This will be my first time participating in Ludum Dare!  I am pretty psyched about it! I haven’t attempted to make a game in a bit.

What I’ll be using:

Engine: Unity 2D (JavaScript)
Graphics: Inkscape
Music: SunVoxSound FX: sfxr

Things I should be doing this weekend:

• Stundying
• Cleaning My Room (I would just make it dirty again anyhow)
• Going to a friends BBQ

I am really hoping “You are the World” wins but all the themes in the Final Round looked pretty interesting.

I probably wont stream but I may post a before and after video.

Just a quick vid of me 30 min before LD29! Super excited

This will be my 2nd LD. My first ended with some good ideas but I was not able to do anything with them. This time I plan at the very lest getting something submitted.

I’ll be using Construct 2, Photoshop/Illustrator , still haven’t picked a music/sfx gen yet.

Wrote this up a bit ago forgot to post:

Well its been quite the slow process, and I didn’t get to start till 12Pm today but I just started drawing my tile maps and other assets. I even did a little concept art when still trying to think through the game mechanics.

I got the concept down so far. What I came up with is a Top-down shooter with some puzzle elements.

Working Title: Macrocosm
Platform: PC, Mac
Players: Single
Style: Top down shooter when playing as Cielmi. When playing as Kluger you solve puzzles or avoid/outwit enemies.
Winning: Kill the final boss
Losing: HP gets down to 0 or you run out of time solving the puzzle as Kluger
Reward: Power Ups, skills

The biases for playing two people is that two worlds in parallel universes are merging. This includes people, which has had some odd effects on both ends. The protagonist for example get insight into what the other is doing and actively help each other survive as you start seeing cause and effect reaching out across worlds. While others become violent which make up the enemies in the game.

I may have gone too complicated here but I’ll see where I land with this…

Tiles I made:

Something I drew up while thinking:

So this weekend found me with no girlfriend, and 0 plans.

Ludum Dare/

With time to spare/

With just me in my chair/

This will be the first time I have no distractions. The only thing I am not allowed to make this weekend is excuses!

I will more that likely be going with Unity as I am hyper comfortable with C#. Excited to just get the creative juices flowing before I disappear for a week or two into WoW, and then shortly there after school.

I have never finished a game for the compo but each time I learned more about what not to do. Should be exciting :)
