Done with my game [The Lonely Captain]

36 hours after me reading the theme, my game is done.

It's a small game in which you steer a vessel based on sonar data. The game is mostly about enjoying the story and the mood though. screenshot.PNG

This game was my first ever Compo entry, before this I only did the Jam, with a team of friends. The biggest challenge to me was sound design, because I designed my game around having minimal art.

I in the end decided to go for a sound design that may not be the nicest to listen to, but that does the theme of the game really well; I use a single low bass drone note, with, on top of that, notes based on the sonar of the ship. To keep it listenable, I decided to keep all the sonar notes within a scale.

In the end I'm quite happy with the result, and actually finish with some time left.
