We are the Sum of Our Memories

 A Living Painting 

You float aimless in a sea of experiences. 

It's up to you to gather them how you see fit.

Take care though, as life is fleeting,

Only at the end will you know the value

Of your memories.

Others also roam this sea,

They are like you, yet different,

They too look for experiences.

Some may start better off than you,

Don't let it scare you.

Accidents happen. It's okay.

Dreams are shattered, memories forgotten.

Make the most out of the time you have

And you will be just fine,

You will be alright.

LDJAM 48 COMPO: The theme was "Deeper and Deeper."

After looking at my options during brainstorming, I got stuck on "Ageing" as a manifestation of going deeper. Why? Going deeper into old age, yes, but also gaining a deeper understanding of things. You have all the skills and experiences you've gathered during your life at your disposal. That's when I thought about Memories: an abstract game representing life as a collection of memories.

The main inspiration for this game comes from Rod Humble's The Marriage and Wassily Kandinsky's Composition 8

I've been learning gamedeving and Unity since April 2020. For me, Game Jams are a great opportunity to just let go and try something new, different. And there's nothing quite like Ludum Dare. <3

Enjoy!
