This will be my 4th Ludum Dare. \u00a0I’m pleased with the results of the last two I participated in:<\/p>\n

Stargazer (LD23)<\/a> \u00a0and A Villain is YOU! (LD25)<\/a><\/p>\n

A bit sad I missed #24, but what can you do?<\/p>\n

In #23, my main goal was to make something simple and fun, something that felt complete. \u00a0I feel like I accomplished that rather nicely. \u00a0In #25, I wanted to do something I’ve never done before, and push the limits of what I could accomplish. \u00a0I had never done perlin noise generation before and am super happy with the results of level gen in that game.<\/p>\n

This time, I want to see how polished I can make my game. \u00a0I’ve decided to try and make a simple, catchy gameplay mechanic, and polish the appearance, sounds, and feel of the game as much as I can. \u00a0To force myself to keep the mechanic simple, I’m using a tool I’ve only barely touched, and should end up learning it nicely through the course of this weekend.<\/p>\n
