Because I always miss these things, and it's indie news-like:
A Ludum Dare 48 hour mini event started 4 hours ago!
and the theme is THE GAME OF THE MOVIE!
you have to pick a movie, and make a game from it.
now if you want to stick to tradition, the game should have as little to do with the movie as possible, the plot should be abused, characters poorly represented and bits added and removed as though the whole thing went through a blender with a totally different movie.
and as promised, there is a bonus optional theme Unicorn! madder props are awarded for having a unicorn in the game somewhere, especially if it doesnt fit the movie :D
Remember, its not a competition, but that doesent mean you cant all be competetive ;-)
It is over at the ludumdare compo site (
