Sadly, I had some life stuff happen so wasn't able to do more than a couple hours here and there, but I will plan to finish my planned demo over the next week or two. Still wanted to submit the unfinished version so I can say this was my first Ludum Dare where I submitted something and I plan to compete in future ones as well.
The general game premise is that dwarven race has dwindled and you suspect diving deep into the mines of your ancestors will allow you find the secrets you need to restore dwarven society to greatness or at least prevent the programmer art goblins from raiding your home. As you delve deeper, you learn how to construct automatons that can keep you safe while you continue your trek into the dwarven mines of old.
I was able to make some cool new (to me) game mechanics that I haven't done before such as pathfinding with destructible terrain and a basic fog of war feature. I also got a bit more practice with pixel art for terrain creation, basic character sprites, and even more basic hand pixeled animations.
