So, this is my first time participating in LD48. I\u2019d have tried to do it before, but let\u2019s be honest, I\u2019m just bad at timing and always missed it \u2013 except this time.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had just enough time to vote in the final stage and secretly hoped to get \u201cYou are the Villain!\u201d \u2013 and bingo! Too bad the start has been at 3:00 am for me, so I had enough forced time to think about the topic while sleeping.<\/p>\n

Evil wizard defending his tower? Sneaky bandit going on a shoplifting rampage while avoiding cops? Nah, I\u2019ve got something I like even more\u2026 The working title for now is \u201cBlack Knight Blockade\u201d and that\u2019s also what the game is about.<\/p>\n

\"First

Well, the basics are there\u2026 now I just need some more action\u2026<\/p><\/div>\n

In case you still can\u2019t imagine what it\u2019s all about: Dirty\u2026 little\u2026 peasants! Dirty little peasants and other\u00a0scum trying to get over the bridge\u2026 your bridge!<\/strong> That\u2019s just disrespectful and must not happen at any costs! Your goal is to show them who\u2019s in charge of the bridge and who decides who shall pass (shhh: the answer is \u201cnone!\u201d).<\/p>\n

The game is written in C++ and I\u2019m using SFML 2 for input, graphics and stuff. I\u2019m not yet sure if I manage to get it as far as I want within the 48 hours time limit, but we\u2019ll see\u2026<\/p>\n
