So the first idea that I came up with after last night’s announcement was a tree-growing tower-defense game of sorts. The player would grow a tree from sapling to mature while plotting seed pods on various branches to bomb the invading gnomes who want to turn your tree into lumber.<\/p>\n
I really liked the idea and sat down to see if I could execute on it. Truth be told – it’s definitely something I can<\/strong><\/em> make, but I had a feeling like I wouldn’t have gotten it done in time and I would have had to brush up on a little trigonometry (not something I want to spend time on during LD – but needs to happen).<\/p>\n With that, I did some quick planning on a really simple city simulator game where you build structures to grow resources, population, and cash. The player can win by either Infrastructure, Economic, or Population victories.<\/p>\n There is under 36 hours left – this is going to be a mad race to the finish!
