So I think I have a concept. I think it’s going to be hard. Brutally so.
Right now every thing is white, but that’s cheating a bit with regards to the theme, but the minimalism part comes with regards to the visual player feedback…. cutting down on that from what we’re used to makes for a strong challenge.
Mucking about learning how shaders work in Unity, when you don’t have much time to spare. Looks pretty dull, doesn’t it?
Upshot is triangle city and nasty texturing!
So this is my game for the jam so far…. not perfect and art is a bit sucky, but it plays ok I think.
Basically my take on minimalism is minimalistic user feedback, which is why the robot thing, Ma Mini Slim, fades out as you speed up.
