For more Lovecraftian rat inspiration, try the story, The Rats in the Walls.

Cheers. I'll read it tonight. I think I've read it already, but cannot remember it. The Wiki page has already given me some good clues as to which Old One is best for calling rats to wipe out humanity.

(That is, I assume there will be munching and screaming and blood...)

Yes.

Ooh, I just had an idea as far as new rats spawning.  How about there are trash cans and sewer grates and stuff around the level, and when your swarm "levels up" the new rats spawn there and run to join the group?  Like they're heeding the call of the Rat God or whatever.

That'll do nicely as a spawning method! Thanks!

Your game concept is good so far. Please up the weirdness. How will you get a Ratking?

Spent the evening working on a tile set for Arkham:



If anyone wants an old-style city at 32x32px for their projects as well, let me know.

This tileset is quite pretty, but I think the front of the buildings look quite plain compared to the rest of the tileset which is nicely detailed.
I really like how you added the reflections on the stone from the lampposts.

Yeah, maybe you should dirty-ify the buildings, since, well, hundreds of rats are running around :D

Hey-ho, thanks for the feedback guys! I havn't had much time to work on the game this week, and won't for the coming week either.

I have however finished the Arkham tileset, since it's something I can work on without having to use my brain:





There's still a few issues, but it's good enough for the current purposes. If anyone wants to use it that bottom png is the full set, so go right ahead.

Another Katamari Remake game? YAY!!!!!!!!! Ohh. I just noticed that they don't grow without playing the game. maybe you should make them grow.

I think you should also make the rats able to go inside and up and down stairs and ramps. they should also be able to jump off ledges, but not climb up them. Time to actually play!

Oh they do grow. anyways, make diffrent kinds of people!

the tileset is awesome and the latest demo is very pretty, you could make the people run around and then maybe add something that kills the rats, like rat killing people wearing a blue uniform (and maybe the only way to kill them is running over them very fast)

This was one I was watching from early on.  I'm sad to see it didn't make it in time.
