Minimalist game development!
So, Ludum Dare! Woke up a bit late today and had some breakfast to prepare for the compo while I chewed on the theme a bit. (Also this.)
Then a friend of mine called and wanted to go on a mountain trip. I needed to think some more about the LD theme anyway, and what better way to get the brain working than to starve it on oxygen by breathing much thinner air? Seemed like a good idea, so off we went.
Ate some Rislunsj first, though. This is Rislunsj:
(My food started floating about in the air at this point, not exactly sure why.)
Then we walked on said mountain for a while, and I took lots of pictures (mainly of trees), since I thought there might be a remote possibility that they could come in handy for the compo.
Anyway, at some point we decided it was time to eat something. My friend brought a portable stove and we cooked this on it:
Unfortunately we used all our water for the food, but miraculously we found we’d brought something else to drink, seen here posing in the scenery:
My friend had a Solo. Afterwards, some chocolate:
Then we went back down again.
And that was my day! Man, with all this hard work my game will surely be way beyond awesome. The product of dreams.

Huff. I’m jealous. Give me some of them mountains please… we don’t get those around here.
Imagine if you had brought a laptop - that would be an awesome LD: Hiking up a mountain, spending 4-5 hours there coding until your battery runs out, then hike back down and sleep+recharge. Repeat once more for the next day. With a second battery pack it could even provide a competitive time allotment compared to us lowly earth dwellers.
I’m totally doing that in LD20 when I’ll hopefully have access to a laptop and a mountain

Yeah, that would be pretty awesome. No laptop here either, though. Maybe I could borrow one from a friend..

Hey, that looks suspiciously like Bergen - am I right?

Yep, that’s right! The mountain we were on is Fløien. In the distance in the third shot you see Løvstakken mountain, which I live on (at the right, on the other side) =)

Nice! Living in Bergen myself, so I had better be right
Always looking for other local people coding games and other creative stuff - I looked for your email, but couldn’t find it ?
