PIXEL PICNICS GONE AWRY: HEATHER KELLEY/RENAUD BéDARD’S STIMERGY
Just released by Kokoromi’s Heather Kelley and Polytron programmer Renaud Bédard: Stimergy, the product of a recent Bivouac Urbain 36 hour game jam. As you never would’ve guessed from the screen above, Stimergy is a game of ants played out in retro-future style, where your goal is to lay down traces of attracting and repellent pheromones to guide your colony to food, and away from antlion traps, and its bloom-lit tracers make it far more mesmerizing than you’d imagine.
Taking a cue from Petri Purho, Bédard’s also just published a time-lapse video of the development process, showing, again, that even under the 1.5 day pressures of completing a game, no one can resist the siren song of Facebook.
Read more about the development and Bédard’s postmortem, and download the game, via his blog The Instruction Limit. [via Heather]
