I spent most of it helping my sister move her stuff to her new house. It seems more and more lately that each ludum dare I get less and less time to work on my game. But each ludum dare I seem to keep on pulling out a better and better game, I guess I&#8217;m growing as a gamedev. That said, it wasn&#8217;t until about an hour after the 1 day mark that I got something rendering. I put a lot of work into the engine&#8230; probably to much. But the hope is that it will let me focus on gameplay &#8211; the hope -. Right now I have a mining ship that you can fly around using the keyboard and mouse or an xboxcontroller, and I have randomly spawned asteroids of different sizes with and without crystals. Here are some screenshots of the game so far.<\/p>\n <p><img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/vQspqPm.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"856\" height=\"509\" \/><\/p>\n <p><img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/me2sn6d.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"856\" height=\"509\" \/><\/p>\n <p>It&#8217;s not to much yet .. as you can see by the lack of ui\/background, but at least I have something despite all the time that I lost today, I might be moving to the jam, because I think this game really deserves some good time on it before I submit it.<\/p>\n <p>Btw here are the art assets I made for the asteroids:<\/p>\n <p><img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VM5hKud.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"156\" height=\"165\" \/><img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/6zXIkIn.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"133\" height=\"148\" \/><\/p>\n <p>All my assets are made using inkscape, I decided it might be fun to use vector art this LD, so I practiced for the day or two before hand. And I think it&#8217;s turning out pretty awesome!<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>","time":"April 26th, 2014 11:55 pm","title":"Actual Gameplay!"}
