“Overpopulous” got 18th place on the 72h Jam!
More importantly, we were the 10th most Fun game out of the Jam!
We “complaint” that last time there were too many Ludum Dare entries to vote, but this time was crazy! 1402 games! 330 games for the Jam alone!
In case that you missed it, here’s our post-mortem:

What is Overpopulous? Oh boy! We were so busy these last 72 hours, that we didn’t find the time to post here about our participation in Ludum Dare 23.
This competition marks the 10th anniversary of Ludum Dare, which has a whopping 1401 games for you to try out!
Have fun while we take our deepest sleep ever.
“alone I art” got 4th place on the 72h Jam! Out of 174!
During these 20 days of voting, we received so much feedback that the wait for the results wasn’t as exciting as reading what people though of our game.
And this time we did our best to rate as many games as possible. There are some great games out there, and we’re not just talking about the ones who got into Top 25 or Top 50 (Compo, Jam). We’ll make a list of our favorite ones if we can find them all.
In the meanwhile, you can go to Ludum Dare and read our Post Mortem, among other things in our journal page there.
Congratulations to the other game makers out there. And thanks for all of your support!
(UPDATED TO 1.01, SOUND PROBLEMS SOLVED AND MINOR BUG FIXES)
And you can play it here!

There was like 3 minutes left!
We’re dead tired. And the game is filled with bugs. Minor bugs, but we’re not sure we can solve some of them due to them being problems within Flixel.
Again, for 72 hours, we feel like we did pretty well.
Post mortem incoming, hold tight!
“alone I art“ is a game about spending valuable time alone with art.
You’re a shady character in a museum. You love art. You love it so much that you need to steal it. But to steal the art, you need to be alone. You can’t have anyone spot you stealing or carrying the art in your trench coat, or you’ll never be allowed be alone with art ever again.
We’re making great progress. Our lead artist had to go home but he left all of the necessary art done, we’re just making some alternative tile sets to bring some variety and color coding do the game.
What? You’re still working? Boriiiiing!
Gameplay mechanics are being prototyped whle the AI and pathfinding are on their way. We’re confident this game is going to be at least as fun as the process of making it.
