Legislate or bee extinct
Legislate or bee extinct was created for the Global Game Jam 11. It was created by the same team that I have worked with for the past 2 years as well, and was once again at the Global Game Jam at Qantm College in London as it was a closer venue to attend.
Legislate or bee extinct was made for the third Global Game Jam that I participated in, once again with the same team we tried to make something totally different that would suit the theme. The theme this year was extinction and amongst a whole range of weird and strange ideas we had come up with we ended up creating a game that was three mini games in one, all playing on different ideas from the theme. It started off that you were in a court case where you had to propose a solution before the court over what you thought should happen with the endangered species. You then had the choice to be the good guy or the bad, which would either result in a little game where you were a bee trying to pollinate endangered plants, or if you were bad a whack-a-mole style endangered species game where you whack as many animals that you mentioned in your proposal. We're very happy to have come up with something quite different that feels like our best game to date. We also felt it was quite an achievement to not include dinosaurs or your average extinct items in the game.
