Hello people!
I am Tom and this is my first ludum dare but not my first games jam, I’ve been in three global games jams and worked as a team in them. This time I’m on my own.
Ok, for the theme, evolution, I am going to do a game on evolving industry, mining in particular, cube mining….
You start off as a simple single cube miner and from there you evolve! lets see how far I get with this, but I at least want to evolve from one manual labour method to full on factory methods. The player will make many key decisions and respond to events which will ultimately evolve your mining operation one way or another.
The reasons for this choice:
- I love management games that react to the players input
- I want stories to be made in the players head from this, about there own little cube mining adventure
- I want to demonstrate how industry has evolved, from a single person with rock chipping out materials to massive factories mining up the earth
- Cubes are easy to model XD
The graphics won’t be amazing, a lot of it will be text, in fact I’m debating on whether to do graphics much at all (static scenes kind of thing) just because I am no artist.
I will be using Unity3D, it’s my tool of choice and a brilliantly flexible one at that.
If you wish to follow me:

Lets see what I can make! 😀
Good luck to everyone else! thanks for reading
