1 1/2 hour progress report
My response to seeing the theme.
An hour and a half in, and I have my concept! The designs are coming along really well, which is good cuz there’s a lot to design. My goals for this Ludum Dare are:
- Make something sci-fi (thank GOD the theme’s not alchemy)
- Don’t make a platformer!
- STRETCH: If possible, port game to mobile!
I’m keeping my game simple, no alpha-fades and 4:3 resolution, so that maybe I can port it to mobile within the time limit of the Dare ^_^
It’s a sci-fi strategy game, heavily inspired by the only part of Spore that was really fun. It’ll be fun and quirky, but I’m also making sure it’s somewhat grounded in science. For example, if you really want to reach the furthest stars, you’d better mine for some deuterium! Sci fi rules, and I can’t wait to see what this game turns into.
No computers yet, but my god there are a lot of words.
And these are my jams, which are awesome:

Hope your Dares are going well too! 😀
