This was my fourth Ludum Dare, and I daresay the one I’ve been most comfortable in 😀
I got to sleep (before and during), I got to slack off a bit, I have many chopped features, I have sound! And an “ending”! It’s been a pretty good weekend.
As always, thanks to everyone involved in making LD the best of its kind! 😀
Play PokEscape before I spoiler anything for myself
But if you don’t mind spoilers (it’s not Game Of Thrones), read on!
So, the joke is:
You’re the (Poke) Monster.
The hook is:
A stealth survival game where you have to eat your cover to survive.
You’re a newborn Magicrap. You want to eventually evolve into a Gyradeuce. But before that, you have to eat, and live, and not get caught by those bastard kids with funny caps.
You hide in tall grass! But if they hear you they’ll investigate!
If you don’t eat you’ll starve, if the kids see you they’ll catch you:
Sure, you can of course get away despite the hardships.
But you’ll wanna risk your skin to collect money to send home to your Magicrap kin. After all, animals are fiercely loyal.
What I learnt making this?
Game design is hard. (I can do better)
Naming games is hard. (I can do better, PokEscape wasn’t even my idea)
Level design is FUCKING HARD. (I can do better. Maybe)
You guys rock! 😀
