Ludum Dare

[RaveRadbury]

Ludum Dare is a Game Jam that happens a couple times a year

I think it would be cool if people from the /tg/ community participated. I've done it a few times and it's always been a blast.

It looks like the next one is at the beginning of October.

9 PM Friday, theme was depths
I could work with that
Using monogame(c# is garbage btw)
Esoteric post apocalyptic paradigm shift fishing simulator in which the fishing hook is playing DDR
Scrapped in 3 hours due to lack of creative justification.
Sleep at midnight
wake up,
dotnet is throwing a fit, but an unspecified amount of reverting extension updates in vsc fixes everything
new prototype, its tower offense, in other words towers are slowly rising towards the top of the screen while you swim around and destroy them.
This goes through a few big changes over a ~8 hour period, in attempts to make the game fun. I make some really nice isometric tower sprites except its looking up at the towers. these are lost to time.
The game wouldn't become fun. I crash out at 4.46 pm in the chat of red public channel in tg cord b4 resuming my crashout in a really fuckin strange grocery store which I had never been to despite seeing it so many times while driving
NEW PROTOTYPE: if it's innovative it doesn't have to be fun, SCRIBE SIMUATOR, SCRIBE in a PIT gotta do that GIG SCRIBE HUSTLE
As night falls on Saturday I realize I had recreated a typing tutor program from the days inb4 kids got to kindergarten typing 90 words/second
All the words on the screen said NGMI
I throw in the towel, ask one of the lads to cook me up some good music for a jam submission
I sleep
Then I get a fantastic idea for a game in my dreams, all the words on the screen are saying WAGMI
Yesterday was like one of those well paced films where you forget there was a beginning 15 minutes in and the plot effortlessly juggles multiple themes while keeping the characters distinct
I won't spoil what I spent 9 hours on yesterday mostly because my worst nightmares involve sitting at a big table with other intellectual interactive media visionaries when some bucket crustacean from the cutting room floor of my psyche(the capsandi account design) destroys the illusion of illusive project concept what I champion as the cure to the cancer killing respectable(justified in non-solitary perspective) communications design(death of the author).
Yea so I submitted and it was creatively justified and fun. Reviewers say the sprites are good and the gameplay is novel.
