It’s been.. 9 hours! I’ve amassed 500+ screenshots and settled on something achievable! But this is just a milestone..

I have myself a temporary menu/state handler, and a good deal of prototype code – I spent 2 hours after the theme was announced brainstorming and had a lot of ideas to balance out! Here are some ideas which came out that I rejected:

• Implication of danger/attack (intense atmosphere)
• Items of power (balanced gameplay is important to me)
• Paranoia
• Emotional independence
• Clones
• Dying if alone
• Wildcard: honeytraps

Here are the idea I’m adopting:

• Survival
• Trails (tracking or tracing paths)
• Distractions/focus
• Context sensitivity
• Separation

I made some concept art with some distorted perspective which I’m growing fond of.. I think an extra dimension will bring it more to life?

Either way – sleep is next on my agenda.
