Ludum Dare 51

First time

Hi, finally got the guts to be here!

I'll be doing the jam with a friend, @taxiservice, hoping to get something done by the end of the event. We're still learning the ropes and doing everything together although I'm really bad at art and music editing so he'll do all the work alone.

I hope you all a fine LD51 :loud_sound:

Our setup

  • Engine: (crappy) custom code on top of pygame (:heart:)
  • Art: probably Aseprite
  • SFX: sfxr (what else?)
  • Music: LMMS maybe?
  • Humor: don't ask to munch
  • Mood: anxiety
  • Innovation: N/A

Fix the sewers or get dirty trying!

We laid out the basic concepts way before I thought we would do!

The game is about an underpaied plumber that needs to constantly change the plumbing system to react to incoming waves of... waste water :wc:

The idea is to have a "deck" drafting area (the available pipes), and a game area where you can place and rotate the pipes to connect the system. The 10 seconds countdown will be our game turn, think fast and don't let that dirty stuff spill onto the floor (or yourself!).

A new day approaches

Couldn't finish the prototype yesterday :/

Today we'll put all our efforts in building the core mechanics and make them as fine as possible! I really need to finish this skeleton by making the left side pipes selectable and placeable in the right side "grid", then it's time for some events on the 10 seconds mark :clock10:

Also good second day to everyone :v:

Progress?

I hope we can ship at least a working demo tomorrow :sweat_smile:

A lot of stuff is still missing, we've already cut off features but we don't know if this game will have a real goal other than, maybe, "keep the pipes connected for as much as you can while stuff keeps flowing from top to bottom".

This last day will be really fundamental, wish you all a happy coding night :whale:

Post Jam release

Hey you! Try our game! It's barely a prototype but at least it should run on your machine too!

Hi all, thanks for the wild ride of LD51!

We finally fixed the game, now it looks like what we tried to make during the jam without the game-breaking bugs ;)
