First LD, I’m doing this!

This is my first Ludum, and I’m pretty excited. I thought about doing Javascript and HTML5, but I think I’m gonna go with Unity4 for this instead, so I don’t get too bogged down. I’m not sure what all I’m supposed to put in here, but I saw everyone else posting “I’m in” posts. Good luck everyone!

My basic idea… so far

Ok, so I got a late start, and had to go shopping prior to getting started. Here is what I’m thinking so far for my idea. It needs fleshed out, but I think it could be interesting.

You are a cube who can harness the power from the environment around you. You don’t enjoy using this power though, because the power you use comes from the environment, sucking the life out of everything. If an area has been bled dry, then you are powerless. Unfortunately you must use your powers, as your [insert plot device here] and you must [insert end goal here].

Cube can pull ‘power’ from the environment. When cube does this, the ‘power’ drains from the specific object. This is indicated by the color fading from the object. If an object has no color, then no power can be pulled from it. This adds a level of strategy to the game, knowing when to use your power, and how to most efficiently use it will be a key to success.

 

I’ll probably post again once I get some stuff moving around in game.

… screenshot anyone?

Ok, so here’s my first screenshot, just using Unity’s standard 3rd person controller for movement right now, and used some noise to adjust the terrain. Enjoy.

We are in!

My buddy and I are in. I wasn’t going to do this Ludum Dare, but then I changed my mind, why not? Then I was just talking to my buddy (5 min. ago) and he’s in, so we will be doing the Jam! No planning, but it will likely be made in Unity.

First night

Well, I’m a few hours in, and I’m heading to bed so I can get a decent start in the morning (hopefully).

Late start, but I’m in!

I wasn’t going to do LD this time around, but I have some time today. I have plans outside of game dev tomorrow, so I will have much less time to complete, so I’ll just make the game that much smaller! :)

I’m in!

I haven’t done one in awhile, but I’m going to attempt it again!

I’ll be using Unity, programming in C#, art will be with paint.net, sound will be sfxr.

Good luck everyone!
