Gaeel is making a game for this Ludum Dare

Gaeel is doing Ludum Dare #26

Walk into the club I'm like, what up I got a big cock

Theme is "minimalism"

Step one: looking for inspiration

• Listening to Burial

Step two: It's going to be a SAD game

• Maybe listening to Burial was a bit overkill
• A girl, the last person
• She is going to die, but she wants to find the right place to do so
• She believes it will be meaningful to die at the monolith
• An exploration platformer in a minimally chromatic universe (echofall)
• Travel through the world and find the monolith

Step three: Basic things are in

• Simple level in-game format and level editor
• Top-class tile platformer physics (wtf?)
• Need to find a way to save the levels
• Also prettify everything maybe?

Step four: Of mice and men

• I need things, here is a list of things that I need:
  • Loading and saving of collision map to png
  • Loading and saving of entity map to .lua
  • Lots of pretty pictures
  • An animated character
  • Music and sounds
  • Interactables:
    • Worship areas
• The "Minimalism" of this game is in the use of simple sounds and graphics to induce emotion
• Feelings the player should feel:
  • Angst
  • Vulnerability
  • Sorrow
  • Pity
  • Possibly release and liberation
