Yay! First Ludum dare ever!

As i saw the MiniLD on the homepage of LudumDare i immediately became excited. I have wanted to do an LD but never really had the time or knowledge, but now i can finally be part of it. So what will i do?

When i annonced the MiniLD to my friends whom i was going to work with the big questionmark came up for what game we should make. We discussed the theme and ideas for it for about 2 hours when we finally came up with a very interesting concept, freerunning. As i love doing freerunning (yes the sport) i immediately came to think about that when i read the theme. However this will not be any “standard” freerunning game, oh no! Just a week ago me and my friends where talking on ooVoo and discussed games, when we came up with the “fat person simulator”, The idea made us all crack up, and since we where going to create a game this weekend we thought “hey why not”. So the game we are doing is a freerunnign fatty game, where you as the player is supposed to get thin (don’t we all). Now your way of getting thin is freerunning and healthy food, however healthy food is disgusting, as we all know. So a multiple level, platformer runnign game is what we are going to do, with a timer for game limitation and different kinds of food for points.

As i am the programmer most of the gameplay is up to me to create, and since i have worked with C++ for almost 4 years i went with the SFML 1.6 library and C++ as language.

Will be back with updates/screenshots of the progress as i go! And also i may even livestream some on twitch.
