It ain't easy for the first timers, especially when they're not designers and totally not programmers by profession.

We've started the day scrambling for ideas, concepts and the primary guideline was to do something that would fit in concept of Earth Day which marked the first day of LD38. Either showing the good or the bad side of human influence on the world.

Once we had the general idea what we wanted to do, we did have to scale down on it because we knew that we could not achieve everything in our free time over this weekend. Thus we decided to go with the world scroller game which puts player in the role of Entity in charge of keeping humanity (in the cities) alive by managing resources provided by farms and rivers.

Day one was concluded with working prototype of spinning world and resource consumption being implemented and we're looking forward to tomorrow where the major tasks still await.

Here is a short glimpse of today's event.
