As we’ve made lots of platformers in the pasts GGJ, we were looking for to make some top-down-ish<\/strong> game, soooo…<\/p>\n Our game will be called RED<\/strong>, which stands for Red Eyes in the Dark! (and we thought about it right before lunch, minimalism<\/strong> in the title, way to go!)<\/p>\n It is a game about a kid<\/strong> who is in his house alone and there’s a power outage<\/strong> in it, leaving him in the dark and only with a flashlight<\/strong> to guide his way to the outdoor moonlight. As if there wasn’t trouble enough already, it turned out that his batteries are drying<\/strong> out and his has little time to reach the light before they run out.<\/p>\n I<\/strong> am doing the game design and programming, Joao<\/strong> is making the assets and Pablo<\/strong> is having its way with the level designs.<\/p>\n We have some prototypes<\/strong> that somewhat work already, here are some pics of them:<\/p>\n RED ScreenShot<\/p><\/div>\n In this first screen we see the player moving and the red eye creature following him, the flashlight is not hitting the creature, so it is at full speed!<\/p>\n RED ScreenShot<\/p><\/div>\n In this second one you can see that the creature is illuminated by the flashlight, so its eyes close and it gets slower.<\/p>\n This jam is being quite the ride so far, we plan to get more assets done and stuff before tomorrow, where we will be in the event again and things get a little bit noisy there (btw, oh yeah, we are making the game while in the event, live! No stream though, what a shame… but here is a pic of us there, with the Ben Powell keynote in the background, so people will know what the hell we are doing there).<\/p>\n Our booth at Saga<\/p><\/div>\n Thanks<\/strong> for reading until here! More updates tomorrow! Have a good Ludum Dare!<\/strong><\/p>\n \n Tags: 2D<\/a>, dark<\/a>, eyes<\/a>, html5<\/a>, journal<\/a>, progress<\/a>, red<\/a><\/p>","time":"April 27th, 2013 5:18 pm","title":"RED \u2013 Day One WIP"}
\n The thing is, when he is in the dark, he starts to see glowing red eyes<\/strong> coming at him! OH NO<\/strong>!
\n However, when he aims<\/strong> at them with his flashlight, he is able to slow<\/strong> them down, giving him time to avoid them and make it safe to the light.<\/p>\n ![\"RED](\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/red1.png\")
