Gamelapse video
Hello,
I had a little idea for this Ludum Dare, and it was the first thing I implemented.
Instead of ye olde Timelapse, I decided to create something I decided to dub a ‘Gamelapse’. Essentially, instead of making screenshots of my entire screen, I decided to let my game make screenshots of itself every 5-ish seconds. I made a video of my progress up till now, and I hope some of you will have a look and tell me if you like this better or worse than a ‘normal’ timelapse.
As for my progress, my original idea was for a Post-apocalyptic survival simulator. For some reason, that evolved in a red Imp (you can see it in the gamelapse) – so right now it seems more of a Dungeon Keeper clone than anything post-apocalyptic survival-esque, but what can you do. I do intend to add some survival elements, but it’ll probably be a hodgepodge of game ideas, and I hope it works out well.
Right now I have my imp running around and digging stuff, and I was just beginning on different tools for some base-building esque-escapades. Or something.
