convert people into your cult by bothering them to death.

Also, this is my first LD jam. Focusing on the code for right now, figured it'll be a great way to learn. It took me way too long to achieve this, lol. Was aiming to do compo, but probably won't make it in time, we'll see :joy:

Gonna catch a quick nap, Best of luck to everyone! :grin:

Tick Tock

Whelp, look at the time, most likely won't make it to compo, hahaha! :sweat_smile:

Quite happy with the progress so far though. I've learned a lot! Most of the mechanics are done, I also did a basic UI placeholder.

At the end of each cycle, if you don't have enough foods, your followers will turn into demons. You gain foods by killing townspeople, or even your own followers. The character has 6 moves at his disposal: command/move followers, basic melee attack, beam/ray attack, some kind of meteor strike, healing spell, and conversion spell.

All that's left to do is making the arts, particle fx, and other fun stuff! yay! :grin:

Sci Fi Wololo

Man, Compo is brutal :joy: I guess I'll just submit to Jam then. Started working on the character art, here is the first iteration

look okay in a still image, but unfortunately just didn't work with the game. It didn't match the movement that I was going for. So after a bit of experimentation, here are the new one. probably just use the one above for menu or something.

From left to right: The Statue of Refrigodrator, townspeople, cultist, High Priest, and Demon Imp. just a few more characters, then I will start with the UI!

The Cult of Refrigodrator (and question about hosting)

Late blog post, Yay! was going to write some post before, but kinda need all the time to actually work on the game :joy: and here is how the level actually look in the editor:

The Cult of Refrigodrator is a game about a refrigerator worshipping cult. Quite happy with how the game turned out, there are some features and ideas that have to be cut down, and I ran out of time to put the sound effects in, unfortunately.

Check the game here:

Also, is it okay to edit game description after? and I noticed that a lot of people use itch as hosting, is it better to use itch? is it more convenient for people to download and play?

Bunch of boxes

Participating in my 2nd Ludum Dare, this time as a team. Because I got really overwhelmed last time.

Gonna do some vfx and polish next. :smile:

Menu and GUI

It was a quite productive day, I guess. Polished and animated the menu a little bit more, added some particles. (Gotta add those particles, can't have enough of em :stuckouttongue: )

created a quick mockup of the GUI.

I also made some particle fx for death/despawn and hit fx. Passed it along to @ilhamhe and @ebinkatsu. Now, maybe I'll catch some sleep, or not. Who knows??
