Although I’m participating in the jam, so I have an extra day, and a team, working late is no exception. Today, however, I am especially tired, so I need some caffeine reinforcements.

My lovely pink cup of reinforcement caffeine.

200 grams of joy

At least something will be Elite this round!

Alright– so my food photos won’t win any beauty contests but between the bagels and the coffee I’ve got all the fuel I need for the next few hours to keep working on my game mockups.  I got about 5 hours of sleep last night after waiting up for the theme.  Before going to bed I wrote 4 game ideas down and slept on them.   Waking up at 5am EST I felt I had a good synthesis of them in my head and an idea that felt fun enough to me to get cracking on some photoshop mockups after initially doing a little writeup on the game.  For now though it is om nom nom time.  Good morning LD!

ahhh, breakfast!

I didn’t get much done last night,. I work best in the morning.  must be the coffee!

You can see the “wall” collapsing in the back,. and the loosely defined pac-”worm”, that is the player, runs toward the screen in an attempt to escape it,. . Here the Advancing Wall is an Advancing Collapse of Doom.  This is going to be a bit rought, but something will be done.  I’m going to add some good/bad objects to play with on the wall, and then synth some sounds and music,. .  this all depends on how much time I get to work today,. . fingers crossed.

this stuff was smuggled straight out of colombia! so goooood

Coffee (lovingly prepared by my girlfriend) & Hot’n'Spicy vegetable juice. I’ll probably have some biscuits later on too.

The game is moving along, but I’ve gotta get cracking if I’m going to have something semi-finished by the end of today. Onward … to the level editor !!!!

Step 1: Leave the computer to start making some coffee.

Step 2: Return to computer while coffee is pouring.

Step 3: Completely zone-out making minimal techno with freebirth.

Step 4: Return, to find … er … not a minimal amount of coffee. Everywhere.

Well, I wasn’t able to work on ludumdare yesterday, so this will be a “mini-compo” for me. I’m just getting started now, with about 10 hours remaining. And here is my breakfast, english muffins with jam and coffee.
