Right well since I live in the UK the compo started in the early hours of the morning so I am just starting now. I did however make sure I stayed up until the theme was announced so I knew what to was going to sleep!

I was slightly wrong with my prediction but it is still an interesting theme to do! I am thinking of doing a game similar to Dungeon Keeper and Evil Genius where you are in charge of a maze or dungeon and heroes try to defeat you, sort of a reverse Angband if you will.

A Plan I need a plan!

Going to need something reminiscent of a plan or set of goals to keep me going! So I think I will do as follows:

1. Work on the map generation. This is crucial to a Dungeon Crawler and is probably pretty crucial to an inverted dungeon crawler style game.
2. Work on some basic AI. For heroes and evil minions alike
3. Pretty Graphics, sort of. I’m not really an artist so this may prove difficult.
4. Some kind of GUI menu. I have tried before to make a menu and it was very time consuming.

I will be using libGDX and the game will probably be designed to just fit on the screen with no scrolling since I want to keep it simple and let it be portable to the android if possible.

Wish me luck! I get a feeling I will be pulled away from this a few times over the weekend but will try hard to finish regardless!
