Leaving Satisfactoria – Ludum Dare #16
My entry for the 16th Ludum Dare 48-hour game creation competition. This competition was themed “Exploration”.

Background
I wanted to break the normal “exploration” mold, where the goal is to uncover every single square on a map. The following elements were under focus:
- A conscious decision to depart from a comfortable space (leaving home)
- The one-way journey, leading your exploration far from the comfort zone
- Accepting the danger before you
The actual “exploration” probably occurs after the end of the game. You will most likely have to play a few times before reaching all points on the field, this is by design.
Tools
The entire game was built with the Pygame Python-based engine. You can get that here. Graphics were done entirely in MSpaint. Sound effects courtesy of sfxr.
