LD31

Theme vs Mechanic

Some discussions really bring out the devils advocate,

 

If the entire game must exist within one screen, mechanically, you cannot introduce new elements, they must all exist within the screen.. enemies, pop ups, title screen, ALL must exist in one screen right?

If its a theme.. well, I can pack alot of game(slaughetered animals) into my (specially designed) suitcase before I get screened as I cross the border..

Or, if we’re playing on a japanese dividing screen… it could be a whole map and I’m just looking at part of the ‘screen’

but I digress… mechanically.. surely all elements must be visible from the start?

Engine done.. now for some graphics

Lost in Site

I don’t know if this is just me, I can’t seem to navigate around the site too easily.

 

There was some great articles about this LD31 Theme being ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and I was following along, but now I can’t find it..

Is there some way to keep a history of viewed posts?
