I’m In!<\/p>\n
Wait … what?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Due to an overwhelming dose of real life, my LD entry became a little delayed. However, I’m escaping<\/em> real life for the next 13 hours to write one quarter of an LD game. (in one quarter of the usual time). I’m hoping I can write the correct quarter – so that I come out with a playable game at the end.<\/p>\n I’ll be using my own framework on top of SDL<\/a>, which – if you’d like to join me in this quarter-LD madness – can be downloaded here<\/a>. As usual, it’s buggy and incomplete, but hopefully will save me time in the end. Despite being based on SDL I use a bunch of windows stuff, so it’s Windows Only.<\/p>\n I’m also recording my adventure using my screenshot capture program from LD18.\u00a0You can download it from\u00a0here (Windows only)<\/a>. It\u2019ll ask for a path (which needs to end in a slash \u2013 ie: C:\\Screenshots\\\u201d); a count (files are saved as 0001, 0002 etc, so this is the first number); and the time between screenshots in seconds. Due to the wonderful hack I used to write it, it wipes the clipboard every time it takes an image. Beware!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Onto the game …<\/p>\n With time racing past, I need to write something very (very) simple. So I’m aiming for a physics-based puzzle adventure platform game with RPG elements. \u00a0Without the RPG stuff, or the adventure stuff, or the puzzle stuff.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Onwards and upwards! (Or sideways to the next platform).<\/p>\n <\/p>","time":"August 21st, 2011 4:56 am","title":"Declaration of Intent"}
