There wasn't really a question about the work part of our development this week (we planned on doing a lot of work; we did a lot of work), we weren't entirely sure what would set this week's work apart from any other week.
The answer came in waves, beginning with the definition of what we want to accomplish with
Last March of the Dodos. With help from Roger, one of our executive producers, we came to realize exactly why we're making the game: to experience the joy of calculated mass destruction without any of the usual guilt that comes as baggage. Note the three facets of that definition: 1) the joy of mercilessly destroying cute things, 2) a fascination with deliberate mechanical intricacies, รก la Rube Goldberg, and 3) the alleviation of any guilt that might otherwise accompany any sort of dodo-cide. Basically, we are making
Lemmings the way that it should have been done in the first place (okay,
Lemmings was a great game in its own right, but this is gonna be sweet).
Thus, we came up with a team motto as a razor for any work that we do:
And we're not one bit sorry.
In other news, the engineers have the Dodos stoically marching toward their desired freedom now, and you can check out some of Chris's concept art.
Wish us another great upcoming week!
