So after a rough night I am ready to get cracking. I think its a difficult theme but lets try to brainstorm some ideas.

Ludum dare 43

You are farmer boy that is being called by a god that needs several sacrifices from you of your farm. He will give you a tasks to get chickens,pigs,cows etc etc.

You family does no understand you and will try to stop you when you take an animal.

Objective: Give the god the sacrifices he wants in time. When a collection of sacrifices is made you will advance to the next stage.

Player: Farmer boy, the person that will get these sacrifices.

Defenders of the sacrifices : The farmers boy family.

Points: For every animal you sacrifice you get points and when the god is satisfied you will go to the next stage which give you an extra boost of point.

Optional: I am thinking ways how you can beat the defenders. You could kill them or just flee from them. Also can the defenders like capture you or also kill you. Still this needs to be answered but I already can start on the basics.

Program I am going to use:

Unity

Rider

Cinemachine package

Photoshop

Blender

For audio I dont know yet.

Sounds Simple

The idea sounds simple but as this is my first Ludum Dare I think this is a good one.

Alright lets get unity open and start coding

Alright got the basic player movement down. The clamping of the movement is a bit wonky but will do for now.

Getting close to a game loop but first some Food!

So all the basic elements are in place, time to get things nice and fun

I have a difficult time creating a character for this. So I started on the environment instead.

It was my first Ludum Dare and I enjoyed it a lot. Time for some good night sleep.
