I am joining LD for the first time, from Belgium with a 3 person group. After charging our power so we don't run out of power so quickly (1 to 5 am - Belgian time zone) and gathering our 3 person group together, we decided to go with a rogue-like game. At the end of 1 hour discussions, we quickly settled the story and the design. Our game is called 'Thirst'. Its about a mermaid got lost in the city sewers during a long hot summer day, dehydrated, dying of thirst. Searching her way back on a dry beach that drains her power, she has to survive finding water to stay alive and avoid being the dinner of other hungry creatures crawling on the beach. In the game you need to use water as your power source and try to find the sewer that leads the heroine to the sea directly. Already made a lot of progress on the layout, and next update will be the mermaid, and the other creatures. :)

You can follow the evolution of the game at Togis's Twitter page @ https://twitter.com/TogisLp . He will also announce his Twitch from there as he plays plenty other games of others designers after LD finishes.

Happy LD everyone, see u soon ;)

Meet our heroine the mermaid! Still don't know how to call her though :D

After 12 hours of LD, our gameplay slowly started to show up. Trying to find the sewer that connects our heroine to the sea by assembling the tiles together. But those tiny bastards are on the way :D

2nd day, working hard!! Our mermaid still tries to find the sewer that connects her to the sea. Water is her power,she has to find some on the map. Each time she moves and fights with enemy creatures she is drained.

Today, we are working on the game play, trying to balance the game. Here is a simple short version. ;)

Exploding some beach creatures!!

Yesterday we decided to put levels in the game, so level by level things can go a little crazy :D Here is our new level enemies, crawling out of the sewers!! A crocodile and a poisonous frog! ;)

Ok, I never managed to pass level 3, its toooo haaard!! :D

Hey ladies and gentlemen, we are almost reaching the end of our game. Crazy challenging and fun 3 days are nearly behind us. We all deserve a celebration :D We wanted to share with you the victory scene of our game. Enjoy ( happy dance) :D

Today I am quickly designing the office environment of the game 'date night' where you have to finish your tasks and reach your date in time before your boss submerges you deeper and deeper in endless tasks ! Too realistic ? Maybe... :D
I am using Blockbench for the first time

1-day update of 'Date Night' a LD48 game where you need to finish your tasks before being submerged deeper and deeper into endless tasks ! After a hard day of work, I am off to get some sleep. See you tomorrow !

Good morning folks ! Who is diving deeper and deeper into their coffee first thing in the morning? :P Enjoy !
