Alright, here is another prototype with 8 hours to go. Still needs a lot of work! Click the image to play:

That was a fun experience – Phaser.io was pretty strange, but I think I got the hang of it by the end. Now I’ve got some sleep to catch up on.

I am going to be making a Jam game with a couple collaborators this time. I’ve got an idea based on the theme, a kind of fan game of Welcome To Night Vale, one of my favorite podcasts. In the game you play as the underground city of tiny warlike giants that lives in a cavern connected to the pin retrieval area of the Desert Flower Bowling Alley and Arcade Fun Complex. A secret organization is sending in agents to make off with buildings from your city, and you must mount a defense of it in the name of your child-king and your malevolent god Huntokarr.

I’m building this with Cocos2D-x JS, it will be an isometric HTML5/Javascript game. It is maybe too ambitious for a Ludum Dare project, but I’m down to see how much of it we can get done by the end.

Finally, since it’s tradition, a picture of the first dinner of Ludum Dare 29:
