Ludum Dare 50 April 2–5, 2022

Very very late devblog

Phew. We were so busy at work for the past few days that we couldn't find time to post something here!

Finally!

So, first things first. From concept to realisation.

Our process somewhere, sometime during the second day. Снимок экрана 2022-04-05 024446.png Снимок экрана 2022-04-05 023938.png

Well... I did a thing

Story

You are the Shaman of the Island Kalani.

DLAY, The Inevitable, is almost waking up from his sleep. His hunger has no match, no matter how much you feed it. The time to face him and release the island from this curse is near.

Grab and throw sacrifices at him to defeat him and avoid his attacks.

End of Day 3!

I only managed a few hours on the game today as I had work but I'm very nearly done. I was always actually planning to enter the game in the new 'Extra' category as I don't like competing with my work. However I really wanted to be finished in the jam timeline, but sadly that's not gonna happen. I think one more night tomorrow and I should be finished.

I can't show the main stuff I did today as it's the ending so it's pretty spoilery, so the gif below should show some rooms have a bit more polish to them and I've now got the dialogue trees in.

Hopefully posting one last time tomorrow night to release the game. What's left:

  • Music
  • Sound Effect
  • Intro
  • Ending
  • More "Look At" descriptions
  • SPECIAL SECRET

Lesson learned: Same thing I learn everytime, my scope is too big. Even cutting 1 of the 3 rooms it was still a bit too big. I'm going to finish this up because I can't stand to have another unfinished project on the pile but I need to beat myself with the scope stick even harder in future.

Is this dog?

I'm feeling particularly....Trashy....today

I was delaying the inevitable of taking out the trash in real life, so I made a game about it instead

Rules violation to add name/credits after deadline?

Hi! I know there's an exception for fixing bugs after the compo ends, but I realize I didn't put my name or a link to my work literally anywhere inside my game and I'd kinda like to have it there while people are playing. Is it a rules violation to add that after the fact? Totally understand it might be but if anyone has a better idea of this that'd be so helpful.

PSA: Finding Games You've Rated

Posting this here because I never would have known about this if I hadn't read it in a jam comment a year or so ago.

If you go to to the event page (ie https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50, or any previous jam), go to:

Ludum Dare 50 > Me > My Grades

...and you'll find a handy list of all the games you've rated! Super handy if you're like me and have a really massive/messy browser history. Also very useful for after the jam when you want to go revisit an awesome game you remember playing!

DONE.

It didn't go as smoothly as LD49, but I still finished it!

Voxel Art can be Cool and Fun

First time trying voxel art and I can't believe I haven't tried it sooner! It's so fun and I definitely learned a lot making this simple little room for LD50 :blush:

All voxel assets in our game were made with MagicaVoxel!

My first LD done! Playing Dave is now out.

Very happy but very very tired, because it's my first game jam where I've done, apart from designer and artist 2d work; the programmer rol.

Pleasure to participate in this jam. I hope you enjoy the game.

Take Care.

STORY

Playing Dave! is a hilarious narrative and mini platform game where you play Anthony, a sound designer, that has to cover his friend by doing his job as a game developer.

Anthony will have to apply all his knowledge in video-games to impersonate his friends job, in order to DELAY THE INEVITABLE: Dave’s dismissal.
