10 whole minutes (sleep) sober
Last time I worked on Ludum Dare, I ran with the first idea that seemed workable, and it wasn’t until halfway through that I realized it was a dumb idea, somehow both too lofty and too lazy. This time I discussed my idea thoroughly with several friends individually last night, typed up some ideas, and then slept on it.
Now that I’m awake, the idea still seems sound, and I’m much more confident that I can have something possible and working done by Monday.
After poking around, I found OpenGameArt’s LPC project to be most helpful for most of the art I’m going to need for my 2D Zelda-esque dungeon crawler. One major set of setpieces are the bosses, though; your standard dungeon fare: dragons, ogres, necromancers, etc, and I don’t have time to work on them myself and no artist attached to this project yet. Anyone willing to help on this aspect? Perhaps one of you artists that can’t put in as much time as they’d like?
