Inspired by numerous discussions with more-people-die-from-flu-arguments, i decided to make a little game to let players experience pandemic, exponential growth and let them try to get it under control.
In a city scenario a virus starts spreading. The game is won if there are no infected anymore and lost, when every citizen is infected. At the current prototype status the core game loop is implemented. The virus spreads between citizens within a realistic distance, also a first measure, social distancing can be observed, which becomes available as the game progresses. Another aspect to be added in the future is citizen resentment. More drastic measures will rise resentment and less citizens will follow the players rules, up to a level of rebellion where the game is also lost.
If you like to play the prototype here is how:
This is a browser game, just follow the URL below. Your browser needs to be WebGL capable/enabled. Be faster then the virus spreading! Click the infected with a red ball over their head, to remove the virus and make them immune for a brief time. Camera movement: WASD and right mouse.
Have fun! :)
