If the theme of this LD was \u201cturrets\u201d I\u2019d be covered. I\u2019ve 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Have a way to go still. Sure, the player is alone, but that\u2019s easy to do in a game: just don\u2019t make other characters. My plan was to have a door unlock at the top of the tower once you\u2019ve placed and activated all the building\u2019s defenses at the bottom, as if you were playing a game against yourself, hence \u201calone.\u201d I still may do this\u2026 but now it\u2019s time to go to sleep. Maybe I\u2019ll improve upon my idea by tomorrow.\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 17th, 2011 11:32 pm","title":"Turrets All the Way Down","title_was_empty":false}
