Ludum Dare 50

The first steps on Mars.

IT'S ON! Our little game jam hacker collective Dubious Potions is back for LD50. We're so excited. This year we split up into two groups. One VR and one 2d pixel team. We're the 2d pixel one ๐ŸŽ‰

What are we building you may ask?

We're building a Mars rover game where the battery has a very central spot, YAY!

48 hours of pixel art

During LD50 I had the (for me) unusual privilege to spend most of the weekend doing pixel art. Even though I do a lot of design, I usually spend most of my time writing code, and I almost never get to focus completely on the design.

I would love to hear you opinions on the end result: โžค Battery Low ๐Ÿ˜‡

It was so nice to dig deep into the art together with @mascoll. We started off spending 30 min finding a palett for the game. We decided on Interstate-28 which we then used for everything.

It was super nice to have a palette. This made sure that all our art matched even though we worked separately on different things.

I designed the logo, the computer on which the game was show, and the mars surface. @mascoll focused on the rover, the artwork, the minimap, and the science & energy artefacts. I'm so happy about our collaboration, especially since we never worked together before <3

Below you find some more examples of stuff I made for the game.
