I wanted to see the theme before comitting to the ‘Im In’ post, i spent about 8hours thinking up an idea for LD20 and eventually failed.

I believe i can do this theme got afew ideas, will do something properly after i get some breakfest

I have decided to make a puzzle based game in 2D, using unity3D game engine.

I am also going to use a pack of assets that I have been working on for my unity code blog. It wraps a few things in unity such as input and sound, and has afew component scripts in there, if anyone wants it, heres a link, http://newgamesmell.com/blogfiles/code/NGS_Asset_Pack.unitypackage . there more in there than i have had time to write articles about but there at http://newgamesmell.com if anyones interest.

There we go now that the (using anything done before the start time must be declared) is out of the way, back onto the design of the game….. oooooo.

In true indie honor, the design document is an immense 1 page long, that contains a small mockup and some character designs.

The game is quite simple, you have been abducted by aliens that want to probe you and all the other nasty things everyone knows aliens do. It just so happens that the aliens base is full of teleport pads that go to other rooms and switchs that change where the teleport goes to, isnt that great.

You escape by using the teleports to find your way to the exit.

Im a little, hmmmm, about how this game isnt going to turn out, depends on how well the puzzles are designed. Will find out in about 1day, 12 hours and 4 minutes time. 😀 time to start 😀

Had a great sleep and relaxing morning but now, “Back to Ludum Dare with you!!!”

Screenshot time.

Still using Cubes for graphics, will get onto that soon and make a main character (the blue rectangle 😀 ). Then to the levels, if i can get some good puzzles done this could end up playable, wow that would be awesome. 14 Hours to do that then. Lots of other bits planned but wont spoil that surprise (aka, not saying in case i cant do it intime 😛 )
