Sadly I didn&#8217;t finish my game, but despite of\u00a0throwing the towel, I was very happy to participate on this event and I hope it will not be the last time.<\/p>\n <p>Anyhow I would like to share my experience and the game prototype I had.<\/p>\n <p>After a relative short period of time I came up with my idea:<\/p>\n <p><em> The story is a typical teenage horror movie and you play the monster. You have\u00a0sleept over many\u00a0hundred years and now the time has to come to\u00a0awake. And you have to scare teenager\u00a0in order to gain energy and win the game.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <p>You had\u00a0the following possibilities in order to scare the teenagers:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Scratch the window<\/li>\n <li>Cut off the power of the cabin<\/li>\n <li>Break into the car and execute the alarm<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>I wanted to implement a status\u00a0bar where you can see the fear level. And when the fear level is at its maximum you won the game! But the rule of the game is not\u00a0to be spotted\u00a0from the teenagers. <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>\n <p>The level I created contained following objects:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Cabin<\/li>\n <li>Car<\/li>\n <li>Big rock with a\u00a0small cave<\/li>\n <li>Tree<\/li>\n <li>2 x Grass textures<\/li>\n <li>Teenager<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-491322\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/level1-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"level\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/level1-300x180.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/level1-550x330.jpg 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/level1.jpg 836w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u00a0<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-491324\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/start-300x155.jpg\" alt=\"start\" width=\"346\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/start-300x155.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/start-550x285.jpg 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/start.jpg 1044w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 346px) 100vw, 346px\" \/><\/p>\n <p>The level was simple structured. The monster started in the cave and has only limited area to move arround.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>From the scripting part I implemented a teenager with raycasts in order to detect the monster.<\/p>\n <p><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-491325\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/teenager-300x192.jpg\" alt=\"teenager\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/teenager-300x192.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/teenager-550x352.jpg 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/teenager.jpg 661w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n <p>The monster could scratch the window, the user had to enter letters on the keyboard to execute the scratching.<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/scratchthewindow.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-491323\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/scratchthewindow-300x124.jpg\" alt=\"scratchthewindow\" width=\"300\" height=\"124\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/scratchthewindow-300x124.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/scratchthewindow-550x227.jpg 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/scratchthewindow.jpg 1149w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>When the scratching was executed, the teenager rotated rapidly towards the window.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>As a summary I think I am going to do it better the next time. I should have done a better preparation on my code base and I should\u00a0freshed up my experience on blender a bit. As a notice I also have\u00a0to say that\u00a0the IRC chan #ludumdare was a very friendly place, where you could ask any question you wanted and you received always nice and respectful answers. Besides that, you could join\u00a0interesting discussion concerning\u00a0the topic.<\/p>\n <p>So we see us again in a couple of months. <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>\n <p>Greetings,<\/p>\n <p>schw3de<\/p>","time":"August 25th, 2015 9:04 am","title":"Review of my first ludm dare"}
