LUDUM DARE 16 COUNTDOWN

by SonnyBone
------------------

Yo Suckaz. The strike is lifted and robotic buttholes are back in style.

On top of that... we're about 4 days away from the start of LUDUM DARE 16, the 48 hour video game design contest. I want to win this SO VERY BADLY, but I know it'll be incredibly difficult. I will be maintaining a blog during the development process that I will link to here on KBN, so give me tons of support. And by that I mean I want you to cup my balls.

There have been a jillion theme ideas suggested over at the Ludum Dare site, and some of them would make hilariously awesome games. I'm gonna post the list for all to see, and when it comes time to vote, I'll see if I can post the link for everyone. I'm not incredibly sure if ANYONE can vote, though. Either way, post a comment with your top 3 choices.

My top three choices-

Betrayal As A Game Mechanic-I played a board game like this called Betrayal at the House on the Hill. It's fucking awesome. I want to see this more.

Futility- THE PRINCESS DOESN'T WANT SOME FAT HAIRY PLUMBER SAVING HER

Apocalypse- Mad Max Shit

There was an ad on the side of this page for J.CREW

I read it as: I SPEW

This says a great deal about me as a person, much like your list above.

Betrayal, futility, and apocalypse.

Wackydeli wants fluffy animals taking turns eating.

I have stumbled upon the world's greatest personality test.

Kaboom doesn't post here, but wanted to say his three choices are Photography, Naked Men, and Water

All humans are dead - this is a good start.

You are a cat - ok, this is an improvement over 90% of games already.

Eating - this pretty much all cats do except sleep.

So basically, something where a cat survives the great apocalypse and has to find enough non-tainted rodents to subsist on.

Don't let me down, Sonny.

It's not up to me... the final WATERED DOWN list for voting has been upped and it's not available to non-participants. TURN BASED EATING DID NOT MAKE THE FINAL CUT. I am anger. Also, no apocalypse, or ALL HUMANS ARE DEAD. However... we still have EATING and YOU ARE A CAT. This will all be whittled down into the final vote which will be held Friday before the contest kicks off when they announce the final theme. Just because something like TURN BASED EATING isn't chosen, it doesn't mean I can't make a game out of it. I just have to use the chosen theme in some form.

WE SHALL SEE.

The first round choices are:

8 Eyes
Adaptation
A day in the life of...
Alexander the Great
Aliens
Baked Goods as Characters
Betrayal as a gameplay mechanic
