This is hard. I am making a game called Save The Cores, and I am worried I won’t be able to finish. Going into this, I knew things wouldn’t be super easy. I am using Flash and Action Script, I have barely any experience with Flash, so that was hard in it of itself. In retrospect, not the best idea.
Also, recently I have been having some personal problems, and I have been having trouble making games. I am sure this is a problem that a lot of indies face, but being a teenager, mine might be worse.
Anyway, update on Save The Cores, I have collision up. Which is a massive pain with Flash, it reminds me of the time I tried to code a calculator in year five. Just a ton of if statements and hitTests. Sound is a pain in the ass in Flash. It refused to use the music my musician made, so I might not even have sound. I’ll try and finish, but no promises.

Minin LD is less strict than a normal Ludum Dare so it’s fine to take an extra day or so. Still, best of luck.
Thanks, I am going to finish. But the plot won’t be evident, It is going to be mind numbingly simple. LITERALLY, if you can you arrow keys for 15 seconds, you can win. Best of luck to you.
Good luck.
