SURVIVANT

SurvivAnt provides a spin on traditional RTS games, based on the idea of having indirect control of your units while also combining different phases of a gameplay - gathering resources and improving your units during daytime, and defending the anthill from waves of enemies each night.

Our game contains 1 map, where you have to survive 3 nights of enemy raids, with randomly placed resources to harvest, and a upgrade tree including both passive skills and active skills that are used during the defense phase.

The game was created as a project for game development class at Faculty of Informatics Masaryk University (FI:PV255) in the fall 2016 semester by a team of three people consisting of Pavel Kouřil, Ľuboš Hyžák and Jakub Medvecký-Heretik.

Changelog

1.1.0 (2017-10-12)

Several game-changing changes from the last version. Also, built with new Unity.

Gameplay

• The stages of the day now have variable lenght, preventing ants not returning before the invasion starts, or fight continuing in the next day.
• The battle system was completly redone, with ants waiting with the damage after the battle animation is played. They don't eat each other in matter of few frames anymore!
• Ants are born only during the day. This means also their spawn rates had to change for a more balanced gameplay.
• Pheromones do not distract ants fighting during the night.

Graphics

• The painted details on the terrain were replaced with meshes.
• Water was changed into a more fitting style.

1.0.3 (2017-03-30)

This is the last public build of the game for foreseable future. We are currently overhauling the game to make it into a much better product - and most importantly, into a complete game. If you have any feedback, we would love to hear it, as it can help us with the direction the game takes next!

User Interface

• We know that not being able to do anything after the game ends is awful. Don't worry, it's fixed now and you can return to main menu after you win/lose.

1.0.2 (2017-01-30)

Gameplay

• We tried to balance things. More enemies get spawned during nights, giant anteater has more health and can attack slightly bit faster. And no, we didn't forget about red ants - they recieved 1 extra defense point.
• Some upgrades have risen in price to make the game a little bit challenging in second and third day. The victims of this price increase are all of the shouts and later stages of Power of Nature and Defensive Measures.
• Should the game prove itself still too easy, you can expect more balancing patches in the future. Feedback is always appreciated!

1.0.1 (2017-01-24)

Graphics

• Point lights are now casting shadows. Now the game will look nicer during nights.
• Units have correct animations instead of not moving their at all, or moving partly underground.
• Help menu had some gibberish. We fixed that and now it is actually helpful

1.0.0 (2017-01-22)

Initial release as a final assignment for the PV255 class at Masaryk University.
