Well after deciding to participate in my first Ludum Dare compo, I was hoping for a better theme. However, evolution will just have to do 😛

So far my thoughts are to use some form of genetic algorithm to generate the player. The player will have the ability to mate with other beings in the world producing a child which will automatically become the player. This of course will give the player different abilities and such.

That’s all I have at the moment, but if you wish.. Stay Tuned!

Just realised I haven’t posted what tools I’ll be using..

I was originally going to use C++/OpenGL however decided I’d take the time to learn some C# and XNA. I’ll also be using GIMP for graphics and I am as of yet undecided on what to use for audio production.
