So originally I planned to make a 2d platformer,\u00a0since the only other game I have ever made was a 2d platformer (The Well<\/a><\/a>) and the experience gained from it would be useful. The environment and character would be made using either black and white squares or coloured ones. I started working on it, decided to browse the compo page and saw a hundred other people with the same idea! I decided to scrap that idea to work on something more original. I decided to make a mini stock game where you buy and sell shares to try to make money. After planning it out, I realised it would probably come out pretty boring. Finally…<\/p>\n

I have started making a 2d side-scrolling game where you have to navigate a rocket through an asteroid field. I hope the art style and the simple gameplay qualify me for the theme, and the picture below shows my day 1 progress. I don’t have as much time to work on this as some other people as I live on the other side of the world and have to book into camp tonight. I really hope I complete my first LD entry and hope it turns out well. Thanks for the inspiration to ACTUALLY make a game instead of half completing a dozen!<\/p>\n

\"Preview!\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I will also be making some posts about the game on my website once I finish it, so check it out!\u00a0http:\/\/www.custardgames.com<\/a><\/p>\n \n
