Game design and surprises
I put my alarm clock at 3am and got the theme. Oh, cool, I voted for that one ! My weapon will be toilet paper ! Then I went to sleep.
When I awake I started thinking that it would be cool to have the roll be desintegrated by water, but then you could make little balls of paper mâché and you get stronger, etc. And you’d play a mummy awakening in a museum. That would be fun ! But I didn’t like the nature of the game : one more platformer where you kill everyone.
So I started thinking about non lethal weapons. And it hit me: hugs! A hotline Miami like game where you infiltrate the house to hug the bad guys without being shot first. THAT would be really cool and fluffy.
And then I started my computer. And it didn’t boot. I guess that’s it for my first ld.

Didn’t boot.
