THE RIM - https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/$239800

Hello world!

What a journey I have been on over the last 3 days. Long story short, four weeks ago I started learning C# and Unity as a means of FINALLY sticking with learning programming. Low and behold making games is SUPER FUN AND ENGAGING so I've been able to keep up learning every day.

THE STORY

Last week my buddy @Jokerbomb heard about my game dev adventures and asked if I'd like to do a game jam with him. He hadn't made games in a while but we decided to give it a shot. We recruited a third friend (@frequencydata) to write music, but by the time the jam started, he was also deep into learning our new tools (Game Maker 2, Aseprite) as we built our first game jam game ever.

THE GAME

Welcome to the Rim! - https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/$239800

The theme Deeper and Deeper inspired a lot of thoughts during our early brainstorms. Digging deep down into the earth came up quick, with fond memories of Battletoads coming to mind. Additionally we thought of additional meanings of deep, deeper and depth, from the idea of rich and intense colors to exploring the depths of what it means to be a person itself.

And here we are. In the Rim, you will explore the depths of a meteor crater, dealing not only with the strange denizens who now occupy the depths, but also your own self identity. Seek the source of the strangeness and find answers about who you really are.

It was a blast to work on this with two of my closest friends. I am so proud of what we made. Thank you in advance for checking out our game, I look forward to seeing all the cool things you all came up with! Cheers!
