Is this still required? I'll try to make something for the competition.

It sure is clever of the LD folks to pick the worst theme; that way nobody has their game planned out in advance and everyone is equally disappointed.

Looks like I'm veering into horror again, which means it will involve that time-honoured tradition: the extremely expendable guard.

I've never really been one to use much placeholder art. Often I find that my games make heavy use of contextual animations and the mechanics are kind of built on that. The style for the game came to me pretty quickly after I had worked out the mechanics, and it will definitely involve lots of unlucky security professionals.

LEGION is now up and playable. The balance transformed quite drastically over the last few hours but I think it ended it in a good place. I have no idea whether players will find it too hard or too easy - I never do.
