I’m in again :)
Ahoy,
Had a ton of fun in the last two ludums I was in, and plan on using what I learned to try to improve my efficiency and build something for Compo that is actually a full experience. My previous titles Umbrellespionage and Imperial Accountant were both pretty alright, but had similar issues. I spent a decent amount of time producing the graphics and had no solid conclusion. In addition both were stealth games which means I am likely to try to avoid that for this Ludum Dare.
What I did well in previous Ludums:
- Involving the Theme
- Keeping the game at a particular level of polish
- Provided reasonable sound and music
What I’ll be trying to improve in this Ludum:
- Making the theme integral, as opposed to simply related
- Make a catchier name
- Avoid long startup (as reviewers are likely to spend less then 2 minutes on the game on average unless they are very hooked)
- Create a gameplay experience that can be satisfying in both short form and long form gameplay.
Thanks for reading and I’ll probably be streaming this for anyone who is interested.
