If you want to understand why I built and released my own game, check out my blog post - "Gaming - For Fun and Exploration"
EvoWars [Current Release on Kongregate]
Background
EvoWars takes place in a distant part of the universe where three racial fractions have arose and fight for domination over various galaxies... as time passed, traditional weaponry evolved into heavy mechanized drones and then into Bionics.
Each race then began developing their own Biologic Avatars to colonize and conquer worlds using the newly discovered Aural-Metal technology. This material shaped and adapted to its environment, evolving over time, allowing for the factions to get stronger and stronger by defeating its enemies. These's Aural-MEtal Bio-Avatars (or AMEBAs) became the predominate weapon of choice as the wars continue to rage on where faction leaders possessed the mightiest AMEBAs.
You enter the scene as a new recruit for one of the three factions:
- the Brainiacs - race that has developed psionic abilities;
- the Gargants - a fierce race of gigantic monsters;
- the Locusts - an insect-like race that overwhelms enemies with their sheer numbers.
As an avatar pilot, you are assigned a POD (Parthenogenesis Omni-Deployment unit) and an AMEBA shell and sent off to conquer your corner of space.
Mechanics (Full Planned Game Concept)
Each player's AMEBA begins in the same state, though it will have different evolutionary preferences based on the faction you choose. This faction choice will affect certain stat gains and the likelihood to mutate and evolve into specific strains/species and the development of certain skills.
As you progress in rank and power, you will be granted additional PODs allowing you to keep different AMEBAs. This allows you to diversify your arsenal for battle and create diverging strains of AMEBAs.
When you reach sufficient rank, you can choose to leave your faction to go rogue - starting your own Guild or becoming a Freelancer. These options open up the possibilities to trade among the different factions, interact with the global quest and bounty system, and participate in Planetary Battles.
In the early stages, you participate in the Micro Battles, where you are pitted against your peers in simulated combat. As you advance, you open up opportunities to fight against other factions to win territory and planets for your faction.
