I’ve considered in the past, but I was either too busy or didn’t feel like I had enough tools or experience for the job. But this LD seems like the time for me to go yolo and solo and do the best that I can! (Provided that no interruptions happen)
My tools for the job:
Good luck to everyone and may your dares be in your favor!
Been up thinking about this theme for a while. I was pretty stumped when I first saw the theme when it was first announced. For my first LD to participate it, this was a bad start for me. But I finally got an idea that I can (hopefully) implement to submit to the jam (no guarantees though).
Basically, you are a vampire in a dark forest who is trying to kill all travelers who wandered into the forest. Your life depends on killing these people, since it restores some of your blood. You’ll need to creep behind them (they’ll have flashlights) and drain their blood without getting seen. It would kind of be a stealth-like game, with places that you can hide, etc.
In all honesty, I’m not too sure if I could finish all of this within 2 days. So at most, I’ll concentrate on implementing the very essential concepts.
Alright, enough pondering around, let’s get some sleep. Good luck to everyone else!
So I’ve decided that I will not be finishing LD for this round. I initially wanted to participate in this LD because I thought I had enough time, experience, and decent tools to at least make a semi-decent prototype. I am decent at programming and know the basics of game logic. I also chose Unity because I figured that it has the capabilities and flexibility of making a simple game. However as I soon come to realize, there was so much about Unity I don’t know, and I find myself having to look at the documentation at various times. Basically, I was more stressed and confused than having fun during this LD. So I think I should back away for now.
This is not to say that I will quit LD. I just simply made a mistake of using something I don’t know deeply about. Provided that I will have the time for it, I’ll will most likely participate in the next LD, as well as future LD’s if I can!
