I’ve got my game idea for the Mini-LD.<\/p>\n

I’m interpreting the theme as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Getting it done is the most important thing<\/li>\n
  2. The actual “theme” is less important<\/li>\n
  3. It’s a Mini-LD, so the rules can be bent<\/li>\n
  4. Therefore: It’s more important to get the thing done, so the actual “theme” can be neglected and it’s not too<\/em> much of a big deal<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    That being said, my idea has very little if anything to do with the potential themes. I really love the idea, though, and want to make it happen.<\/p>\n

    The premise has a wide scope, though, and I’ll only be able to get a subset of it working during the Mini-LD. That’ll be a good push for me, though.<\/p>\n

    The game is about a fox that has to get eight elemental crystals (Fire, earth, water, air, and four others I’ll figure out) into their respective altar-type places to get the Forces of Nature back into balance before the World is Destroyed. The Mini-LD version will have the first crystal and a “To be continued…” at the end.<\/p>\n

    The game will be a Metroidvania where the player collects various skills. The Mini-LD version will have at least two of them.<\/p>\n

    Looking forward to this,<\/p>\n
