Ludum Dare 48

We are in with my daughter !

Hi everyone !

We are jamming for the first time with my daugther (she's almost 9).

It will be simple because it's an excuse to learn programming for her. Be gentle, we are newbies.

For now, our game is a clicker where you need to dig deeper and deeper to find diamonds. With your diamonds you can "buy" more "dig".

More later, we are just in the beginning ;)

Main game mechanic : done. Now what ?

Hoplà,

Main mechanics are done. Now we have to brainstorm how to make it fun. "What is fun ?", THE big question !

And if we can add some sounds and graphics it will be nice.

Daughter, now, has a deeper and deeper understanding of programming.

By the way, we are programming with P5js. Simple enough to learn, wide enough to do anything we want ;)

Last tweaks before release

Make a game fun and playable is no simple task ! We (me and my 9 years old daughter) have been adding, subtracting, rethinking, tweaking a lot of bits and pieces.

Sounds have been added. Some graphical improvements. A never ending work !

There is school tomorrow but we will find time to validate and send the game to the Compo.
