More on that later.\r\n\r\nOnce the themes were announced, Holo and I started brainstorming how to use the themes for our third Ludum Dare. One theme? Both? We decided to use both themes to make our game. We came up with the idea of a simple Katamari clone where you must grow the player by collecting things. Instead of using two buttons, we decided two axes was within the spirit of the theme.\r\n\r\nWe recently watched Clannad and so decided that our main character was going to be  dango. We didn't really come up with a \"story\" until the final day. You just want to be the biggest. Groundbreaking, eh?\r\n\r\nSo everything was going great. I was working on art while Holo was creating our layer controller, I wrapped some Christmas presents when Holo fell asleep LIKE A JERK!... We were making record time and then...\r\n\r\nMy computer died. Fuck.\r\n\r\nMy PSU crapped out on me at about 1am local time leaving me with no options to run out and buy a new one. After panic subsided, Holo came up with the brilliant idea for me to grab my ASUS tablet (+ keyboard attachment) and use Team Viewer to remote into his second PC. Across the continent. Oh boy.\r\n\r\nTruth be told, remoting actually wasn't that bad. The latency was acceptable and I could still sort of test the game and even touch up 3D models in Blender. I did all of the audio work using Team Viewer too, so I am pretty proud of that.\r\n\r\nWe had to make a few concessions due to technical difficulties to meet the deadline but hopefully once I get a new PSU this week we will be able to touch up the game to bring it to the level we had originally intended.","title":"Dangomari"}
