But then I had another thought. \u201cYou only get one\u2026THEME\u201d<\/p>\n
Imagine it. 2D, side scroller, pixel art, a guy sitting in his room, with a giant beard and a can of coke, a cat sitting on the bed waving it\u2019s little striped grey pixel tail. The monitor illuminates the pixelized room with a blue glow.<\/p>\n
Then you get a selection screen. At the top it says \u201cLudum Dare #1\u2033 with a random selection of themes based on all passed Ludum Dare contest. Then you have to decide. What your game will be based on. (Yes, I\u2019m aware this is not how Ludum Dare works, but my excuse is\u2013whatever). So from this list, selected from multiple real LDs, you have to pick the one out of all of them that was the most successful.<\/p>\n
After you pick the player gets a very brief typing animation, \u201cmaking\u201d a game. If you succeeded you get a kitten, or a goldfish. that decorates the room. If you fail, your character evolves a pimple.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rinse and repeat until either you have turned into a cat\/fish hoarder, or you have evolved into a necromorph-like, pimple-covered monstrosity.<\/p>\n
By the way, this isn\u2019t what my game is about. <.<<\/p>\n
