Because the technical name for a flock of crows is a "Murder" (I LIKE PUN TITLES OK.)

Here's what it looks like right now:

So this is a game... thing... I made for pyweek. It's not really quite a game yet, more like, uh, a crow simulator. It's pretty fun to play with, but I couldn't actually figure out how to make it into a game so I shelved it for a while. Anyway, I thought I'd revisit it and turn it into... something, since the core mechanic seems promising.

I think in terms of design it needs a few things:

  • Some sort of risk/reward mechanic
  • More verbs. Like right now all the crows can do is murder and crash into things. Maybe they could carry things? Maybe they could murder some, and rescue others?
  • Some sort of victory and loss conditions

There are a few aspects I want to keep from it's current incarnation though...

  • I like the fast pace and comical violence.
  • I like the weird movement animations

I think some other things on the todo list:

  • Make not ugly
  • Some sort of level editor

You needn't work on this. Smiley
