My first Ludum Dare... and inevitably I got the rules a bit wrong. This entry was intended for the compo but I unwittingly included a few royalty-free sound effects so I guess it's going in the jam now!
The Game:
You are the elusive Loch Ness Monster, and you must remain elusive by avoiding the tourists trying to take photos of you, but you'll need to surface for air at some point! Each level brings higher numbers of camera-toting tourists that you must avoid.
The Making Of:
The game was made in Game Maker Studio. Sound effects came from freesound.org or were created with SFXR, and the music was thrown together in Pro Tools. MSPaint was used for a few graphical things but the vast majority was done in Game Maker.
THE GAME HAS A DUMB RESOLUTION
I don't know what I was thinking, but yes, the resolution is 1408 x 768. sorry.
I should also mention that it was designed with gamepad control in mind, but it is totally playable with keyboard.
All in all I'm happy with what I managed to achieve solo in under 48 hours. As the game is now destined for the jam I could spend another day polishing it but I think I'd rather leave it as it is. I had a great time and I'm looking forward to the next game jam! Thanks for playing!
