Like a swift ninja skittering across a frozen lake, Ludum Dare 37 have come and went swiftly…

Hello, everyone! Sorry for the silent treatment, but we have a new game out!

Created by Taro Omiya, Petey Pezzulo, and Graham Lerch, this open-source first-person puzzle game involves going in deep. Very, very deep.

Full Description:

Make it Juicy: does it need a video?

| Taro Omiya

Hey everyone. Now that the Make it Juicy presentation is in Beta, I’ve been debating about something: do I really need a supplementary video? At this point, every notes I had for the game are pretty much in the menu, and I think the game speaks for itself. I was wondering if, for any of you fans, you would want a video to go along with the presentation. I value all feedback, so thanks!

The updated presentation is available here:

Make it Juicy Presentation Update: Scores!

| Taro Omiya

I am a little late on this update, but I added a scoring system to the game. I also added flashes and pauses into the game. I’m actually about 3/4ths done with this presentation, and hopefully by the end of tomorrow, have the entire demonstration finished (but not yet complete).

As usual, here’s the link. Any feedback to the presentation is welcome. As noted earlier, the intent is to make sure each iteration of the game actually improves from the player’s perspective.
