That Theme…
Yesterday I was thinking of potential game ideas for every item on the final voting list. “It’s dangerous to go alone, take this!” happens to be one of three that I came up with absolutely nothing before. Guess that serves me right for trying to jump the gun (not that I consider coming up with an idea early cheating 😛 it’s just an idea, and they’re a dime a dozen).
So this one has really taken me off-guard for my first Ludum Dare :/
Nevertheless after a half-hour of pacing my parents’ kitchen I’ve gawt one [that I like of three]! But it’s fairly shapeless with a parallel battle mechanic… so I’m thumbing through Jesse Schell’s”Deck of Lens” and hoping it’s possible to do this in two days. The closest comp to LD that I’ve ever entered was 5 days, and I thought my eyes were going to hemorrhage and my brain was going to melt. Fortunately neither of those happened so today/tonight I’m joining you hardcore code killahs.
