RubbleRousers is an upcoming free browser game (with a free demo out now!) about a clowder of feral cats clawing out survival in the ruins of a city that has fallen under the weight of a zombie apocalypse. Explore, hunt, and raise the next generation.
My name is Finch, and this is a game I've been working on for close to three years now. Let me give you a run down :3
Why be excited about RubbleRousers? Let me give you a few reasons:
Real cat genetics. I spent a year developing the genetics system of this game, working with domain experts to make things as realistic as I possibly could. Punnett squares, sex-linked traits, they're all there!
Survival Game and Petsite. RubbleRousers isn't just a survival game, and it isn't just a petsite. It's the kind of genre combination I always dreamed about as a warrior cats kid, naming my Lioden lions after my fanclan. Bringing new life into the world is just as much of a part of the game as dying in combat. There's injuries, illnesses, and sudden tragedy, just as there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
A city to reclaim. Every map you explore is procedurally generated based on a custom algorithm. Fight everything from zombie cats to vicious foxes.
Build your colony. Build dens, watchtowers, a nursery, a healer's den, and many more. Grow a base from scraps of moss, twine, and metal.
A story to uncover. A full narrative campaign with a cast of strange characters and a final choice that's yours to make.
Support Artists. One of my main goals when I started this project was to support artists in (and outside of) the warriors art community. I am an abysmal artist myself, but the game is full of beautiful art by many paid and volunteer artists. Every dollar donated either goes to server hosting costs, or directly to artists and graphic designers. As grateful as I am for all my lovely volunteers, I want to make sure everyone gets fairly compensated for their time and effort.
