Ludum Dare 51 September 30–October 3, 2022

On the backfoot

Since the theme is always announced pretty late UK time, I usually just spend some time thinking about my idea then go to bed. This means I wake up to start of my day 1 with all of you already making awesome progress, feeling a little behind. However never the less I've got an idea I think I can make work and I've now started working on it properly.

I knew I wanted to make an adventure game since that's where my head is at lately so I've decided to make a game where every 10 seconds you flip between two realities. One an american detective noir crime scene and the other a scifi moon base. Time resets each time you move back and forth, the only thing not resetting is you. So you have to use knowledge from the two locations and how the next 10 seconds will play out to solve puzzles and escape.

I've got my SNES framework up and running and I have broad designs for 3 puzzles, including a relatively fun twist ending. LET'S GO!

I was wondering why my game was laggy...

Going to eat, current state

Capture d’écran du 2022-10-01 13-38-53.png Here, I'm currently working on UI, you can compose your train, and that's it. Now, it's time to eat.

We made up a great idea for our game!

mood: coding coding and GAMEDESIGNING a super cool game that will blow all AAA games and inspire me to make even more awesome games !!!

W0rk Begins...

Remember when we were kids, we spent all nights playing games instead of sleeping or doing homework? Do you remember how scary it was when one of the parents suddenly came right to the door of your room? This game is just about that!😃

By the way, there is already a concept of location!😲 bc7faa11-96f3-413a-befa-8f16e3d266e0.jfif

Unity just deleted whole of my project

I had a bug then decided to restart Unity, because she likes to bug and restart often helps

Saved everything

And after that I realized that whole of my project is gone, I got empty scene even without a camera lol

Didn't use git this time and that was the mistake

Starting over lol

The feeling...

That feeling when you head to bed after the first night being like yeah...i'm in good shape and further than I thought I'd be...then toss and turn all night and get no sleep because there is so much that has to get done.

CARAVAN

Here's my silly LD51 entry.

I don't see the option to upload embedded, so it's linked to itch.io. What am I missing?

How?

I don't know how this happens, exactly. I was thinking about how to create a top-down camera in CineMachine. Yes, there are specific ways to do it, but the docs state it's "modeled after human operators and cameras." So that got me thinking... human operators filming top down are usually in helicopters, or on boom arms. Thus ....

... and the player likely won't even see much of it.

I am doing something!

Yet to implement the "Every 10 seconds" thing but it's coming soon hopefully.screeni.jpg

Map generation, check

So, i´ll make a game with some kind of labyrinth that changes every 10 seconds - random generation looks kinda good, at least good enough for now :thinking:

Wow, what is up with Unity?

I actually have a decent idea I think but Unity just keeps crashing and losing all my work. Backups only help so much when it keeps happening. I keep seeing others talk about similar issues, weird as it is usually very stable for me.

Might have to rethink my idea to something I can do in JavaScript again this time time around.

First gamejam that I am doing by myself!

Exiting and a bit scary to do gamejam solo for the first time. Here is what i've got so far, a base controller and the art style I am going for. basecontrollgif.gif

We are watching you!

I don't know where this is going, but I already know it's going to be something weird :D

Lunch break

20221001_135724.jpg When I participated to LudumDare the first time (13th edition if I correctly remember), there was a voting category for food photo, and at this time I always forgot to take a picture BEFORE eating. I'm kind of late for this one.

Now, I'll go back to work after a coffee making session.

Watch out, Freud is definitly not happy !

Get ready for our next adventure, where we'll explore the vastness of the mind... 🧠

You'll be accompagnied along your trip by no one less than our beloved 🇫 🇷 🇪 🇺 🇩 himself ! :pencil: :eyeglasses:

But be careful, he doesn't seem pleased by our little trip...

So get ready, grab your most confortable therapist couch and let's dive in ! :couch:

THE TECH IS IN - LIGHT UP THE UNIVERSE

2D URP set up, FMOD enabled, a timer, and a first particle system.

Im ready to get started on: LIGHT UP THE UNIVERSE

Looking forward to see what i can do in the remaining 55 hours!LightUpTheUniverseV0.png

Going for a teeny tiny break now. but the development stream continues in 15 minutes! twitch.tv/espress0o

"Space Clout" is coming together!

We now have a function earth, and launchable satellites!

Screenshot from 2022-10-01 14-29-58.png

Tune in for our game "Space Clout", where you launch a satellite into orbit every 10 seconds! But be careful your satellites don't collide (and explode!), as that could make some of your fans very angry ;)

Prototyping our Hero

Just want to address the elephant in the room....
