We’ve finally finished our game. Link to the entry.
Changes from previous version:
The game was tested in Chrome 19, Firefox 13, Opera 12 and Safari 5.1. It should also work on IE9-10, but I’ve not tested it.
Thanks Ludum Dare for finally pushing us to make a game.
Hope you like it!
I am finally done my entry!
I have learned from my mistakes from the previous competition I joined. This time I did not aim too high, but at least I was able to complete the whole thing. It is a replica of the game called Symon Says, only I call it Conniac Says.
It can be set to full screen, and it also contains an extreme mode where the buttons move as you try to memorize the pattern of the notes!
It also keeps track of high scores.
Here is a screen shot of what it looks like:
It might not look like much from this image, but the overall project was well over 2, 000 lines of code, and that’s not including spaces of comments. The worst part about all of this is that I started this project entirely from scratch, no re-used code from previous projects.
I hope you enjoy it!

My game’s coming along! I had to start pretty late, but I’m quite pleased with the idea.
EDIT: Maybe I’ll leave the player to discover the most gruesome moment in the game for themselves, instead of using it as a promo pic.
UPDATE: It’s almost finished!
Here’s another screenshot:

I was 10 lines from completion, and then an error came out of nowhere!
My aim was to submit it by tonight, but it’s late and I’m tired, and I think it’s the interpreter…
So I’ll continue it tomorrow.
*Sigh*
So, basically what’s been going on with me and Wonckay’s game is that we don’t know when to stop adding stuff. We just want to keep widening our scope, and it’s becoming a bigger and bigger project. At first, we just wanted to “The Jam” it, take an extra day, but now we can’t stop. This game is turning more and more huge, and we can’t bring ourselves to cut anything out, because well, that would be a disservice to the game, right? We talked it over, and Nick has this to say:
“It’s for the journey, not the goal.”
I think it’s better to do what makes the best game. It’s not a competition, and it’s our first time. [as a team, anyway.]
So, we’re going to take yet another day. And maybe more. And in the spirit of the MiniLD, we will break the rules to make a game of mass awesomeness.
So I recently added water to my voxel engine and have been playing around with it…. one thing I have found out is that water is sooo much fun to code, it’s tricky to get a decent simulation and hard to get something that is stable and looks nice, but once you make something you are pleased with, you just wanna play around with it so much! 😛
At this rate I might have a full voxel engine ready by the time the next LD competition drops… be able to spend the full 48 hours on actual gameplay and making a game to suit the theme…. that should be fun.

I’m going to be rebuilding level 2, I could have had the game released 6:00pm yesterday! *sigh*
oh, well.

Thanks again Olav for the awesome dare minild!
As every Jam i’ve done, and often heard said: I didn’t get to finish it as much as I had wanted, but I learned alot.
Spent 6-8 hours over the course of two days, puttin things here and there, had a blast with designing something as simple as possible, with self imposed dares.
I DARED to :
-Compose a simple platformer where you only run and jump
-Use a very minmal pallete of 4-5 colors.
-used only 2 different platform objects.
-implement a secret cheat code. (“SREBMUN”)
-disregard deadlines, and make the game a day late, and
release it two days late.
-Collaborate with good friend @KhyleDean
-Use Music I didn’t make myself for a change.
Had a Blast with it, and learned lots of new stuff, and more importantly, got an idea of what I need to learn, and what I want to learn.
Thanks again for runnin the comp,and thanks for all the people participating,
always lookin to the next one.

You guys may have heard of Darwin Tunes before. If not, it is an experiment on evolutionary computation, where small music samples are automatically generated, and evolved based on feedback from the public.
After you give feedback to any particular sound loop (follow the instructions in the side), you are given a link to download the loop you just heard. The loops are CC-BY-NC, so I guess they could be used for LD?
Most of them sound really cool, so this seems like a good alternative for those of us without great musical talents 
I just finished watching “Indie Game, The movie”, and felt like Doing something new…I really enjoyed the movie and think that anyone who has been to this website should see it…Maybe its the monster that I had but I kinda want to make a big project too. It seems like alot of work compared to what i do now (work on something till i get bored then pretend its done), but it looks to be much more rewarding.
SO…Im really looking to see if someone thinks that this is a reasonable quest and if so what should i make and if so would you actually download this… (Im thinking along the lines of a new version of puzzle game, i like those)… If you actually read my entire rant about this I thank you very much…

There’s a pretty neat game jam coming soon that you should join…it needs more members!
It’s called Hack-A-Jam.
What I like about it is two things: First, there’s an ‘infinite amount of categories you can win in’ which is pretty cool, since it allows for mind-blowing originality to shine.
You also get a nice badge to brag about if you’re one of the winners; which is really cool and could also be helpful on your resume in the future.
Theme and time is voted on by the community.
check it out here!
(Also notice my overwhelming presence as FilasisNome …it really needs some more members! 70% of the people who signed up for it forgot to attend this time (?:)
Maths Rush for Windows Phone 7 is now available to download from the Windows Phone Marketplace.
Based on the stats people are playing it over and over again. I know I am.
As with all the all the apps/games I currently make, all revenue generated will be donated to Action Duchenne. You can find out all about Action Duchenne here.
You can find Maths Rush here.

Global high scores are in test and will be submitted for review in the next couple days.
I’ve been in the process of porting my entry (LINK HERE) to windows.
It’s going alright, just keep running into problems that take me hours to figure out.
Would the windows users here be interested in playing if I decided to finish this?
It’s screenshot Saturday and I thought I’d share this with the Ludum Dare folks:
I’ve been making some variations to some of the cubes to add some… variation. The stronger cubes will be less rare as the game progresses. And I’m currently on level 4… Which means I’ve only completed 1 level since the demo… sorry guys! :/
Looks like now I don’t want to release another level unless it really stands out. But keep checking for updates and previews – the full game will be a blast!

For LD#23 I tried to create a sort of fast-paced puzzle game called Tinyville Confidential. I wasn’t really able to finish it on time for LD (here‘s my entry), but I finally got around to working on it some more! Now featuring multiple levels, the ability to win the game, and (hopefully) a time limit that’s actually fun. Give it a try!
I probably won’t work on it much more, but I’d still be happy to hear comments and suggestions. I’m really happy that LD inspired me to make this interesting game, and I’m looking forward to LD#24!
Just ported the game to windows. First time I’ve ever done this. Tested it on my computer running windows 7 and it works fine, though my friends xp machine couldn’t run it for some reason. Maybe something in the build settings of visual c++, or it’s just his computer. Feel free to try it yourself though. Just click the windows link I added to the entry http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/minild-35/?action=preview&uid=13728 .
