Hello all! This will be my first Ludum Dare, and hopefully my first successful one as well!<\/p>\n

Going strong with my trusty GameMaker 8, sfxr, and photoshop!<\/p>\n

On the subject of the Alone, I decided to explore the loneliness of being surrounded by people. You don’t have to be physically alone to feel isolated, and there is nothing quite like people who can help, but refuse to, that crushes the kindred spirit.<\/p>\n

Of course it’s only been a few hours, and instead of any of what I just said, I have some lovely bits of floor and a character with basic walking implemented! Also, a massive glowing stone. It’ll be an uphill battle from here, since I haven’t quite nailed the core mechanic, but until then I’ll try to populate the world with people and events.<\/p>\n
