48 Hour Game Jam: Follow The Leader

  

 

 

All of your followers love you unconditionally. You can do no wrong. Your job as Leader of your very own cult is to extract as much love as possible from your followers. Use their unconditional love to build a statue to your own glory!

My Role on Follow the Leader:
I designed and implemented the entire game from scratch in 48 hours!

  • Statue construction mechanics that require you to experiment with mixing and matching your Leader powers to generate enough resources of each type to build your desired statue.

  • Previously built statues are saved and appear in the background behind your current statue and serve as a reminder of your previous cult’s successes.

  • Parallax scrolling allows you to view all your old statues in the distance as well as look around at your current one and your followers.

  • Created unique Leader powers that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of interactions between your followers. Carry, throw, squish, burn, crush, trample, transmogrify, love bomb, and reincarnate your willing followers! 

  • Created a dynamic NPC dialogue system that caused your followers to respond to their surroundings, your actions, and the actions of their fellow followers.

  • Created an animation system that allowed for behaviors to be mixed and matched.

  • Create a unique game intro that has you execute a follower in a variety of ways to acquire their love.

  • Several reviews were posted on youtube, with one accumulating over 350k views!

  • After the game jam, several quality of life features and new Leader powers were added.

The easiest way to make your followers love you is with fire. Fire that burns with your red hot, all knowing love.

What happens when you need to love someone with fire but also turn them into coins? They turn into a burning rocket of love that explodes into coins, of course! Those guys in the front row sure are enjoying the fireworks.

Sometimes your followers need some high-impact loving. We can throw some bulls or meteors at them. If you hit them just right, they'll get tossed high into the sky!

Our follower returned to the earth from his brief trip into the heavens. He landed with a lot of love. Did I mention that meteors set nearby followers on fire, if they don't splat on the ground when they land, that is.

Being a Leader is a tough job. It can get pretty hectic out there. Just remember, there is no problem you can't solve with a little love. Painful, burning, deadly, exploding love.
