Getting my big drawing pad, pencils and pens next.\u00a0 Uploading my game to the python package index as I go: <a href=\"http:\/\/pypi.python.org\/pypi\/virusdanger\">http:\/\/pypi.python.org\/pypi\/virusdanger<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Below is the intro text for my game\u2026<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The grit of sand in your teeth is the first thing you feel when you wake up. For a moment you lie, eyes closed, trying to figure out why your head hurts and why there is a terrible taste in your mouth. You spit. Out comes some sand, but also a little bit of blood. Eyes open. \u2018What the?\u2019 you mutter.<\/p>\n<p>You are not in Melbourne anymore Dorathy.<\/p>\n<p>Panic strikes. \u2018Help!\u2019 you scream as you try to stand up. You stumble. Looking around there is no one. Turning around, and around. Turning around.<\/p>\n<p>Looking around, there is no one as far as you can see. You get dizzy from the turning. You hang your head to catch your breath a little. Looking down something catches your eye. There is a piece of paper held under a small rock. Picking up the paper, you also see a whistle. Like in the aeroplanes, how they tell you \u201cand a whistle for attracting attention\u201d. You brush off the sand and put it in your pocket.<br\/>\nThe note reads \u201cIt\u2019s Dangerous to Go Alone! Take this!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA Whistle? Someone left me here in the desert with just a whistle?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Your head pounds. \u201cI think I\u2019m coming down\u201d. The last thing you remember dancing in a trendy nightclub in Prahran at 7am. Handbag house, your favourite. Memories of dancing on couches, and your head inside a lamp shade hanging from the roof. Your hair was getting hot, and the light was bright in your eyes. You felt the love.<\/p>\n<p>Sticking your head in a lamp shade was probably not the best idea you ever had.<\/p>\n<p>Your head is pounding with a beasty inside your head bashing drums from the inside of your skull, and it feels like a budgey died in your mouth. Despite this you put the whistle to your dry lips. Your lips taste of strawberry lip gloss and sand.<\/p>\n<p>You brace yourself for the loud whistle sound.<\/p>\n<p>WHISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTLE<\/p>\n<p>A force pushes all around you outwards. It blows small shrubs and sand away from you. Yes, magic. A magic fucking whistle. Collosal.<\/p>\n<p>You consider the note again: \u201cIt\u2019s Dangerous to Go Alone! Take this!\u201d This whistle might just come in handy after all. You wonder what is dangerous out there?<\/p>\n<p>Determined to make it out of here, you set off into the desert to make your way home.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: right;border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 2px;background: #fff;\"><div class=\"iLikeThis\" id=\"iLikeThis-46760\"><span class=\"counter-off\"><a class=\"image\" onclick=\"likeThis(46760);\">0<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"postmetadata alt\">\n<small>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThis entry was posted\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ton Saturday, April 30th, 2011 at 5:41 am\t\t\t\t\t\tand is filed under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/category\/ld-20\/\" rel=\"category tag\" title=\"View all posts in LD #20 - It's Dangerous to go Alone!
