Late Start
Saturday, August 25th, 2012 3:23 amOk, after 8 hours, I’m finally sitting down to get started on my LD entry. This time around everything is against me. I had a hellish week, which left me tired enough that I had to just crash after the theme was announcing, and I’m also travelling, which means I only have my wimpy netbook at my disposal. But at least I got the theme I wanted since the first LD!
Last LD, I make the mistake of not making the management game that I wanted, for fear that it was not going to be popular. This time around, since everything is already stacked against me, I will throw caution to the wind, and do the damn management game anyway!
The idea is that you are a breeder of a certain creature that uses haploid genetics. You have to make money by managing your herd, and selling creatures that meet certain specifications.
Let’s see how this turns out.
Is the competition still running ?
The week is almost over, but that doesn’t keep me from entering the competition just now 
My Entry It’s going to be a little puzzle game with a game mechanic based on contrast. I’ll write a little bit more about that later. I will use the rest of the evening today to setup my engine and start coding tomorrow. My goal is to get at least a working prototype with a few levels done until Sunday. Polishing can wait until after the compo.
