Oh jeez, I g.guess I'm in ?!

This will be my first Ludum Dare ! I'm excited but also very nervous as it's the first time I decide to make a "public appearance" with my professional skills (let's hope it won't be the last one). I'm mainly a developer and I hope you'll forgive me for my Developer Graphics Skills 2000 ©️. Well, I guess it's all I have to say for now, let's hope it'll not be all I'll be able to produce during this jam.

Ideas I won't use, so it's all yours

An idea's worth nothing, except here, maybe that'll help, here are some of my brainstorming ideas that I'm giving away. If an idea seems a little bit too abstract, don't hesitate to ask for clarifications if it's something you'd like to dig.

  • A game where you have to place furnitures delivered to your door; The delivery guy is coming to your door on a regular or random interval and you have to get smart about the placement you chose to not get overwhelmed; If you run out of space, you lose.
  • A city is growing with restricted resources. You have to manage your budget to be able to grow and buy new land for new inhabitants; The budget comes from taxes, which comes from people, you also have to make sure people have a job to keep them paying taxes; if you're bankrupt, game over, if you're not able to house a certain amount of new inhabitants (let's say it's a country rule that you have to have x new inhabitants per day/year/etc..), game over.
  • You're a consulting company, you start alone and you have to do contracts. You have to grow by employing new people to get new contracts. You're limited in space, so you have to buy new desks or places. If you employ someone and you don't have space left, he/she can't work. People cost money (yeah, like in real life you know); If you're late on your contracts, your clients will not be happy and you get penalties. If you're bankrupt, you lose.
  • You run a warehouse of

Hey ! I'm probably in ... or not .. I don't know, we'll see

Hey, for once, I think I'll be able to finish this jam (or not, as the title suggested).

This is the story of a flower.

A sweet, sweet flower.

And the character.

The friendly character.

There is not a lot of things in here.

But I'm alive.

And my flower is alive.

We love to be alive.

Maybe someone will come ?

I'm waiting by my flower.

She needs something to eat.

There is not a lot of things in here.

Maybe someone will come ?

My sweet, sweet flower.

As you may have noticed (or not), my game will be hugely inspired by Salad Fingers, maybe less creepy, maybe more, I don't know yet, but I have a good feeling. Waiting by my flower.

Introducing you, the spacé and Eddy

Who put this spacébar under my stuff !?

I now have to do an action to do an action, this has no sense.

Ha ! I see my friend Eddy Cutentale coming.

Hello Eddy.

Maybe he'll be able to help me with this trapdoor.

My sweet flower is still here.

My sweet, sweet flower.

Who put this spacé in here ?

My sweet flower.

Hello Eddy.

Eddy is my neighbour, I like Eddy, he's friendly

Someone filmed the last time we met.

I like Eddy.

He's friendly.

My flower is not that strong.

But I like my flower.

My sweet, sweet flower.

Eddy.

Not that strong.

The end is in 02:31:50 . This is sad. This is not fine.

I maybe scoped a little bit too much.

What you'll have will be the result of 20 hours of work.

This is not fine.

This is not nice.

But it will be done.

Bad animations.

No music.

Silly story.

This will be the worst game of the planet.

If it can be called a game.

At least, the flower is alive.

The sweet, sweet flower.

Oh. Hello doggy.

48 minutes ... my poor flower.

The game is bad.

Really bad.

But it will be done.

Really done.

So, you will have to use your imagination.

Imagine the game is good.

Imagine the game is great.

And then, this is a good game.

Is it a game ?

Eddy ?

New press review : "Underwhelming is an understatement" *Not a video game mag*

It was supposed to be good.

It was supposed to be fun.

It was supposed to be creepy.

It was supposed to be smart.

It's dumb, very bad, as creepy as a TV remote, and as smart as the car.

No music. No animations. A fcking mini-game which threw away almost all my dev time and is not half fun.

At least I have Scott Joplin.

And Eddy.

Nice Eddy.

My sweet flower.

Me and Eddy are having fun.

You will not.

But it's done.

I'm done.

Hello Eddy.

Hello flower.

Don't play it in your browser !

Sweet, sweet browser.

Oh ! Hello friends ! We want to thank you. Me and Eddy. Friendly Eddy.

Hello there !

Me and Eddy have been overwhelmed by all you people, sweet, sweet people.

Thanks a lot to everyone who liked our adventure, it was a fun adventure, a nice adventure, a sweet adventure.

Someone told me something will happen from all this, something good, something tasty.

Something with music.

And sound.

And Eddy.

My friend Eddy.

And animations.

Sweet, sweet animations.

Anyway, just took this picture with my fella, Eddy, felt cute, might delete later.
