I used the theme generator and got “Journey to the bottom of the sea”.

Well so far, I’ve got just that.

There is a sea, which is sea-like (layered water sprites with sine movement), a bottom to sea and a submarine that journeys there. Also some quite useless fish! It takes just over one minute to get to the bottom.

What’s missing? Actual gameplay.

I’ve yet to decide what the goal is (besides getting to the bottom, obviously) and what obstacles will be presented in achieving said goal.

aaand I’m nearly done with my warm-up!

The goal is to collect coins and survive your journey to the bottom of the sea by avoiding the sea mines.

I’m going to sleep now, but tomorrow I will finish it off and submit.

You can play it now if you’d like by clicking this link.

What’s left to add?

Title screen

Brief opening adding just the tiniest amount of plot

a win state

a “Wealth” meter in HUD

Music (possibly)

It’s done!

I managed to finish everything I said I would add (except for music), so I feel pretty good about calling this complete.

Apparently I can’t submit it though, presumably because I already submitted a warmup. Is it one entry per account? I thought Ludum Dare allowed you to enter as many games as you’d like.

Oh well, here is the link to the final version anyway.

I’ll be entering something in the compo.

This is my first LD and I am an incredinoob so don’t expect anything too nice, but whatever I have at the end of the weekend will be submitted.

[khajiit mode]  No backing out for this one..  [/khajiit mode]

I will be using Construct 2, GIMP 2, sfxr and autotracker-bu.

in the meantime, have a kitten:

at least it has a kitten
