And in fact i was since the begining. I’ve choose my game idea within the hour and started to code it yesterday midday. But i’ve been super-reluctant to announce it because i soon realised that i have forgotten all the damn things i knew about code in just a month !!\u00a7*\u00f9<\/em>, and it is so fraking slow and painfull to do something in this state thus i wasn’t sure to be able to make anything at all.<\/p>\n

Now my head is still full of hatred for my absolute non-skill, for my 10second-memory, for frrrr-shhhh-javascript, for the injustice of all the evil things in the world<\/em>, but i haven’t killed anybody yet and the project seems to slowly take shape. I’m not sure to be able to submit it for monday, but for i’m trying anyway – and hell, since i poor little thing am suffering a lot in that goal !! – here am i.

\n \u2022 Tools :<\/strong> So, i’m a non coder thrown in the hard and cruel world of javascript & canvas<\/em>. I also use flashdevelop, the old old old Paint shop pro 7, and my own previous code from my two early projects. I use no libs, however i pick some pieces of code in tutorials and advices from programmers friends. And i speak english bad. Sorry!<\/p>\n

\u2022 About the game idea :<\/strong><\/p>\n

We will play with little creatures who only have ten seconds lifespan. You have to help them fulfil the great wish and goal of their life<\/strong> (like meet anotherone, reproduce themselve, or construct a nest) by guiding them in the right place to achieve it.<\/p>\n

The nests are necessary for reproduction; to construct one the nest-goal creatures have to go to a random specific point, that moves away the creatures and thus you will have to move them for the encounters. One can make born a maximum of X creatures, when all of them have been born or if you forgot to make reproduce them and there is no new generations, you get a total of creatures having been happy or unhappy.<\/p>\n

Bonus :<\/strong><\/em> when they meet, creatures says something cute or fun or poetical, and it is wrote in The Great Book Of Life<\/em>. Perhaps.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2022 Inspiration :<\/strong> I realised the similarity with a game i adored from the last Ludum Dare where you had to help people meet their significant ones. It was really simple and poetic. Felt a little bit odd when i noticed it, but well, it’s okay. It also seems to be a remembrance of “flOw” from Thatgamecompagny, that i loved a lot.<\/p>","time":"August 25th, 2013 2:40 am","title":"Well, i\u2019m in !"}
