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.
