Progress as of first night

Well, we can now walk around and hop up/down these little ledges. It's not nothing! Tomorrow I'll start working on putting together some actual game mechanics and building puzzles with this system.

Death & Taxes

This is the direction I will be taking for this edition of LD 50. Good luck to you all ! :)

First night done!

Time to sleep well and continue working hard tomorrow! Goodnight everyone! Here are some more sprite my teammate made!BUGZ.PNG :O

Delay the pat?

So, we're trying to pat a cat, but find only things, dropped down...

Time for actual game development!

I've been working on my open-source Ludum Dare engine's functionality for the moment; however, it's "feature complete" enough to start making my game. More updates to follow as it comes together. :smile:

Getting started!

Here's a cursed progress pic. It'll be funny to compare my finished game to this!

It's a van!

OMG it actually works! I can create simple models just using Godot using its primitives! :star:

Pixel Artist looking for a team - preferably haven't started / just started idea

Hi there, I'm not sure if I still got the chance to join. I had asked one team previously looking forward to join me in the game jam, turned down last minute. And then I asked another one, suddenly last minute unable to commit as well. Now here I am as solo artist, staring at the screen wondering what shall I do. I had ideas, my 2 votes - one of them is Delay is inevitable. I'm just wondering if any team out there lacking of pixel artist (My tool is aseprite / tiled for map), do let me know.

In case this message is not reachable to anyone, I guess I gonna pass this LDjam this time.

day one done?

Game Idea Down!

Happy 20th Birthday LudumDare! 50 events is such a incredible milestone!

How are we feeling about the theme, Delay the Inevitable? Seeing some really neat ideas so far on the feed :D

Here's what HonestDan, BrainoidGames, and Spacey3D have come up with so far for our entry:

the theme

The only thing I'm delaying is coming up with an idea :face_palm:

Make sure you stretch and walk around a bit

Going to be a long day in front of the computer, so be sure you keep your blood flowing and your muscles loose. Take a couple of minutes to walk around and do some stretches once an hour or so, your body and mind will thank you!

I'm off the mark

After a lot of brainstorming, I've settled on doing a Metroidvania-type game. The concept is simple: your wife is dying of a rare disease, and you must venture into a dangerous temple to retrieve a rare flower that won't cure her, but will at least delay the inevitable, and give you more time with her before she passes on. I'm gonna try and do two endings: a good ending where you return with the flower in time, and a bad ending where you don't.

I'm treating it as a spiritual successor to my LD43 entry, The Gods Are Angry. The story themes and gameplay are fairly similar, and as a result, I'm taking graphical cues from it as well:

Hopefully this time I don't overscope.

We are back making games!!))

Hello everyone, after our first success in the form of lost poem and the first failure of drunken hobo , we thought about everything and this time we will try to do something interesting, I hope all the teams have fun and do something cool, good luck and success at the ludum , remember it is not about winning it is about process, thanks for attention everyone

B-Game Art

I've done more than I thought I would since starting 6 hours ago, implemented some simple flocking for the Bs and made a little art.

The goal will be to locate flowers to harvest, which will be a limited resource. Once the timer runs out, Winter arrives and your honey is divided amongst the workers. Run out of honey during a winter and it's the end of your reign Queenie.

First sketch

So, we play as a bee colony that is trying to stop a lumberjack. sketch.jpg

Mr.Filton Deluxe | Draw to survive!

ezgif.com-gif-maker (6).gif

The game is about a sentient AI art software called Mr.Filton. He drew you into his game, and you now must defend yourself using your brush!! My goal is to create some kind of KidPix, but with a survival interface, where you draw your defenses.

This is what i have, now time to polish stuff, and create living brush things :smile:
