Turrets All the Way Down
If the theme of this LD was “turrets” I’d be covered. I’ve made a little depopulated world for the player to wander. Not yet a game. The world is an imperfect fractal of turrets, each turret resting on another turret of greater size. It’s a creepy and dark environment. The player is on a single turret containing four spires and a church. So far, there is no aim, just a set piece of architecture that the player can wander around.
Have a way to go still. Sure, the player is alone, but that’s easy to do in a game: just don’t make other characters. My plan was to have a door unlock at the top of the tower once you’ve placed and activated all the building’s defenses at the bottom, as if you were playing a game against yourself, hence “alone.” I still may do this… but now it’s time to go to sleep. Maybe I’ll improve upon my idea by tomorrow.
