Hi !
This day began with a simple brainstorming about the theme : Keep it alive After much thinking we decided to write the story of a tumbleweed who needs to spread its seeds safely into the desert.
We are a team of four, a developer / level designer, a level builder, and two 3D artists We have a first render of our scene after this first day, and a good base of gameplay.
I feel like this picture conveys well the mood of the game !
Good luck everyone !
As said in our first devlog (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/$186372/tumbleweed-1-first-day-devlog), the team is composed of artists, a level builder and I, a gampeplay dev.
In tumbleweed we want the player to carry its tumbleweed with only wind zones to push it. I started on a very ugly map with blocks only, coding wind volumes, while the level builder worked with the artists to make a first preview of the final graphics.
When the gameplay basics where done, the character was imported into beautiful map, and it gives this awesome contrast between gameplay map and a final map !
Hi all ! We have a great update for Tumbleweed, a first video of gameplay ! This is an example of the final result we want to reach

Hi ! We worked really hard for the past days and here it goes, the final rush. Our level builder is working very hard to end the level in time and a music is getting composed specially for the game !
Here is a little gif of our game at the moment

Tumbleweed is a poetical game about the life of a desert plant who needs help to spread its seeds. The game takes place in a SciFi desert forged by wind.
You play as the wind and must help a tumbleweed to make it's way through dangers.
No need for keyboard ! You play with your mouse only
This game was made entirely during the LudumDare with a team composed of a level builder, two 3D artists and a gameplay developper. A writer and a composer worked on the game too, producing great quality musics and writings.
Here is a small video about some moments we recorded during the jam

TumbleWeed is a poetic game. And our writer Reece BRIDGER made sure of that by making a poem dedicated to the game. It is about the desert, and of course, tumbleweeds.
Here is the first part !
``` Tumble, tumble, tumble along To the tempo of the tempest song
Bundle, bramble and bound In good company with none around
Scatter, scarper and sow So the seed sprouts on the earth below
Gallivant on gust and gale Carried away in my mistral tale
Dance upon the dust and sand Clutching nothing in your withered hand
Wither and wilt, waste and wane Lay and rest til I, Wind, come again
Leap aloft of root and stem Darting, dancing desert diadem
...
```
To be continued in the game !

One of you took the time to make a speedrun of the game ! The game is more about poetry, and softness, but it amuse us to see this 2min38s run of our game
