Hey, everybody, I just wanted to post something to celebrate the fact that after many failed MiniLD’s, I finally completed one. So huzzah!

Song of Sparks

I wasn’t planning on making a game over the weekend at all, but me and Michcioperz were talking to Finnbar Thursday when we confirmed that he hadn’t actually made a game yet, despite posting regularly on Idea Squish. Then I remembered that 22Jams was happening the 29th-30th, with the challenge to make a game with someone on your team who hasn’t. It was too perfect to pass up. But of course, 22Jams’ lack of any real theme was a bit too broad for our brainstorming, so we borrowed the themes “Music” and “Dreams” to end up participating in two jams at once.

I’m pretty proud of what came out. Finnbar came up with the whole idea in an odd music-drunk trance on IRC. (He later edited around what he said in that chat to make up the story.) I coded all the visual stuff and gameplay changes while he coded/composed the music. Michi just did whatever he felt like.

It would be great if you could check out the game and leave a comment. The whole thing only lasts about three and a half minutes. We had a great time, and thanks to johnfn for great themes!
