Hey, everyone! We are getting ramped up and excited.

Here are some very early mock ups and sketches of Poo Dee Pie! Keeping with the entire game on one screen theme, Ben and Steffen have some incredible ideas of the actual game play. Super early images for the idea below:

So originally I planned to make a 2d platformer, since the only other game I have ever made was a 2d platformer (The Well) and the experience gained from it would be useful. The environment and character would be made using either black and white squares or coloured ones. I started working on it, decided to browse the compo page and saw a hundred other people with the same idea! I decided to scrap that idea to work on something more original. I decided to make a mini stock game where you buy and sell shares to try to make money. After planning it out, I realised it would probably come out pretty boring. Finally…

I have started making a 2d side-scrolling game where you have to navigate a rocket through an asteroid field. I hope the art style and the simple gameplay qualify me for the theme, and the picture below shows my day 1 progress. I don’t have as much time to work on this as some other people as I live on the other side of the world and have to book into camp tonight. I really hope I complete my first LD entry and hope it turns out well. Thanks for the inspiration to ACTUALLY make a game instead of half completing a dozen!

I will also be making some posts about the game on my website once I finish it, so check it out! http://www.custardgames.com
