The Theme was One of My Suggestions… and I Can’t Participate This Time :(
Yup, that was my theme. Well, it could easily have been a duplicate, but the theme is written exactly as I had written it. I see that some people don’t like it, which, in hindsight, I can see why, but I think it’s still really awesome since it allows for a huge range of possible games, but puts the challenge on screen allocation – something that is not usually though of in normal game design.
The sucky thing is that I have the SAT’s tomorrow, a pasta bridge to build for engineering class, a radio show skit project due in AP US History, a weekly Youtube devlog to make, a group meeting for my main game project, and a but-ton of other school or extracurricular stuff to do over this weekend. If this LD was last week or a week later, then I would be able to make it work, but this weekend is out of the question. So, while I am overwhelmingly excited that my theme got chosen and I’m really looking forward to see how it’ll turn out for people, I am also super bummed that I can’t participate.
I even had a pretty neat idea for a game for this sort of theme, and I might still make it into a game at some point, but for now, I’ll just put it on the backburner.
