Away from my computer right now. Made an extremely basic space shooter using public domain assets. Wasn't feeling particularly inspired. Will build and upload later.
Inspired by a VR experience at A MAZE. / Berlin, I started a scene to walk through in first person with Oculus Rift in mind (but not in use... yet?). Made at Berlin Mini Jam.
The genre is fantasy, biographical, biblical (old testament) or cartoon.
Due this seems to be our week for slowing down the pace, I only write something about my efforts, without having a playable game to show.
My goal was to create a reversi clone, but I haven´t the time to fullfill this plan.It looks like this, but the mechanics are not implemented yet.
Well, this is rather broken. Mostly because of not enough time this week.
My goal was to experiment with realtime action/stealth/groups of people. This I did, but the result is not finished at all. No sound, no animation, no game goal. You can just walk and run through the people and be chased by the guards until you are dead.
I saw many problems with the structure of my code. And there are some bugs to be solved. But I think I will take parts of this as foundation for another game.
So this is kind of cheating entering the same game for two weeks in a row, but all my development time this week has been taken up with streamlining my Ludum Dare Entry and incorporating the feedback that I've received here and elsewhere. Here is a short list of the differences:
Options menu - You can adjust the length of the debate and the thinking time to make things easier or harder (that was for you @Anja).
Word list - The word list is greatly cut down from 50,000 words to about 5,000. I am a native English speaker and have a fairly extensive vocabulary and I had never seen half of the words before. Younger audiences or individuals who don't speak English as their first language can enjoy the absurdity of the debate more if they know what the words mean (Thanks for pointing this out @Stephan) Plus, I enjoy it more with the change also.
Game speed - I eliminated some of the prompts and the messages that didn't add anything to the game but did slow it down. I also reduced the default number of rounds to 6 from 10 (although you can move it back up again if you want in the options menu). Each debate takes less than half the time that it used to.
You can play the new version here.
