Well, it’s been an interesting LD so far! Since we’re based in DDorf, Germany, the theme came up at 3am this morning for us so we opted the less stressful route of just taking it slow after we woke up. I’m doing the compo, and it’s been a pretty rageful day full of making the game do the thing, then do the other thing, then the first thing breaks and spending two hours figuring out why the thing did that.

My entry is called ‘Sneakeasy‘, where you play a devious bartender in the 1920’s prohibition era. You’ve got a reputable resturant, but you’re secretly sneaking boozehounds some tiddly in the backroom. Cops come in and eat at your restaurant & you’ve gotta keep the food coming, otherwise they’re gonna get angry and start pokin’ around in your business. It correlates to ‘Beneath The Surface’ because a lot of legit businesses at the time were speakeasies under the surface.

Other ideas I had included a game where you play as an oven and it’s your job to cook the food just right using ATEs (like, you don’t want it raw beneath the surface, do you?) and an undercover cop dance party.

Sleep now and more in the morning. Hope you’re all doing well!

Also, I’ll still be tweeting my pain and our location will still be streaming tomorrow. We’re prone to break out into song to sweet 90’s classics. Especially Spice Girls.
