Hello! I am a person who is participating in Ludum Dare for the first time right now! Also, who likes exclamation marks! I realize that 20 hours remaining is a bit late to be making a “here I am” post, but I suppose it’s better late than never.

My game is about a schizophrenic who just wants to be left alone. It was originally going to be a stealth game, but it has now changed to more of an exploration game due to my complete inability to code AI and pathfinding enemies distracting from the plot.  I’m aiming to submitting it for the compo, but I’ll probably end up running out of time and submitting it to the jam instead.

Unfortunately, it would seem I have a family lunch I was unaware of until just about half an hour ago. Looks like I’m just going to have to go with the jam

Oh well, at least this means I can get a friend to do the some of the graphics for me. I suppose the moral of the story is “unexpected delays can make your game not look like shit”

It would appear that (despite my taking the extra day) I was still unable to get a game done. I use the term “done” loosely here, since I did technically finish my game. The only problem is that it consists of one good (but short) level, two bad levels, one ending which is just a pop-up text box, and one ending in which a character who has just been introduced proceeds to arbitrarily betray the player. It’s a narrative focused game, and most of the writing is not good at all.

I suppose that my not finishing the game isn’t too bad, though. This is my first game jam, after all, and I’m not necessarily going to get it right on the first try. Also, I’ve this is my first time making a narrative focused game. So in the end I didn’t get it done, but I learned a lot (okay, maybe not a lot. But at least something) and will do better next time

The only good part of the whole game
