As anticipated my Ludum Dare 28 idea matured and changed a bit once I slept on it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I may end up changing the title as the primary game mechanic now is going to be that You Only Get One minute of light.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This will be enforced by some form of torch or lantern the character can carry about and turn off\/on at will.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I did not like the limits of only 1 minute of gameplay but I liked the pressure of 1 minute of something so this is a good compromise.<\/p>\n

Nothing Much To See Yet!<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n <\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

The rest of the game play that I imagined is still the same but the light mechanics are not as hard wired now and I think will be more fun.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Otherwise I want this to very much be a game about light and the lack of it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Its unclear at this point if there will be *any* in game lighting that the player does not carry with them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In one way I think this is cool, in another it would be cruddy because I do hate games where I can not see at *all*.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That is a balance thing that will tell through later.<\/p>","time":"December 14th, 2013 10:49 am","title":"Slept on it and my idea changed a bit!"}
