Hi There, it\u2019s Sunfury<\/a>! \u00a0\":)\"<\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t post anything yet cuz we were hard\u00a0in the developing proccess,\nTo sum up, we could be in a way deeper progress of a\u00a0game. (everyone says that? ><)<\/p>\n

Our force for this ludum dare contains:<\/strong>\nRom\u00a0and\u00a0Tom-Programmers sitting next to each other and working non-stop\u00a0(full time)\nArtur-Pro Designer\u00a0(when he doesn\u2019t work)\nIlya-Pro Designer\u00a0(when he doesn\u2019t work)<\/p>\n

Our First Day:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We thought about making a physic game using levers\/swing as\u00a0ancient technology, this is what we came up with:<\/p>\n

\"Kingeat<\/p>\n

\"Shootexample<\/p>\n

All tough it came up\u00a0kinda fun and funny, we saw no potential in keep developing it (it may be too repetitive)<\/p>\n

We reconsidered our options, thinking about more\u00a0ancient technologies and we came up with pulleys (video)<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>.\nWe decided to take the risk and test those pulleys.<\/p>\n

after wasting \u00a0like 5 hours thinking about these pulleys and how we gonna make them intersting we crashed.\nDay 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We wasted most of day 2 testing and trying to implement the most fun yet realistic\u00a0physics and gameplay.\nWorking with Game Maker using Box2D, we tried using built in pulley \u00a0joints, but we found it too basic for our needs.<\/p>\n

after hours of work in the end of day 2,\u00a0we\u00a0ended up with this:<\/p>\n

\"Wegotsomthing<\/p>\n

You\u00a0play as a\u00a0well-known\u00a0architect in Egypt, you\u2019re there to solve their problems and well, mainly help them build their pyramids.\nyou do it by\u00a0stretching ropes through the map.\nThe more we played with these mechanics the more we saw what a great potential\u00a0this game\u00a0has, hopefully we will think of some great puzzles\u00a0tomorrow<\/p>\n

Day 3 Plans:<\/strong><\/p>\n

-polishing (physics, effects, sounds\u2026)\n-challanging puzzles\n-combining designs<\/p>\n

hopefully, we\u2019ll finish this game\u00a0and make it somthing we\u2019re proud of and hopefully somthing you\u2019ll like too \u00a0!<\/p>\n

if you guys can think of any interesting ideas to make our\u00a0game better we would LOVE\u00a0to hear them and give you credits of course if we use them \u00a0\":)\"<\/strong>\nYours truly, SunFury<\/a><\/p>\n
