So... I made a retirement home management game...
So… This is my first time joining a ludum dare Jam. I amways saw it as too big and intimidationg for me… But, when I saw that it was the 20th anniversary, I forced myself to joining. And since I like a bit of challenge (and I’m probably a bit insane) I opted for the compo.
I wasn’t really inspired by the theme at first. But after a bit of brainstorming I gathered that the most unavoidable thing in life is… well… death… (duh!)
So I came up with this idea of trying to keep a dying character alive by tending to it’s need. And it somehow turned into a retirement home management game. I know it sound dull… & to be honest… it kinda is ^^
The game is not half as fun as it should be, it’s not properly balanced & it’s missing a lot of the features I had in mind (Overscoping is a real plague). BUT it’s playable and it basically do what I was aiming for.
I’m honestly proud that I managed to pull off that much in just 48h with initially almost 0 knowledge on how to properly design music or make proper sounds (not saying it sound awesome… but it’s not awfull… so that’s a win).
Anyway… If that got you curious. Feel free to give it a go & don’t hesitate to leave feedbacks.
I’ll probably post a post-jam update (yes… I’m frustrated about all the missing features in that game… again, overscoping is a plague :p)
If you made it so far in this post… well.. don’t you have anything better to do ? Go play some games ! And don’t forget to leave feedbacks !
Cheers ! :)
