Gearing up for Ludum Dare this weekend.<\/p>\n

All going well, it will be my first LD since 2012 (I attempted one last December but didnt finish anything worth submitting)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be using Unity this time round, since its a much more popular\/trusted game engine for posting games online with (rather than the\u00a0Blender\u00a0Game Engine\u00a0\u2013\u00a0which Ive used for most past LDs). Im feeling like making something space-ish (like usual), or perhaps something a bit out there, like a \u2018fake\u2019 isometric in a 3D game setting.\u00a0\u00a0Chaos, Deep Space, Isolation and \u2018You Are Not Supposed To Be Here\u2019<\/strong> are all themes that got my vote in the final round. Any of those would be great!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Software for this round:<\/strong><\/p>\n

GameEngine: Unity [C#]<\/p>\n

Programming:\u00a0Sublime Text 2<\/p>\n

3D\/Animation\/Modelling\/Rigging\/Texturing: Blender<\/p>\n

2D: GIMP<\/p>\n

Sound: Audacity<\/p>\n

Music: ?? (probably going to opt-out)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also heres a quick turntable of a robot box-thing I worked on in the week leading up to now, in order to get more used to the workflow between Blender and Unity (especially when it comes to importing animated objects).<\/p>\n

The legs fold up into the box itself, in a rough animation thats not quite good enough to show off yet (this wont be used at all for the LD ofc, its just something LD-related I whipped up to get back into the swing of things)<\/p>\n
