I’ve created a simulation 3D Game about social theme at the Global Game Jam 2012. I always like to do games with a team but this year I wanted to try to do all the game alone. I’ve built the game in Unity3d.

The game concept
The idea of this game was initially inspired at the movie “The Lion King” from Disney. The movie talks about the “circle of life” and other stuffs. I’ve tried to bring some ideas to the game from it, besides incorporate some social theme at this. As I’ve done the project alone, there was a lot of work to get the game more enjoyable. I hope you get something useful of my work.
The game simulates the life of a small family through all its life. Along the “road”, the family will find many oportunities to interact with and to choose how to interact with.
When the family dies, a generation is gone but your choices remain and the player has the chance to play with the new one. In this point, the player needs to choose if he wants keep walking the same steps from the previous family or he breaks the good or bad “circle” for doing the all new in a different way. So, the game will be influenced by your choices and new stuffs should happen at each new generation!
