So we needed another look on this \u201ctiny world\u201d. We came up with small scopes and small spaces, and inspired by the national geographic we came with THIS:<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone\" height=\"326\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jesus-is-savior.com\/Basics\/titanic-doomed.jpg\" width=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Man, the world of safety sure seems small in this situation. Our game would be Tinytanic, a story about an unfortunate boat, ever decreasing spaces, and way too much people trying to survive. And how do you make sure you survive? Well, by diminishing the amount of \u201crivals\u201d that also want to claim a saving spot!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/04\/21\/tinytanic-there-aint-enough-boat-for-the-two-of-us\/this-is-horrible\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-122480\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-122480\" height=\"412\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/this-is-horrible-550x412.png\" width=\"550\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the art style of the ga\u2026 neh who am I kidding. So features of the game are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Survive the tinytanic, the boat with ever decreasing size and luck!<\/li>\n<li>Forge alliances with NPC\u2019s to work together for your survival!<\/li>\n<li>Throw, Push and Trick people to convince that \u201cyou\u2019re surely the one who deserves that survival spot the most\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While we\u2019re making the game, we also have a request for the readers! We want to add 160 NPC\u2019s, and they all need a character. Can you give us suggestions for NPC\u2019s? We want:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A name!<\/li>\n<li>Two remarks about his or her life, that he or she can say to the player. Try to keep it short! (like: \u201cI love fishing with my granddaughter\u201d or \u201cMy ambition is to make the biggest wooden cabin in the world\u201d )<\/li>\n<li>One sentence he or she would say when he or she is dying (like:\u201dThe fishes will take revenge on my now!\u201d or \u201cI hope they have hardwood in heaven\u2026\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Any suggestions are welcome, and we\u2019ll try to keep you up to date!<\/p>\n<p>-Abbey Games<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","time":"April 21st, 2012 4:01 am","title":"Tinytanic: There ain\u2019t enough boat for the two of us!"}
