The Stitcher by christopf

[raw]
made by christopf for LD30 (JAM)
update 15.9__

playable :)

so finally i finished a playable version that hasn't been tested more than twice. But i hope it is running smoothly on your system.

I highly recommend using a standalone flashplayer otherwise the fullscreen won't work (sadly :/ )

This is my first game and i heavily underestimated the short time you have on a gamejam. i participated once in a jam as painter but that was an easy job since i'm a little more used to it. but this time i tried myself in programming and i hardly finished a sometimes workable mechanic right to the jam finishing time. but it was just a mechanic and so it wasn't a real game yet.

i then tried to finish it to the end of the voting period so people who already saw my entry and wished to play have the chance too. but it was a stressful time since i have obviously no working time managment. today i smashed everything together so it kind of works (i would say its playable) but in my head there are a thousand things to do if this should be more enjoyable. but i guess you can say that about nearly every game.

and i have no clue in how far this is interesting and if i should keep working on it. so if you play it maybe you could give me some critic. would make me glad.

so thanks a lot for all this reading and i hope you can enjoy this game.


controls is wasd or arrows, the rest is told ingame.
F2 for fullscreen, F3 for mute (actually gamemusic i will add next days)

Each and every time I click on this game while browsing the Play+Rate page, the deception is here. Good luck, since you are not time pressured anymore, take some time to polish it!

Just get it out in whatever state it is. Trust me, it will feel better.

Why submit it if it's not finished? Isn't the point of LD to submit it regardless of it's state? Just wonderin, from that picture the game does look neat.

@MunkeeBacon you definitly right. but i pushed the game as far as i could to 3am in the morning (was ddeadline here) and then thought i upload what i got. but it wasnt really game until then and i dont think anyone would have enjoyable time. but you cant delete your entry (or i couldnt figure out)

I'm pretty sure you can not do this. The whole point of the compo/jam is to have a time limit to create a game. You have already went through your 72 hours + 1 week extra. Participating in this competition with 1 week extra makes the competition unfair for the rest of us. Anyways, I wish you good luck on your next ludum dare so you can actually finish in time.

:D
that's fore sure hamster. i did not imagine to participate anymore as i removed the file off this site.
but i read on past LDs that people drop a post-competition version when they took some time after the jam to make their game better (or in my part playable). nevermind i wont think anybody will vote based on an image, a title and a lot of comments :P

17 people already voted while the game is not even playable...

Presumably it's mostly comments, not actual ratings :]

Anyway, I concur! The pic looks cool and I'm really curious to see what the gameplay will be like.

It took me like three tries to get a game for Ludum Dare, you don't need to submit something if you don't have anything. Just try again next time.

Also you shouldn't really be voting on other games without anything submitted yourself.

Honestly, why post if you don't even have anything?
