Ahab's Mystical Wagon Adventures by Franklin's Ghost
Ahab's Mystical Wagon Adventures was my attempt at making a little adventure game, something that I've always wanted to try.
Had a lot less time then I'd expected this weekend to work on it and wasted a lot of time figuring out the movement and animation part of it, so the game is completely unfinished.
Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed. There's not much to do at the moment besides look at things and somewhat interact. But hey at least you can pat a donkey. All the actual gameplay is missing as I ran out of time and there's no audio at all. The theme I also didn't get time to properly explain, so that'll make no sense to most people either.
Also had trouble compiling a windows projector as flash kept throwing up errors so I'll try again tomorrow when I've had more sleep. Seems to work okay in browser fullscreen.
Better luck next time I guess.
UPDATE POST LUDUM DARE VERSION 2/09/16
-more animations + animations for moving up and down.
-scene tweaks.
-testing rock pickup add to inventory and throw.
-chapter intro that had missed adding.
-text tweaks.
-more I've forgotten about.
UPDATE 9/09/16
-more detailed object inspections.
-fade background when looking at objects as per local minimum's suggestion.
-tweaked wheel animations.
-close up of inside of wagon added.
Will keep working on it and updating till this scene is complete and there's actually a resolution.
Any questions feel free to ask me on twitter

I hope you finish it and I wish you luck, well done.
I came across a bug: after I pet the donkey everything I interacted with also gave the same text and animation as petting the donkey.
I'm not sure if this a bug or if it just wasn't implemented, but when I "picked up" the rock it was still on the ground. It would have been nice to have some sort of inventory system to see what I was carrying, but That probably would have taken up a lot of the development effort
Otherwise, there's not really much to comment on. It would be nice to see some more stuff made in this style. If this is going to be made into a complete game, I'd be glad to play it.
I hope you have learnt a lot of things during this LD and that you will make a wonderful game next time.
