Posting I’m In! seems like what I am supposed to do.

Hello I’m In!

This is my first Ludum Dare.  I am going to try for compo.  To be 100% honest if I complete this it will be the first game I have ever completed.  To add on to my stress I am going to try to do both themes.

Also I am streaming my slow slow progress. http://www.twitch.tv/jumpmengaming/

My First Ludum Dare Complete!

I can not believe I made it.  I was right down to the wire.  Check it out http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=60667

Sharing my idea. Does it fit the theme?

Hey,

I know I am probably asking for my idea to be stolen but it is what it is lol.  I have 2 pages of brainstorming and this is the only idea I like but I feel like it doesn’t really fit the theme and people are going to score me down.

Basically the concept is you are in a village where a werewolf has killed someone.  You have to talk to all the villagers during the day to gather clues.  Then at night you get to imprison someone in the jail because you think it’s them.  In the morning if no one has died you win that level, if someone else has died you know it’s not that person and you gather more clues.

There is a “shapeshifter” but there won’t be able real shape shifting going on. Am I just asking to be scored down? or do you guys think this fits the theme enough?

Thanks for your help.

-Tom

I find the most creative and non-literal interpretations of the themes the most interesting, so I say go for it.

Lookup a web game called “Town of salem”. Very similar and it’s super fun.

themes are always open to interpretation and there is no right or wrong answer for if it fits the theme. id say it does as it is similar to what i am doing as well! good luck and go with whatever you feel you can make. theme isnt that important anyway

Ultimately, you’re in this to challenge yourself and enjoy creating a game (hopefully a game that you yourself would play). I think the most important question to ask is this: would you enjoy making the game, and would you enjoy playing it. If both of those boxes are checked, and the idea even barely relates to the theme, go for it!

I would play your game based on that description. Sounds like a single player version of “Weerwolven van Wakkerdam”.

OK cool. Thank you guys for being so supportive 😀 I did not expect that. I do have a lot of ideas for this and I am not at all excited about any of my other ideas. So here we go!

I think its pretty much perfect.

Full Version of Full Moon Valley

Due to all the positive feedback both on and off and the web I have been motivated to make a full version of my entry formerly known as Full Moon Village I renamed it to Full Moon Valley.

This is just the beginning. New Title Screen:

FullMoonValley
