Ludum Dare 33 Game Jam!


So Ludum Dare was last weekend running from August 22nd to 25th. Me and a small group decided we would partake in the jam this year and smashed out a small game with the theme of 'You are the Monster'. For those that haven't heard of the jam, Ludum Dare is a yearly competition for game developers to produce a short game in the span of 2 or 3 days. This usually means for those few days sleep is not recommended.  
Using the Unity engine the four of us spent countless hours making assets, programming, texturing and sound editing. I was tasked with programming and actually learned a lot of useful code practices while making the game. The final result was a high score game with random generated levels. The aim of the game was for the player to harvest the souls of dead MMO characters and send them to the game over screen, all the while avoiding the angels.
