All my previous entries to Ludum Dare have been in 2D, made in Lua with an engine called LÖVE. Recently however I’ve been trying to become proficient at Unity and C#, so it made sense to make what is my first polygonal game. Well, right now there isn’t much of a game there but there will be by the end of the day.

Being kind of new to Unity I found it more difficult to come up with a good idea for the theme. This game is a little abstract in its interpretation, and is based around all those “every ten seconds…” statistics you get in the media. Like “every ten seconds Oprah Winfrey earns $100” and “every ten seconds 20 people die”.

The result is a game that I think I’ll call Midlands Noire, that will hopefully be a not be too heavy handed look at poverty in the year 2024.

All that’s left to do now is to finish the game part.
