Hi, I’ll be doing Ludum Dare.

My name is Tony Perriello, I’m a developer. I started making games for real about late last year. Felt like I hadn’t created enough to produce something I would be happy with in 72 hours, but I feel ready now!

I’ll be collaborating with artist dopoko: http://hurritoisdrawing.tumblr.com/

My dev tool will be Flixel.

Excited and stressed and nervous and thrilled, okay bye.

Well. My first Ludum Dare with @darwinscoat is officially complete.

When the minimalism theme was first revealed, we tried to get away from the first gut interpretation of the word i.e. abstract art, etc. We started talking about the idea of someone living a minimalist lifestyle, and the idea of a game about a nomad came to mind.

It made sense from there to try to make an Oregon Trail clone where you’re traveling from Point A to Point Z, and along the way you need to maintain general well-being. You do so in this game with various items you come across. What each one does is kept a mystery.

This was an awesome experience, and there’s a really good foundation to build on from here!

If you take some time to check it out, thanks now, onto playing some awesome LD games.

I’m in I guess, I wasn’t going to do this Ludum Dare due to other obligations. But, thanks to the theme and thanks to a super cool idea I have that shouldn’t take too much time to implement I’m doing it WOO.

Going to develop this either in HaxeFlixel or Stencyl, haven’t decided.
