First ever Ludum Dare completed! Woo!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I originally entered the contest hoping it would give me incentive to complete a game. Now, almost 72 hours later, I have AT LEAST a finished prototype. It was a lot of fun. I can’t wait to vote on other submissions and finally re-assimilate back into society. XD<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’d say my biggest problem was timing; this event happened just as I was moving into college, so it was pretty crazy. I also wish I had more dedicated team members. It’s always nice to have someone with the same goal in mind to push you on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The game I completed is titled ‘00000010’. I originally had an idea for a game where the world would swap between states every ten seconds, but ten seconds is a pretty long time. Noticing how the theme is written numerically and not grammatically, I decided that I could interpret it as two seconds (10 in base 2). I don’t know how strong this follows the theme, but I thought it was pretty clever.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Without further ado, here is ‘00000010’<\/p>\n

As a side note, we also had an idea for a brawler game, where you had to beat up bad guys to stay pumped with adrenaline to counter a neuro-toxin. Unfortunately, that would rely too much on graphical assets, something that wasn’t very available. But I’ll be saving Rocco Yosocco (the main hero) for another game. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Best of luck to all!<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2013 4:52 pm","title":"Finally Done!"}
