No no, take this!
Not my favorite theme (so many good choices, but yet again everyone picked a safe generic one 
) but I think I settled on an idea after throwing away about 3 more ambitious ones.
The main character arrives unarmed at a cemetery for some undecided reason, and encounters a hobo that hands him a shotgun while delivering the line. He enters the cemetery and sure enough, the dead are rising. You shoot zombies for a bit from a top down arena shooter perspective then all of a sudden the hobo comes back and says something like “no wait, I promised that one to my buddy” and takes the shotgun away and gives you some other weapon.
Long story short, you’ll fight zombies and every 20-30 seconds the hobo will come back and give you some other weapon to kill zombies with. My plan is to make it interesting by coming up with wacky things to use as weapons. I’d like to add another layer of gameplay by varying the types of zombies and making them weak to certain classes of weapons but not others.
I might change it from zombies to something else since they’re overdone but naturally its the first aesthetic that came to mind. Now off to work!
Dude, i’ve seen like 15 games in the contest so far with this same concept.. You think you are gonna win on account of a hobo, some random zed and a bunch of really cool weapons ??
How many weapons have you made in your game dev career ?? you got 48 hours, and check that.. like 44 now… and if this is the best you got, I predict your gonna have like 5 weapons and unanimated zombies. just not gonna cut it.
Maybe you should go with a rabid my little pony with syphiliis ? It’s not too late to drop this concept!
lolumad?
damn straight i’m mad. Just step away from the keyboard and get some air. you aren’t thinking straight.
Ah I see, you’re trolling almost everyone because you’re “psyching the competition out”. I know this is your first time but take it easy, people really don’t treat LD like a cutthroat competition as you seem to think in your intro post. Have fun, don’t be a dick.
Oh i see.. you are acting like it’s not cuthroat..yet as soon as someone takes a break, you are still tapping away at code. You don’t fool me. you want this. but… it’s not going to be easy christopher.
i heard that a few of the judges have hobos in their family and might find this hits a little too close to home….
