Ludum Dare 56 October 4–7, 2024

Maybe I'm In

With a full time job, 2 little daughter and my uncle birthday tomorrow i dont have too hope finish a game but i have the intention! Have a nice Ludum Dare to everyone!

Just Joined

I would have forgotten if I wasn't at my dad's birthday party and Uncle Lance didn't say, "Hey when's your next Ludum Dare?" I said, "I don't know, probably later this year. I'll look." And it was today. This is for you, Uncle Lance.

First graphics... Some cute little creatures. Now to put them in an environment.

Arctan and object targeting

The little smurfs (purfs?) can target things. I have them following the avatar. I'm using a low resolution atan function for now and I'll fix it later if I have time. I tried to do the full angular resolution but I'm not debugging that.

The last gamejam I did was in college. I tried to do a chip-8 game then but had this crazy idea that I'd do wireframe 3d graphics for it. I wrote all these vector drawing functions for lines. triangles, filed and empty circular arcs etc and then realized I was pushing just a few pixels per frame and got bored and did something else.

I think it will be a sort of smurf themed dune game with mushrooms or something.ludum3.png

I've got a mock-up...

Took me literally hours to decide on what kind of game to make... but now I've got a mockup and it seems like my usual un-decipherable kind of game, so let's go for it!ld56.png

Sterkets. MonSTERs that you can put in a pocKET - Tadcoal

Original idea do not steal. These creatures are tiny enough that you can fit way more than 6 in your pockets.

Sterket #1 is Tadcoal. The top of its skull produces a combustible venom. It's in constant pain from being on fire all the time. Once it learns to ignore the pain, it matures into its next form.

Sketchy sketch

Forgs, slimes, ants, or some sort of plankton.
