Team Pretty signing in, finally.

First we thought we wouldn’t do it, since the theme was quite hard to implement in this time. Got lots of ideas, but most of them would require lots of writing and time, which we didn’t have. But finally we got a horrible idea and decided to go for it.

The game is basically done, hopefully will still have time to tweak some more features in. It will most likely offend some people, but that’s what art is about, right? So clearly our game is art. Whee!

We didn’t want to go for a literal way of doing it and we didn’t want it to be a monster. We wanted it to be the monster, as the theme states. Also we didn’t want to just post something random, silly or not-really-a-game-but-I-want-to-have-something.

So, Visual Studio and Paint Shop Pro open, Monogame in and off to write everything from scratch. Engines are so boring and take away the fun, so just say no.

There. The current main page for our monster game. I’m sure you can’t wait to play it!

Only three votes? :'(

Hey, what’s up? Only three votes for our game at this point? No fair!

Go on, try it out! Westboro Binge needs you! Let’s make the world righteous!

I know, it requires downloading and running. Lots of trouble. But not everything can be web…

The more games YOU rate the more people will see your game, and so you should have more votes. How many games did you rate?

I can’t play it since it is only for Windows. Consider make a Linux, OS/X or Web version if possible to get more players.

You only gave 5 votes? :'(

Hey, what’s up? Only 5 votes on other games at this point? No fair!

I’m serious. Most people at the end of each Ludum Dare rate on 100 games, and some even go to 500. If you just rate 20, you will most like get around 25 votes on your game. Don’t complain if you only have rated 5 other games yourself.

A tip, be sure to rate games of peaple who rates you, it’s a kind and fair way to “live” the Ludum Dare spirit. Another tip, be honest when you rate, but be also gentle (don’t use machete when you rate and/or comment a game), we are all people who tried to build something in a short time, some good and constructive critic is welcome as it makes us improve, hard and unkind criticism doesn’t help at all.

That said, I’m going to rate your game mate! 馃榾
