My First Update
So this is my first attempt at Ludum Dare… so far it seems to be going okay!
I woke up incredibly late after a night of no sleep. Then I crawled out of bed and started brainstorming ideas until inspiration struck in the form of a Mitchell and Webb comedy sketch. So the overall idea for the game is that you are pitching your genius plans to a board of investors and have to ‘deal’ with people as fear and doubt gets the better of them.
By about 2pm I’d managed to wrestle with my C# classes and get my XNA game working in the most pre-alpha sense:
I’ve since then started improving how the game looks and works, I’m going to add more traps and things and put in an end-game mechanic soon… but I’m gonna take a break for a few as I’m feeling pretty knackered. Here is a video of it as it is right now – the people start to panic more when the people around them start dying.
Heck… even if the game isn’t done for the competition submission… I’m still enjoying making it.
