I know, I know, I'm so great at drawing rooms and people.
Last Ludum Dare, I tried a little bit of live coverage before I collapsed in a tired heap. Turns out, a couple of the ones I thought were great actually did best of all, like Tombed and Mind Wall. Obviously, I'm an oracular genius, but we know this already, DON'T WE BRIAN, 23 Crescent Avenue Lane, Bristol?
This time, with Mini Ludum Dare 10, a couple factors sort of aligned. Firstly, increpare did the theme. I met him in Minecraft once, and I play all of his games, so that was factor number 1.
Number 2: The theme was Domestic Violence. This is pretty close to my heart, and I have a lot to say about abuse and bullying in general, but domestic abuse in particular.
Thirdly, my "what the fuck" light was on. I decided to make a game.
Actually making the fucker is a different story, which I'll attempt to put up on my other blog while wearing my dev hat later on. While the writer hat is on, though, let me just link to the Ludum Dare entry, the game itself as hosted on yoyogames.com, and the yoyogames page. That last link is the one to try, ugly firefox plug-in and all, if you can't get the game to work on XP. No idea why, but the stuff won't highlight in XP sometimes.
I've actually wanted to make a game for fucking ever, and now that I have, I can easily imagine popping out a few more. Still, I think this one was successful because so much of it is writing, and I do enjoy writing more. I have some ideas for my next game, but again, keep an eye on the other blog for that sort of news. I will, of course, post here if and when I finish making something else.
