Re: Ludum Dare anyone?
I want to participate in Ludum Dare, though it will depend on whether I can think up of a story for the given theme or not. Creating a visual novel would be impossible due to time constraints, so I intend to make something like a text adventure... Maybe with a few simple drawings, if I can find the time.
Also, I am fully aware that any project I attempt to complete in such a short time frame will just crash and burn, but there is no harm in trying, right? X)

Re: Ludum Dare anyone?
I'm thinking the same thing, since I'd have to find an artist to draw for me. Although I suppose I could go with programmer art...apparently that's "encouraged" for Ludum Dare.CSV wrote:I want to participate in Ludum Dare, though it will depend on whether I can think up of a story for the given theme or not.

Re: Ludum Dare anyone?
I would honestly prefer to do art, because I am incredibly slow as a writer, but it would be impossible to create a game with images only...so a text adventure it is.Zelan wrote:I'm thinking the same thing, since I'd have to find an artist to draw for me.

Re: Ludum Dare anyone?
If either one of us comes up with an idea, I'd be willing to team up with you. c: I'm still not *entirely* sure I'm participating, though, since I've got all sorts of stuff to finish before school starts this Tuesday.CSV wrote:I would honestly prefer to do art, because I am incredibly slow as a writer, but it would be impossible to create a game with images only...so a text adventure it is.Zelan wrote:I'm thinking the same thing, since I'd have to find an artist to draw for me.

If you'd rather do your own thing, I would say that it's definitely possible to make a game mostly with images, but what few words you did have would be a lot more significant and I'm sure there'd have to be some sort of gameplay element to hold the attention of the players. And gameplay is where I'm the most clueless. :/

Re: Ludum Dare anyone?
I agree it is possible to make a game based on visuals rather than text, but it would take me a long time to draw that much, particularly because I use traditional media. Even sprite expressions are a pain to make.Zelan wrote:If either one of us comes up with an idea, I'd be willing to team up with you. c: I'm still not *entirely* sure I'm participating, though, since I've got all sorts of stuff to finish before school starts this Tuesday.

Gameplay-wise, I have prepared a base code on Ren'py for a Choose Your Own Adventure type thing. =) It really depends on me not getting idea blocked by the theme now. Waiting for that countdown to end...

Re: Ludum Dare anyone?
I probably confused the day early thing with something else, whoops. My bad
Will work in exchange for fight game buddies.

Ancient technology!
The theme is just in.
Errr... I'm not sure if I've got anything for that.

Awww, man, that was just the one I was hoping not to have. :/ It was definitely most popular by far in the other rounds, though, so it's not too surprising.Godline wrote:Ancient technology!

Re: Ludum Dare anyone?
Agreed. "Ancient Technology" makes me think of those History Channel shows about how aliens are behind everything and that's it...

Exactly.Zelan wrote: Heh.
Though I suppose it could be a story about looking for some mythical piece of ancient technology? Or someone finding some ancient doomsday device and the MC running around trying to stop it being used. Ugh, this theme is the worst.
EDIT: Just had an idea for some sort of adventure otome based on this theme. Really, my brain can twist every game into the otome genre at this point...but I am still bad at adventure stories, so wish me luck. T-T

Re: Ludum Dare anyone?
Best of luck, CSV. <3
The only thing I'm coming up with right now would be something with a sundial. But that's not even close to a fleshed-out idea, and I really do need to finish this homework, so I don't think I'll be participating this time. Good luck to all of you guys, though! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! c:

Re: Ludum Dare anyone?
Poking in because I really like that theme. lol
Could do something like Nausicaa Vally of the Wind or Castle in the Sky. Or OOPArt (out of place Artifacts in History). Maybe have your MC who is an archaeologist who finds a OOPArt and gets thrust into magical/secret society shenanigans. Do an Indiana Jones thing.
Or have it take place in a Mad Max future world. And the "Ancient" tech is stuff we have today but warped by time.
Maybe have something in a Future Magical world and your MC finds some "ancient" science tech. I see this plot in giant robot anime quite a bit... Hell, most mecha series could fall under this theme.
ANYWHO! Good luck peeps!

Re: Ludum Dare anyone?
Solo entries it is?
I'll have a try at a HTML5 app then, unless somebody needs help with graphics or programming
Btw TV Tropes may help with inspiration.
