Myriavora is a crowd control shoot 'em up, set a million years in the future. Spiders have evolved into a far superior species. Huge swarms roam the earth now. Humans are prey and close to extinction. People live in tribes scattered across the world, relying on remains of technology they didn't invent and barely understand.

This is me playing Myriavora at Camp Serenitatis. It's the new map that can be found in the current demo, but the video also shows some stuff I'm currently working on. Most notably the improved blood & gore algorithms!
It started with me noticing a bug that often prevented blood from spawning inside time bubbles. While fixing this I found another bug that caused debris to spawn slightly offset. In the end I spent a whole day fixing, improving, and tweaking all the gore algorithms and parameters. And I'm quite pleased with the result!
Another change you might notice in the video is that time bubbles don't grow as big as they used to. I did this when I realized that you could make time bubbles as big as the whole map, given sufficient level and power generator charge. I was very concerned that this might enable exploits, so I adjusted the size computations. A side effect is that time bubbles are now more stable, which makes them much better at their intended purpose of serving as soft barriers. I'm very happy with this outcome, and I now use the time dilation attack more often than before!

I'm terribly sorry, but you can't heal!
NewsWhen people play Myriavora for the first time, their first question usually is "How can I heal?" When they hear the answer, they think I'm joking.

Not bad at all. Didn't get past the first level, but I DID up the difficulty setting a bit... Did a short review over at Youtube.com
Awesome, nice job! I'm surprised how quickly you picked things up! But "room for imrpovement"? I don't know what you mean... :D
Pretty challenging, or maybe i suck at it. But had fun anyway
Thanks! It's designed to be challenging. But it's not very good at making its mechanics obvious, which makes it harder than it should be. I'm trying to improve that.
