Father and son are in!

My son (10) and I (still a boy) are going to participate using PICO-8 as our all-purpose development tool. So excited to see the voting result!

I MIGHT be finding myself use Pixly and Zero Brane to speed up development, but I guess we’ll mostly be working in PICO, probably even on a PocketChip.

Good luck, everybody!

Father and son in

Heya everybody, this is my first time in Ludum Dare - finally, been wanting to participate for like ages. Working in games professionally since 2000, took me a while to find the time for LD :D Will team up with my son Noah AKA Emo-Bonnie (aged 12, passionate pixelartist and aspiring lua-coder) and we’re both very excited to see what we can come up with. Good luck and tons of fun, everyone!

Father and son - our setup

Heya, everyone. It took us a while (3 hours now) to figure out where we'd be going and what engine to use. Love2D, Unity, RPG Maker and PICO-8 have been the candidates for our initial ideas and we are going for PICO-8 because of the quick and easy creatability of an HTML5 runtime (and quick game creation as well). While we had a neat multiplayer idea, we dumped it, as it would be less accessible for most players in the end, requiring a second player. We are now going for a single player, graphically controlled text-adventure with a map and four characters with a unique power each. Will keep you updated.
