I incorporated feedback, added a new room in the prison, fixed bugs, and more!

You check it out from my page.

Look for the the post-compo version.(in big letters and everything!)

Also, if you haven’t, please play and rate the original version of my game (If you have time. I know some people have lives )

This was my first time doing anything like this, and I’m actually pretty happy with the output.

There are a few minor bugs, but nothing killer (I think/hope)

I decided to go for a more story-based game than I have before. The gameplay could be better, but I will continue to work on it after Ludum Dare.

I also eventually try to port it to other platforms, namely Linux.

Red buttons and red doors

Here is some food I’ve eaten over the second half of the compo:

coconut bar

a pita pizza (think pizza w/o sauce)

 Also: Almost done!

The name is “Prisoner”. If I can think of anything better I might change it.

Anyway, I got some more levels done and (I think) most of the story.

Taking a break for lunch now, I’ll be back soon.

^A key and locked door^

^A door and a button to open the door^

^The button pressed and the door open^

I got a blue box to move around and collide with walls. Then I implemented a simple “change level” system. Designing levels and sleep followed.

Also, a bowl of ramen:

I think I’ll go with something semi-obvious: Escaping from a prison-like building.

I’m thinking this will end up being a puzzle game.

That’s it for now.

This will be my first LD!

-I will probably use GameMaker, simply because it deserves much more respect than it gets (and because its easy!). If I am feeling confident enough, I may use C++ with SDL.

-The GIMP for creating graphics.

-Maybe sfxr for sound effects.

I wish everyone luck with their games.

May the source be with you, always!
