Well it's time for another Ludum Dare! This will be my third time, and my goal is polish! The last two times, I took on somewhat overly-ambitious ideas and barely got the game complete in time. That said I am proud of those games (https://ldjam.com/users/katastudios/games) and am planning to again use my custom Kata Engine!

The Depths is an open world exploration and treasure hunting game. The world generation and submarine controls took the vast majority of my time so I never got time to make sub-building and upgrading.

Relica is a 3d roguelike in a castle with ever shifting procedural dungeons - again I ran out of time to make satisfying item progression because 3D combat, enemy design, and dungeon generation took most of the time.

So in addition to attempting a smaller scale this time, I also have help this time! My wife who is a wonderful artist and writer will be joining the team! Can't wait for the theme voting to wrap up so we can begin!!
