Hi! So LifeWaster started on Sunday at 10am, I couldn't use my computer and if there's was a chance of anything done, a 2011 Macbook Air was the only way.

Thanks to Construct 3 for making the tool fully available during this days, I usually work with the 2nd desktop version, I knew that there's some differences but never made a game on the online 3rd version.

So first game on Construct 3, on a Mac, sure there was some strange feelings.

But then, the magical aura of the Ludum Dare took over the Sunday, with few hours left, work is the only thing that has to be done.

But no, I've thought of an idle game that in my head worked like a charm (familiar?).

Hours go through and with barely 8 left, the game didn't clicked, had no clear destination, couldn't close it.

So LifeWaster emerged and was amazing for me, took over like some kind of voice for things that I really think about apps and every social network.

So a joke not so joke marks a Ludum Dare entry, hope you can enjoy it.

Finished the day making 11 (eleven) looping song on the godly Bosca Ceoil 2 by the legendary Terry Cavanagh, how charming is to feel his soul through a software guiding me to the final line.

Something weird, the sfx software that I usually use doesn't have a Mac version (Labchirp, beautiful tool) so I ended up making all sound effects on Bosca as well, not so happy with that due to tradition but a game with no sfx kinda has no charm.

Finally, Aseprite. What to say. Argentinian software made right, is so close to home that I can barely say any words. Feels like home, all of it.

Thanks to all of us for making this amount of games on a weekend, itch.io is going nuts storing all this juiciness to the world, doesn't get enough credit.
