Hey guys – off to a late start but I’m in!\u00a0 Had a long drive home last night so I waited til 9 to leave so I could think about the theme all the way home, and I think I came up with a cool idea.\u00a0 Very excited to implement it; I definitely think it’s possible to end up with a much more finished product than my last two entries, but we’ll see.<\/p>\n

I haven’t decided on a name yet, but I’m making an arcade-style puzzle game that takes place in the human body.\u00a0 You have to coordinate your immune system’s defenses against ever-increasing waves of pathogens.\u00a0 I’m going to attempt to make it as factual as possible, but gameplay will win out between the two if it comes down to that.\u00a0 My goal is to get all the gameplay implemented today so I can focus on balancing, polish, and music tomorrow.\u00a0 This should be much better than my previous strategy of rolling my face on the keyboard until a game comes out.\u00a0 It’ll be nice to (hopefully) have real music for my game for once!<\/p>\n

I’ll keep everyone updated!\u00a0 I’m also going to try to get more external playtests during the competition this time, so I might post again looking for any interested people in a few hours.<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>","time":"April 21st, 2012 8:48 am","title":"Delayed \u2018I\u2019m In\u2019"}
