Topic: General Gaming / Rebuild: Tips, Strategies, Etc

One thing that may make this easier for you guys is something I noticed recently…… The status of bordering territories is frozen when a mission is taking place there. They will not gain any zombies. So, I recently experimented with starting missions constantly and canceling them halfway through. You’ll need one person for every bordering territory, but it seems to kinda work in holding things to a reasonable level.

Quick note, though. The zombies will increase the same no matter how many bordering territories you have open. It’s just that the max zombies on one square will get reached a lot faster for where you aren’t doing missions. An easy way to see this occurring is to to conquer all zones except for one in the corner of the city. Then wipe out all the zombies and wait one turn.

The zombies will be back.

Topic: Kongregate Labs / Controller support??

Heh! Reminds me of one where the menu was a mini flight sim. You just flew through the hoops you wanted to go to, shot controls to toggle them, etc…. Was hilarious.

Topic: Kongregate Labs / Unity Contest - Update game version ?

Not that they all will. At the rate things are going, about half won’t have the plays or ratings required to be eligible by the time the contest deadline comes up. (Mine Included)

Didn’t expect such a lack of interest by the community, but I guess it makes sense when none of the contest submissions are featured anywhere visible unless they’re in the top 5 or so.

Also, the new Unity games allow for full controller usage. I’ve gotten a few to work easily with a joystick or gamepad.

Topic: Kongregate Labs / Great FPS game that needs your help!

Well, nothing can be changed from now on, so I guess I might as well throw my game into the mix. You like flying a spaceship? Fly it through an obstacle course!

Ran out of time before I finished Joystick support, but mouse and keyboard work ok.

Topic: Kongregate / Unity web player games suck!

@Andrea_S: Most definitely. I only found out about the competition about two weeks before the deadline, so I’m really happy with what I ended up with, considering I had to do all the art and programming myself.

So long as it does fair to middling, I don’t see why it couldn’t keep getting better. (Well, after the contest is judged and I can upload new versions again)

Topic: General Gaming / Rebuild: really the best game on kongregate ??

Games are well-rated because they’re noticed by the community. Seems to me that anything featured in the top five for the weekly or monthly contests gets an instant boost in ratings, and that games that are rated soon after release do better than games that have been around longer.

It’s a simple fact: Popularity doesn’t necessarily reflect quality, and the stars are more a reflection of popularity.
