I’ve decided to use the Mini-LD as a chance to prototype a game that I have wanted to develop for quite some time, as well as to finally learn Ogre 3D.

The title of the game is Valorous-X, and it is a multi-directional shooter.

The prototype will be thrown together mostly in the last 24h of the Mini-LD. This is partly because I am still getting Ogre set up, and partly because I’m lazy and will likely slack off quite a bit. Also, it takes a couple of hours to set up a basic Ogre program from scratch. (Not incredibly long, but it’s still a process putting together the render window, input system, and other bits)

For this game, I plan on having a single player vehicle, as well as a couple of types of baddies. I am not sure what else it will have.

I hope to have a Windows binary some time Monday or Tuesday, provided that I can get Mingw working with Ogre. Here’s hoping.

Peace, Love, and C++
