Ludum Dare 45 is tomorrow! I've been looking forward to this for weeks. I've taken Friday, Monday, and Tuesday off of work, and I'm gonna sleep in Friday to prepare and sleep in Tuesday to recover. I'm really looking forward to getting to build a game again after getting hammered so hard with work recently.

Anyone else participating? I've got openings on my team.

If you need art or UI things, I can pitch in. :0

Stabbsworth · Posted 10-04-2019, 10:47 AM

would join if i could, but i need to get more experience with everything tbh.

Coda · Posted 10-04-2019, 01:44 PM

What better way to get experience than to try to do something with people who already have it?

Espy · Posted 10-04-2019, 02:05 PM

Hah, knew Void would be interested. Called it last Ludum Dare.

Coda · Posted 10-04-2019, 06:45 PM

The theme is "start with nothing".

And...

We got nothin'.

Well, I guess that's as good a start as any?

Espy · Posted 10-04-2019, 07:18 PM

...Really? That's the theme?

Coda · Posted 10-04-2019, 08:06 PM

Yeah, that's the theme. We're STILL struggling with brainstorming up something that would actually be fun to play. Starting with nothing implies an early-game grind so you don't have nothing anymore, and if we can't capture the player's attention in the first couple minutes it's just bad news from there.

We've got some rough ideas that might work...

Coda · Posted 10-04-2019, 09:01 PM

Three hours into the jam and I think we might have something!

Espy · Posted 10-05-2019, 12:00 AM

Oh? Now I'm curious.

Coda · Posted 10-05-2019, 12:50 AM

Kinda like Tron, you're a strong antivirus program fighting to protect your system, but when there's a massive system crash you're barely able to escape. There's only enough bandwidth to get your core program out.

Starting again with nothing, you set out to travel the network, recompile yourself, battle the corruption, and destroy the worm that attacked your home.

Espy · Posted 10-05-2019, 01:01 AM

...Okay, this, I've got to play, after you're all done.

Stabbsworth · Posted 10-05-2019, 11:49 AM

mm, i have a concept. basically you're in the void, and a colourful thing spawns every second. you can collect it, or ignore it to let it accumulate.

Coda · Posted 10-05-2019, 12:12 PM

Tell me more. How does gameplay proceed? What's your objective?

Stabbsworth · Posted 10-05-2019, 01:14 PM

i honestly have no idea other than a brief concept. could use some refinement tbh.

legally could probably be considered an idle game.

Coda · Posted 10-05-2019, 01:15 PM

I meant I'm encouraging you to flesh it out.
