I'm in, my first Ludum Dare
I am an archetype of an Explorer who became addicted to games early on and based his career on a decision to make games.
... And then he falls into a corporate world trying to make money with his skills, but finds it is not his passion; he remembers that he got into IT for his passion, not for money.
But now he has some base capital, because he has undergone the discipline of work and uses them to finally use his creativity freely and express himself honestly, even tho he is stuck in an IT job that he uses just for financial support.
(of course, all of this is way deeper tham that, it took him years to find who he is, through studying Jungian psychology, mythology, doing Shadow work, and being a jack of all trades - dystopia writer, screenplay writer, movie director, photographer, editor, traveler, jiu jitsu beginner.. all that while studying to get master's in hacking, which used to be a passion, but stopped after he gained some moral understanding through Buddhism, then Taoism, then some.. spiritual trips.. and lately becoming stoic and existential. A realist, rather than idealist. Becoming who I am. But still an Explorer, a Seeker of meaning.
Hopefully he will use all of that and will put it into the game.
Framework: Want to use Unity, but probably gonna use GMS2 - faster for prototyping.
PS: The absolutely first game I played was Prince of Persia in 2000 and I made a first real game in 2014.
fav games: Dark Souls, Super Meat Boy, Inside, Limbo, Binding of Isaac, Hotline Miami, Fallout New Vegas, Half Life 2
