I'm going to try to enter my first Ludum Dare. It's a 48 hour game development competition. Obviously, that is an incredibly short time frame to create a game from scratch. So in order to prepare, I've decided to test what I can actually accomplish in two days.
Diamond Hunter is what I came up with. It's a very simple puzzle game where you must collect all diamonds to win. You'll also need to find certain items to get past some obstacles.
I kept it simple so code problems were not an issue, graphics not too ambitious, and music is a looped chord progression that I hope doesn't get too tiring to listen to. Overall, I think it turned out great. I'd definitely like to do another test run.
