I thought I’d share this with you guys:

First off, I’m not saying that using other games as an inspiration source is bad practice. After all, most good ideas come from a mixture of others. But personally I like to sometimes use different media for inspiration and I did this Ludum Dare.

The Badjau

This is a video segment from Human Planet in which you see the Badjau, or sea gypsies. They live on boats on the sea, rarely going ashore and when doing so getting “land-sick”. How about that huh.

The father hunts fish on the sea bed and is capable of holding his breath for about 5 minutes. I could tell you a lot more but you should just go watch it 😉

Results

And here is the result (my entry) with a gameplay footy by caranha as I can’t find any good pictures atm ^^
