The 27th Ludum Dare was a great experience and lots of fun. Also, a lot of people gave some good feedback on my game. Brian Devins was one of those. He commented that he really loved Catch A Train and even composed a soundtrack for it! I think the soundtrack he made fits in really well, so I decided to do an update on my game.
Many thanks Brian, I love the soundtrack you made!
Pfew, that was tough, but fun! After 48 hours I made my first game for the 27th Ludum Dare – Catch A Train. First, I brainstormed about the theme – 10 seconds. And I came up with this simple, yet fun idea, where you try to catch this train in 10 seconds.
The simple sketch I drew, shows the characters who will hold you from catching that train. But in the end I stuck to the idea to push your way through the mass of passengers who just came out of the train.
I only had 48 hours, so I used tools that I was familiar to (A lesson I’ve learned from the 7DRTS). I used the following two tools to build this game:
I had some trouble with coding the physics of the game. Definitely something I need practice with. As I’d like to participate in future 48 hour competitions, I will learn some cool new tricks about physics.
