So we decided that since we were starting LD34 this year with some pre-existing code…Forever Humble PDX is going to attempt to make 2 games.
Project management is one of my specialties, so I’ve split our guys up into two teams, Tonal Recall Games & Skinny Jean Death Studios. My son is programming on both projects (he’s 14, this is his 4th LD)….as if just getting one working wasn’t going to be hard enough.
We chose to go with 2 button controls, however there really wasn’t any specifics to this theme. We’ve seen some people are making games that utilize both buttons on the mouse, but still incorporate mouse movement as well, so we are taking the aporoach that the d-pad doesn’t count.
Both of our projects will be made for use with gamepad only.
One of them is being designed with NES controller design…so it will function with d-pad and two buttons. The other is keeping to xbox/ps controller design….using only the analog sticks to control.
The artists are hard at work, the programmers are kicking ass….I’m heading off to the studio to get some music done.
Wishing everyone the best of luck!
