Crossroads
This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. The original page is no longer available.
It turned out pretty good despite much turmoil!
It’s like scrabble or a crossword puzzle, but with more cars.
Crosswords Final
My original idea included lots of extra tiles that werent letters, like a one-way tile, and a gas-can, more letter slots, etc.. but i didn’t have time for those. Hopefully i’ll make a post-compo version next week.
Edit: added a 800×600 build for people on laptops and such. Also fixed a last minute bug which prevented placing tiles in the first column, making the game unwinnable.
Woot! My article got featured on gamedev.net:
Better Programmer Art: Or how to fake it as a game artist.
I use a lot of examples from past LD48 games (mine and others), and most of this is stuff I’ve learned through doing these contests. Ironically, in the most recent contest I didn’t have time to replace the placeholder art so it pretty much ignores all of these tips.
Hope this is helpful to the community. Enjoy!
