It&#8217;s my way of thinking of an exploration game where a lot of the exploration in this instance is indirect. For better or for worse I haven&#8217;t had much visual progress as a lot of the game is done through non-visual communication. Additionally a lesson that worked well in the last Ludum Dare was I used placeholder graphics as long as possible so I could focus on getting gameplay in there.<\/p>\n <p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/ld_early_1-550x412.png\" alt=\"ld_early_1\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-12610\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/ld_early_1-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/ld_early_1-550x412.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/ld_early_1.png 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n <p>Meanwhile here&#8217;s what I had on my lunch break.
