First LD. Jam: not themed game, not solo. Realistic hacker simulator.<\/p>\n

Before LD:<\/b> static HTML\/CSS\/JS sketch for login screen and desktop. Private Github repo.<\/p>\n

\"home\"<\/p>\n

Day 1:<\/b> terminal prototype, simple “internet” and system pages. Player which uses YouTube API.<\/p>\n

\"console\"<\/p>\n

Day 2:<\/b> set up LAMP stack in a VM and worked on backend systems \u2013 translation, search, networking and URL handling. Made IRC with button mashing and delayed messages. Friend helped with dialogs.<\/p>\n

\"search\"<\/p>\n

Day 3:<\/b> added ssh, integrated dialogs into IRC, created first two tasks and in-game blog with hints. Polished that a little: playlists, translation, icons, renaming, etc. Created an entry.<\/p>\n

Reception:<\/b> surprisingly well \u2013 I was a bit nervous if the game’s too short or not interesting. There was not enough hints and no “game’s over” message, though. There is a record of TVGS playing the game:<\/p>\n
