Ok, I’ve gone to sleep just after the theme release, and woke up a hour and half ago. Now it’s 7:30 AM here in Brazil and I’ll go to work, but doing already some sketches of the art while I’m there. Unfortunately I’ll only code tomorrow and monday, because of job.

I was hoping to go with an old design of mine, which I call “Villagers of The Stone Age”, a kind of First-Person City Builder. But that would rely too much on a nailed AI to work, and I doubt I would manage to do that on the little time I have.

So I’m going with an arcade-style (8bit graphics plus chiptunes) sci-fi roguelike where the Protagonist traverse the galaxy (each level a planet, ten levels) looking for clues to find the location of the mythic planet Earth, where some half-witted not-exactly-scientists claim that Humanity first evolved. He will have to scavenge the ruins of millenia-old cities and colonies, and will have to fight the resistance of an old grumpy religious fundamentalist Secret Society.

And of course he will find some helping figures, like Isaac on Trantor, Philip on Sirius, and Sid on Alpha Centaury. 😀

Good luck to all of us!!!
