> How to explain Ludum Dare to a Muggle?

Let's try to explain it with the help of Tetris... Or even better with my Tetris clone called Theme -Tris. You guess right - the Ludum Dare "theme voting" is also part of the game and was my major game idea.

Play the HTML5 Version!

However - I had to shortcut some major functions I first planned to include. But I have finished a game!

Scenes:

A Menu with an early Prototype of the Gameplay (Animated in the Background)

A basic version of the "Randomize the Contest" part

The Tetris Clone to symbolize the weekend development:

A basic "Post Mortem" Part: Just some statistic fake texts have survived.

Some Background Info:

I had to throw away several nice parts of my game. I will write more tomorrow. The "Theme Voting" and "build your Game Idea" part is now only a bunch of texts on Blocks and in a Text Panel ;-(

I had to exclude the really nice Animation I "extracted" from a YT video because I did not read the rules upfront! (Arghhhh) This was also the reason for the now crappy music track instead of the nice one I already had.

(Sooo sad - I might activate it as an Easter egg)
