Hello everyone!

We are a team of three game students who go by the name Dutchess Games, which is both a reference to our nationality and a pun, and we are very excited to take part in our first Ludum Dare.

We are making a game about the tree of life “Yggdrasil”, who is a God in our game, he attempts to restore the connection between man and nature. He hopes to accomplish this by taking over the earth and sucking the life out of people.

In these screenshot you see the gameplay of Yggdrasil using a vine to consume a human (the red things). Naturally this is a work in progress and the art hasn’t been implemented yet.

These are thumbnails, concept art of our poor unfortunate souls, which will be consumed by Yggdrasil.

Yggdrasil is really neat, but he is too much to take in for now, therefor he shall be exposed another day.

We are very excited to see the creative ideas other people came up with. Good night and good luck with your projects!

– Mathijs, Masha and Jaden.
