Well hello all!<\/p>\n

So I’m entering LD48 this time around. Last time I tried making a 3D game, but it didn’t really work out and I gave up halfway through. I made myself promise that next around, I’d do a 2D game instead.<\/p>\n

The theme is tricky. For pretty much the entire first 6 hours I had no idea at all, and was prepared to forget the whole thing. But then, while drunk (when all the best ideas come I find), I had A Plan.<\/p>\n

So here it is, so far –<\/p>\n

Yes that’s right, it’s a LucasArts-style point-and-click adventure!<\/p>\n

I spent the entire of Saturday writing the engine from scratch, and it’s actually not too bad. I’m almost even pleased with it.<\/p>\n

I’ve done placeholder art for all the screens. As time allows, I’ll go through and make them suck less, so hopefully it won’t have completely MSPaint-style backgrounds by the end (but time may escape us…).<\/p>\n

Hopefully I’ll have a good few hours left to actually finish writing all the dialogue and puzzles :-\/<\/p>","time":"August 21st, 2011 2:42 am","title":"The Progress Report"}
