Working full time at a game dev is taking most of my time nowadays and chores / real life stuff keeps piling up, what with the upcoming holidays and all, but there's still time for the Loading Screen Jam, a gamejam that gave me a cool idea about stuffing minigames during loading screens. Legend of Loadaia is exactly that; A game where you play mini-games while the game is loading, trying to make it load as much as possible.
The framing device of the game is that an evil tyrant, Overload Deathbload, is attacking the realm, and you, the Hero of Loading, must stop him. To do so, you must collect Loadstones and buy upgrades in order to become stronger and finally defeat the last boss (the only enemy in the game).
While at first the game will load straight into that final battle, resulting in terrible defeat, you'll progressively load through more and more minigames that will allow you to collect loadstones, buy upgrades to either unlock or improve these minigames or just to boost your character, rinse, and repeat.
I like the idea! I like where I am with the game so far, but I'm kinda afraid I won't have time to finish it properly for friday, but that's a risk of the trade!
Time spent on the project so far: 10 hours
