This theme really stumped me..\u00a0I suppose I need themes to be either more evocative or more directly limiting; Instead this one seems wide open and sort of aimless..<\/p>\n

Last time I had a working game within the first 12 hours I was pretty happy with, but with this one I’m fumbling in the dark. What i’ve got so far is a terminal interface with some visual effects and an ascii image renderer, a music system, and a procedural generator that\u00a0dumps *ludicrous* amounts of detail on fictitious companies, including employees, networks, buildings and their adresses, documents etc.\u00a0I’m thinking I want to do a sort of hacker roguelike where you’ve got\u00a0to track down a file\/files by being given some clues from an employer. I guess I’m imagining\u00a0a text adventure of sorts but with some more systems,\u00a0a pretty vast procedural space to get lost in (if you’re just fumbling around) and some neat cyberpunky sensibilities. This MAY have to segue from the compo into the jam though,\u00a0I just haven’t hit that same stride I had last time.<\/p>\n

This is Flash with some stage3d fluff, written in Haxe 3 using custom stuff or my own open source libraries.<\/p>\n
