Construct Problems

Does anyone know of a way that I can get a free license for construct?

Character health + consumable items

I spent the entire day tweaking the particle system for the character until I was somewhat happy with it. It's still not perfect but I really like the way it looks when standing still, especially the full health version is nice.

Here's a gif of going from full health to 75% and then back up by consuming a crumbled up paper. pvvqFJVLbV.gif

They can be destroyed!

Its almost a game whene you can kill the demons GIF-small.gif

Some Progress

The core thing I need to get figured out in the next couple of hours is the three main game puzzles. I've made progress on them but they're not figured out yet. So while I've been honing in on those I did a quick first pass draft on two more rooms.

All the rooms will need a lot more detail and iteration, especially once the puzzles are in place but getting the first draft helps move the game forwards.

Day 1

So, the gameplay works, but it's still too early to show.. But hey, at least you can check out the main characters!

This is a vampire who tries to save the king's daughter and get her out of plague-ridden town.

I'm in

I'm here, I didn't realize it started yesterday, but I'm always excited to take part. Y'all be makin' some great games. Let's have fun again and do great work.

Dawn of The First Day: Progress Update

Might be a good time to write my first blog post for this LD.

You're a farming bunny deeply in the red, and you have to make as much money as possible until you go eventually bankrupt!

Most basics are done, I still have to actually implement crops, a way to sell them, add some challenges, generally things that will happen with the number of turns going rapidly up and obviously actually making the game fun!

See you again tomorrow! :)

Day 1

The game mechanics are pretty much done with temporary sprites. Tomorrow: Lots of art, level design and polishing. Unfortunately I'm a bad artist :sweat_smile: but I probably have some more time to polish the game than usual, so will see how this turns out...

Keep on going everyone! :slight_smile:

Day 0.75 - here comes the hard part

I'm pretty sure that you don't remember that I said everything was going well a few hours ago. Well, now, it does'nt. What would be a Ludum Dare without any difficulties?

So, what happened? I'm not really happy with my drawing, it won't work well with the scaling we've chosen, but it's too late to re-draw everything. So I guess we're stuck with my bad choices? Here are some of the work I've done:

Meanwhile, Bouteille has been struggling with the code We're pretty far from a working prototype, but we'll both work on it tonight. Hope we'll find solutions to our problems?

Anyway, our brains now need a little break and some food.

Hope everything is going well for you all. And if like us you have issues with your project, I hope you'll find a way to make your game work! Have a nice end of the first day everybody!

CRAB IS INEVITABLE

Slept for 10+ hours and then awoke with a headache, but I'm making solid progress!

It is inevitable! The CRAB shall rule the world! Try to stop it if you'd like, but there's only one possible outcome.

Basic player movement/firing is working. Need to get some enemies in, a damage system, an upgrade system... a textbox system... a lot left to do.
