To follow the tradition for this Ludumdare:
“I’m declaring that I intend to participate for the first time”
maybe it turns to the good or maybe it turns to the very bad, we’ll see.

Well this is my first Ludumdare…      …well my first Competition for making games ever.
Furthermore i must go for maybe 2 hours to a party.
And I must help a friend in Photoshop.

But I still have plenty of hope that I have something playable in the end.
You know “While there’s life, there’s hope.”.

Because I played in last time with AS3 and Flixel, I will use that, Photoshop for concepts and the visual eyecandys and maybe Alchemy for inspirational use.

After the hole distraction and time problem, because of the family, the friends and a party.
and the loss of a good preparation.
and some fixing problems i could solved faster if i would be well prepared.

I can say:

The gameplay is done.
Its very basic, you must go through a big labyrinth to find the big treasure and passing the dangers within this ruin.

The graphics are done.

Now all I need is… …well a Game.

I need to do a lot of mapping, the whole Story and the end sequence.
And i am tired as hell, and my body wants to nap since hours.

I still think its a good experience, and now I know where I need to improve.

But next time, I will come well prepared and with much more time.

I encounterd a lot of bumps on my way to make a real time strategy game in Pico-8. Now there is not much time left, so i can't implement a base building mechanic. And i really hope that i can still make something that is game-ish.

I finally finished. It was quite an adventure to make a RTS game in Pico-8 but it's of done. I have a lot of things i would like to add, for example base building. But that is for another time. Also the code is stupendously ugly and will need a fix sometime.

Have a look at the game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/power-outage also you might want to mute the music. It is horrible and i really need to learn how to use a tracker and make music so that your eardrums don't want to die.
