Well I did it. My first ever Ludum Dare.

Let me start off by saying sorry. I can't make sounds or music, nor can I do Graphics, so it is very much lacking in that department. This is something that I very much want to do for the next Ludum Dare. Between now and the next one I'm going to learn how to use Photoshop/GIMP and Blender.

It took me a fairly long time to work out the game that I wanted to make. I at first wanted to do some kind of Idle game where the player needs to wait for stuff to power up, but also trying to complete the game as fast as possible. Nothing really came to mind for that area. Was then trying to think of two genres which don't mix at all, and in doing so I came up with MiniGolf Bullet Hell.

For the Game. Controls are as follows: "A" and "D" will spin you around to look. "Space" will power you up the bar at the bottom, the more filled up the more power is put into the shot, releasing it will shoot you. "Mouse2" will turn on your shield. This will drain the bar at the bottom. Use all of it and it will cool down, not allowing you to use it again for a short amount of time. "R" will restart the level if you lose all of your lives.

Even though there isn't much to see, I'm still really happy with what I managed to make. 48 hours isn't a lot of time to come up with an idea, design and plan it out, make it, debug it whilst also working on stuff you normally do on a weekend.

For next Ludum Dare, I will try and carve out the entire weekend just for the project and focus as much as I can on it.
