DDL lab is a simulator game created at Ld51, which ended up playing well, ranking 26th globally in innovation and 366th globally in overall rankings.

Gameplay:

The game mechanism is relatively simple, each marble represents a schedule, I need to shoot the marble to the timeline, the schedule represented by the marble determines the player’s stress, the mood of multiple dimensions, the player needs to make a good numerical management, so that the player’s mood and stress in the appropriate range. And if there is too much schedule planning in a day, there may be a timeout penalty.

Innovation

The theme of LD51 is “ Delay the inevitable“, during the brainstorming stage, I quickly thought of the common problem of deadline assignments in college students and overtime work in the workplace, so I wanted to make a schedule planning simulator, and at the same time, I wanted to incorporate some interesting terrain of the Chinese Internet, for example, the classic characters of the Chinese Internet such as Ding Zhen, Sun Xiaochuan, and so on.

Version 2.0

The development program of ddl-lab has been restarted this year to develop version 2.0, which is a great improvement in game strategy and art performance. Based on the original ddl-lab, it will add some special effects for events, as well as some background narratives.
