Work on my Ludam Dare game project "Dr. Take Your Pills" for 2-6 hours a week.

Aarimous GameDev DK30 Quarantine 2020 0 0

Description

I starting my first video during this Ludam Dare 46 this month (theme was Keep It Alive). I quickly found that 48 hour game jam would have lead to me being burned out for my day job (as a Salesforce dev). Instead, I want to spend 2-6 hour working on the game over the next month. I’d also like to emphasise on fighting against spagetti code, cough cough… unlike Day9’s Factorio run ;). Currently the game is a console based came written in C# using Window.WriteLine a ton. Eventually I’d like to move over to using Unity to be the GUI.

I “completed” my game from LD 46. It’s not a terribly fun game, but I learned a ton ( https://arbwalk.org/games/) I’ve also began working on my next big project. I was actually able to work on my games alot more than I had planned. I’ve found myself day dreaming about potential game design elements. Cheers!
