I’m in, for my first ever Ludum Dare 😀

I’ve been really tempted to participate in the past but I’ve always had something else on, and this time I have my whole weekend free to work on my game! I’m attempting the comp but if everything goes sideways I’ll switch to the jam.

I think I’m going to use Twine, but I’m not completely decided yet. Partly because I think it will make it more… achievable for me to submit for the comp, and also I’m a game design student and my dissertation proposal skirts near the topic of narrative in games and story games. So hopefully this will be an interesting experiment for me.

Anyway, good luck everyone participating this weekend, have fun!

My game actually isn’t doing too badly! I think it might actually be done in time to submit for the compo

I’m finding Twine nice and easy to work with, but I probably should have used it a bit more before this weekend. I keep finding way more efficient ways of doing things after I’ve already done them!

…and back to work.

Gonna put in a few more hours of work before I call it a day. Feel like the game is going pretty well! Definitely more than half written, just need to tie up the loose ends. Plan on spending a few hours tomorrow checking the spelling and grammar, and trying to make sure I’ve not made any huge mistakes. All being well though I should be submitting soon 😀

Woo, just submitted my first ever Ludum Dare game :3

I finished at 6pm and then just had to check my spelling and grammar, which somehow ended up taking me 4 hours! Which is about 3 hours longer than I’d expected! It took so long because I had to go through 87 different windows for each passage, and I was also trying to check that no links were broken or anything like that, but still >.<

So my Twine game is finished with:

27947 characters

5043 words

87 passages/pages

5 unique endings

Here’s a screen shot of how the passages looked by the end. Pretty messy, lesson for next time would be to organize them better from the start.
