Will be my first ludumdare. Gonna try my hardest to get something up and running in xna – have only just started using it.

Will also be using Photoshop and ProTools, to try write some quick little tunes to go with it! Also have a couple of uni assignments to work on, so hopefully can get it all done!

Good luck all

First proper Ludum Dare here (entered previously, but never really even started).

I’m going to be using Unity, Ableton, Photoshop and Illustrator.

So far in the middle of brainstorming a bunch of ideas. The ones that have the most potential are underwater focused, but these seem to be a bit unoriginal based on a lot of other people’s posts, so I want to spend a little more time brainstorming.

Going to bed now (it’s just past midnight here). Here’s what I’ve got so far. Ignore the crappy placeholder assets:

Overall I’m very happy with what I produced this year.

Being in New Zealand, where the competition starts mid-Saturday and ends mid-Monday, I missed a bit of dev time due to work, but I still managed to submit a playable game. In my game you play as the legendary Kraken, and must destroy ships by smashing into them with your body and tentacles. My goal was to create a game that I would enjoy playing, and I’ve succeeded in that.

Have a play and vote for it here:
