Aha - got a bunch of stuff to do on both Saturday and Sunday, so this may be a 24-35 hour thing. I have managed to get mobile controls and separate controllable mice working so far. Now for everything else , and cats.

Even cows, sheep and pigs are teeny tiny creatures if you look from far enough away :)

Tool Set :

Godot 4 GDScript Krita paint.net Blender

Happy Jamming

I have to prep for D&D night, I should have cancelled but i didn't, so now I have to go DM.

Tasks done:

Game Idea Player Controller Player Model

I would like to offer music composition for this LD to anyone who needs it. I can do normal tracks, or dynamic music that changes with the action. Some examples from my previous LD entries can be found here. If you normally go solo but feel like having help with music this time, please reach out to me. Thanks!

No goblins!

These boards must be stacked, and then glued together with a special sap which conducts electricity. The red boards are "critical" and have important but dangerous components which have to be worked around.

No problem with the ideas, But mechanics is a different story...

I had largely not realized LD was this weekend! But it's a great theme, so let's give it a go. We have a sweet little parakeet who's been living with us for a few years now. His name is Little Bird. He's very sick right now and just came back from several days in the vet ICU. I'm gonna make him a game so that he can feel better! Therefore, it's time to make:

LITTLE BIRD'S LITTLE ADVENTURE! :bird: :bird: :bird:

I'm going to make it in Pico8 and it's going to be wonderful. Just you wait.

Look at the silly guy that is not cast into any torment! what silly name does this silly guy have?

Man, what an absolute 💩show of a week!

Started it off with a visit to the ER, and a second of my three monitors blowing out (leaving me down to one functional monitor!)

Wednesday and Thursday I spent dismantling the monitors, fixing broken internal wires, recapping circuit boards, and getting them all mostly functional again. -- The third one still has some minor issues, so I've orded some parts to fully fix it next weekend. For now, I'll live with two monitors.

I also noticed my laptop wasn't turning on, so last night I ended up replacing the battery for that as well... -- Though I plan to do my gamedev from my desktop, it will be nice to have a lower spec system to test on.

Apparently though, something I do have going for me, is that past Mikey had the foresight to take Monday off -- likely, he was anticipating that I will want to sleep the whole day. -- Thanks, past-Mikey!

As for the "Tiny Creatures" theme, I'm got a number of weird ideas floating around in my head... haven't ruled out the idea of finally doing a Brain Slugs game. -- But something about my ER visit really wants to go in the "Fantastic Voyage" route, where you get shrunken down and injected into the veins of like... some BS thing... like the president's horse or whatever -- to save it's life (because obviously, the fate of the free world hangs in the balance). I feel like I could make a really absurd and funny game out of that premise...

A third option that just hit me while installing Unity and Visual studio is... maybe something with toys... like in a haunted doll house or something? -- It is spooky season after all...

Or maybe I'll do something completely different, like the little electrical creatures that live inside of power cables and make computers work (low-tech Tron?). So many choices!

Wish me luck! --Mikey

Here are some pictures of the monitors, laptop, and final desk setup:

I've participated in 48 hours jam once, but I am really excited in participating in LD! Hope I am able to create something

Hello internet!!

We are proud to announce that CLOWNWORKS, the ultimate team behind INVERSIO NEGOTIUM, is IN for LD56 Jam! While we're not too happy with the theme, we already have a few ideas we want to explore.

THE TEAM

• Kacper "Pierogo" Herchel - The Ratmaster (gRATphics & progRATmming) 🐀
• Krzysztof "Lisek Gagatek" Dobrzański - The Rat Wizard (progRATmming) 🐀
• Maciej "Bułke" Ziółkowski - The Rat Hacker (progRATmming) 🐀
• Tomasz "tako" Pijanowski - The Ratatouille (song wRATer) 🐀

THE PLAN

THE TOOLS

I told y'all I'd bitch and moan

!!!!!!

I set up the CI for our game: https://chimpenseurs.github.io/LD56/

That is very basic, but hopefully, I'll have time to improve it.

Awesome theme, have a great jam everybody.

give me some 4 digit codes (that do not include 0) that seem hard to put in when trying to go fast (its for my game trust)

I'm planning to create a Hearthstone-style card-battler where your deck is an army of insects, chosen from the mighty forces of the Spiders, the Bees, the Moths, and the Beetles.

Rather than fighting a symmetrical opponent, you will be fighting a single boss with powerful abilities - those larger predators that often make meals of insects, such as toads, bats, and snakes.

For building your deck, you will be able to choose 2 out of the 4 insect armies. Each army has a specialized playstyle: - Spiders: Poison, web traps to slow and control the boss - Bees: Strength in numbers, buff your forces - Moths: Support, stalling, healing - Beetles: Defensive tanks, raw attack strength

...Anyway, I probably won't finish, but this will be a fun weekend project regardless! Yolo
