number infected and the total number killed)
>Every time she decimates an entire country, she earns a new skull wearing some sort of costume headgear representing that country (you know, sombrero, turban, etc.) and they all have a certain special effect when 'equipped' (held in her hands). Decimating entire continents earns special skulls with more potent effects. All of her skulls appear in her room when not equipped; she talks to them like they're her friends, holds tea parties with them, basically treats them like stuffed animals. Every time she receives a new one, it's treated as a gift from you, and she thanks you for it: "Oh, thank you Anon! This one's adorable!", "Wow, a new skull! I've been looking for one just like this! Thank you so much!" and so on.

Samefriend, adding to that:

>another game increases her resistance to treatment

Battle game against a 'boss' representing a vaccine. These bosses become stronger each time, so you may need to improve her other stats in order to stand a chance.

Failing any game you play with her causes a certain number of infected individuals to be cured, slowing your progress and potentially leading to a game over if the spread of Ebola is halted completely.

Good end is triggered by killing off the entire human population of the world (at which point, based on whether you've completed some sort of bonus objective or not, you'll either be the last victim and spend your last moments in Ebola-chan's embrace, or it will be revealed that you've developed an immunity and can live out the rest of your days with her.
