Newcomer to MiniLD #24

Hello. I’m a long-time follower, new participant to Ludum Dare. I’ll be participating in MiniLD #24, testing my might against lower-level opponents, so to speak. If I manage to finish this well enough (considering I’m looking at pretty unfavorable conditions), I might try my hand at a regular competition.

I’ve been rolling around a few ideas in my head around the  limitations, and I’ve ended up with something that I might be able to make, though it won’t be extraordinary, since I’m not that into the idea myself. If any other idea strikes me until I begin proper, I’ll do that, of course, but as of right now, I’ll be using..

Themes:

  • None so far, might see. The only way I might be able to squeeze one in is via plot, which isn’t as much as I’d hoped for.

Limitations:

  • Two colors (possibly, if I can work the graphical style in.)
  • Framerate cap at 5fps (this of course would probably only include graphics, which means it’d be a feature of the graphical style.)

Rules:

  • Use a tool you’ve never used before. (Pygame)

I haven’t settled on a name yet, nor much of anything yet (hence the vague outline of the game), and I’m doing this Waterfall-style. I’ll be making features, then finding explanations or ingame justifications for them, and hopefully I’ll end up with something.

I’ll also try to make a timelapse of both my desktop and my webcam, though the latter is questionable. I’ll hang out in IRC, and we’ll see how things go.

Here we go, wish me luck.
