[11:45 PM GMT]<\/p>\n

Just 2 hours left before dare ends. Managed to complete the game, not exactly with the initial game design but pretty close i think.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can play the game here http:\/\/keysgamestudios.com\/LD\/WebPlayer.html <\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And rate me here http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-24\/?action=preview&uid=14244<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will be writing a detailed postmortem of the game soon. Bye for now and thanks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[11:00 AM GMT]<\/p>\n

Introduced carnivores and made major tweaks of game design, still deciding on the final gameplay. Starting to look like a actual playable game :).<\/p>\n

[12:30 AM GMT]<\/p>\n

Most of the time is gone with modeliing and some silly errors with AI. Here is the updated vid.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Should Finish up UI and rest of gameplay by 12 Noon tommorow if i want to make a playable game :|.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some creature blends \":)\"<\/p>\n

[DAY2]<\/p>\n

[4:40 PM GMT]<\/p>\n

Spent a little time on modelling and a lot of time on core AI. Here is the results<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Right now the creatures are multiplying like crazy, have to tune the reproduce function \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[12 PM GMT]:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Initial Camera and creature movement complete. Long way to go.<\/p>\n

Talking short break from programming, moving to art :).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[9AM GMT] : Fnially decided on a game play.<\/p>\n

Evolution NExtinction<\/p>\n

1) Simple Creatures will be scattered on a flat world.They wander in search of food and water.<\/p>\n

2) When a creature finds food, it eats it and we as a player gain evolution points.<\/p>\n

3) We need to restock the food by speding some evolution points.<\/p>\n

4) We can also choose to evolve a particular creature to NEXT level. We have a choice to choose its evolution path Strong or Smart or Fast.<\/p>\n

5) Creatures reproduce if it is alive for a particular amount of time.<\/p>\n

6) Higher level creatures can damage lower level creatures.<\/p>\n

7) Natural calamities(Earthquake, fire, flood, cold etc) occur periodically which can endanger a particular species.<\/p>\n

7) It is our task to make as many creatures survive by managing our world and saving creatures from natural calamities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Such a monumental game play to do in 41hrs. But i can give it a try.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[8 AM GMT] – Woke up just now after a long sleep. Got some random ideas in head, trying to pickup something which is both fun and doable in next 42 hours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[2 AM GMT] – Theme is Evolution.<\/strong> Just looked at the theme and i am strait off to bed, hoping my brain can churn up some ideas during the sleep :).<\/p>\n

[DAY1]<\/p>\n

All set for ludum dare 24, will be posting my journey for the rest of the 48hrs here. Wish me luck.<\/p>\n
