\"Minimalist\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My first Ludum Dare, time for a post!<\/p>\n

Framework: Ren’Py<\/p>\n

Music: Not quite sure yet<\/p>\n

Visual: Gimp\/Paintnet + photocamera<\/p>\n

Right. Seeing as how I live in a different timezone and I cannot get Joror <\/a>to wake up before 9 this morning, we start on this game a wee bit later then normal. I wake up to see an e-mail in my inbox, the theme!<\/p>\n

The theme is minimalistic. Right. Of all the beautiful choices it had to be that one. Initially I am dissapointed, but when I start packing my stuff (I am staying over at Joror’s place so we can motivate each other)my mind starts \u00a0going over the options. Minimalistic in what? Graphics? That’s obvious, and any Ludum Dare game will most likely have minimalistic graphics, simply due to time constraints. But what about audio, gameply and story? Slowly an idea starts to form about a minimalistic game that’s still interesting. It is said that all growth lies outside your comfort zone, so I guess I’m glad a theme is chosen that’s not my favourite.<\/p>\n

My planning for the time I have:<\/p>\n
