Details

Its been awhile since I participated in a Ludum Dare, the last one was LD34! I went solo this route, but went for the Jam to have an extra day. Initially I wanted to go with a Joe vs the Volcano route, but saw quite a few preliminary games going that way so changed it up and went a Greek mythology style. Spent a large portion of this relearning how to UV map a model, unwrap it, and then paint everything using Photoshop. I have some audio recording equipment but I didn't have time to do anything of my own, so the music and sound effects are from a freebie library that I had found, as such I disabled scoring for all audio.

Game Idea

The idea is that Mount Olympus is under siege and that you must sacrifice falling objects from the gods to repower them, if any of the gods fall (altar timer runs out) you lose. I went with a simpler idea this year since its been awhile since I made anything.

How to play

Run around using WASD, Cursors, or Left click with your mouse to move. Pick up items and drop them off at their matching altar.

- Lightning Bolts -> Zeus
