I <em>have<\/em> decided to go low-tech this time though, to make things a little easier for myself. So I&#8217;m planning to make a very simple command-line text adventure in plain old Python.<\/p>\n <p>The theme is an awkward one, in my opinion, because it pretty much dictates a backstory rather than possible game mechanics, and all that springs to mind at first are artsy, depressing, story-based exploration affairs. I did manage to think further than that, so if like me you&#8217;re struggling for ideas a bit, how about these: <\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Alone doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean <em>physically<\/em> alone (Nobody understands me! I&#8217;m the last of my people!)<\/li>\n <li>The aim might be to <em>become<\/em> alone (Hounded by papparazi? Defending your hermit cave? Looking for a quiet place to revert back to your gelatenous state?)<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Anyway, my tools of choice are:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Python<\/li>\n <li>Curses, maybe<\/li>\n <li>Nano<\/li>\n <li>Paper<\/li>\n <li>PyInstaller<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>My goal this weekend is just to finish something, even if it totally sucks.<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/beginning\/\" rel=\"tag\">Beginning<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ideas\/\" rel=\"tag\">ideas<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/im-in\/\" rel=\"tag\">im in<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/theme\/\" rel=\"tag\">theme<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/tools\/\" rel=\"tag\">tools<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 17th, 2011 4:48 am","title":"Let\u2019s Roll"}
