"The Lesser of Two Evils" : i have to choose beetwen pest or cholera. Any perfect choice, only painfull way. I have to decide what to cut.

i keep my game secret for the moment.

Today, i have found which framework to use, what kind of gameplay. Some piece of graphics are scraped, edited, my user interface is setting up gradually.

The title is a joke, but it's about glory which can push the player inside abyssal hole.

i wonder about a serious compatibility troubles, about time (7 days alone to do everything, avoid to produce shit game, with real life beside to manage).

another challenge : i would like to make it pedagogic with python.

Over a lunch of fajitas and queso we're ready to go. Was it us or the queso, we'll never know.

I discovered the theme this morning. Here I paste what I juste wrote in the entry's presentation:

Written before challenge start: In my last submissions, I tried to innovate with the type of game, but in the end there were not so fun to play. This time I'll for sure (almost) adopt a more traditional gameplay, focusing on the fun-to-play aspect of the game. Another certainty: I will use the same library as the other times : www.thorpy.org. Note: I've put a random name for the entry...

After challenge start: The full title is : The Phantom Racer : rised from the death. This is a racing game with some procedural content and parts, with which you can improve your vessel in order to win the intergalactic championship. You start from a national, noob cup, he you trie to reach the top level. The scenario and the gameplay will (are planned) to be inspired by the theme : "The Lesser of Two Evils".

-------------

From a technical point of view, I plan to use a fake 3D engine written in pure python and using cpu for rendering into pygame.

Here is the git: https://github.com/YannThorimbert/ThePhantomRacer

I have a lot to do, so I go...

My wife is a designer and I've recruited her into the game-making process. I'll be using artwork she makes, so we're officially a two-person team. I don't know if it affects that much, since both individuals and teams are judged together, but if we need to she can make an account here as well. This theme was actually my top pick, and I have a rough idea that I want to do to make things interesting. Hopefully we will have enough time to flesh out the idea fully!

Ok, "The Lesser of Two Evils", I get the exactly meaning severals hours ago. Many thanks to my friend! Chanllenge starts, some tips to myself. 1) Do not pay much attention on images, sound, font, etc, I am not making commercial games, game idea is the most important things. 2）Do not try to put all my ideas into my game, it is only one week, I just show the most interesting thing. 3) Time is limited, first thing is try to finish my game without bugs.

OK, personally, all the theme is fine to me (well,what does it mean about 'The Lesser of Two Evils' ^v^). I will do a shooting game (shoot em up) this time.
