Upon hearing the topic of minimalism, I wanted to cover a complicated topic in a very simple way. \u00a0I was inspired by a map of racial segregation, of all things. \u00a0Src =\u00a0http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/most-segregated-cities-census-maps-2013-4<\/a><\/p>\n

I decided to make a game focused on taking game objects that are different and melding them together, but with some form of struggle.<\/p>\n

Colors are simple, and I wanted to use paintbrushes and residue on the ground to make this painting, but time did not permit, so the minimal approach would suffice with spheres inside a box.<\/p>\n

It was a fun adventure using new assets entirely. \u00a0It was so tempting to rip off a chill instrumental that I feel fits the mood. But making it myself is the \u00a0point of ludum dare! \u00a0In any case I have mute, I hope people figure out my little game and enjoy the experience all together.<\/p>\n

One interesting challenge was freeing up time in my schedule. \u00a0 Despite having a free-weekend, this was actually much harder than I imagined.<\/p>\n
