I have always loved jams,<br \/>\n since the first one I did, but I tend to prefer to work in teams during them.<\/p>\n <p>Thats why this mini LD is perfect, I didnt need to do it solo.<br \/>\n I&#8217;ve \u00a0Teamed up with a good friend from Uni Grant Rule, to make this game.<\/p>\n <p>The theme(Contrast) had me stumped for quite a while, and I eventually went with a fairly clich\u00e9<br \/>\n kind of idea to follow, which is basically run with the idea of only using black and white.<br \/>\n Figuring out what I could do with only two colours, I thought of the only obvious thing&#8230;<br \/>\n If half of the things in the game are white, and half are black, if the background is black or white, half of the things will seem invisible!<\/p>\n <p>At which point My idea started coming to life and I started drawing.<\/p>\n <p>I wont go into everything thats gone on from then till now, I&#8217;ll just post a public link to the (very unpolished)<br \/>\n prototype-y current version!<\/p>\n <p>http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/37694220\/Contrast\/contrast.html<\/p>\n <p>W or UP to jump<br \/>\n A or LEFT to go left<br \/>\n D or Right to go right<br \/>\n and \u00a0SPACE to stop time and swap colour.<\/p>\n <p>Not even sure how many people read random posts by random people, but feel free to comment etc \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n <p>Will make another post when I get a new build done<\/p>","time":"July 10th, 2012 6:13 pm","title":"The Code Trolls venture into Ludum Dare land :D Mini-LD#36"}
