Ludum Dare 56 October 4–7, 2024

Progress; Art and gameplay mechanics!

Switched the machinegun to a cannon that you charge up! It's a lot more fun and adds more depth to the gameplay. Gonna add a few more enemies and a way to get points, and make sure you die if you get hit obviously lol. Things are coming together nicely!

I was able to run the game on HTML5 on my phone (Cant actually play but it runs) and I was getting a stable 60FPS, even with the light layer I added! Everyone should be able to play this game :)

Horror games, anyone?

I haven't seen anyone making a horror game so far (except for some scary spider models if that counts).

So if you're into that sort of thing, I hope we will have got you covered.

My first Compo entry is done!

With still a couple of hours left before the deadline I managed to actually create a complete game in a weekend where I only had ~12 hours to make something. If you're also already done with yours why not be the first to give this game a rating and some feedback? Leave a link to your game in the comments and I'll give it a play too.

Progress by the end of second day

Cutting the scope anywhere we can, getting something that looks like a game by the end of Day 2… Hands hurt form coding, but we must press on!

DEFINITELY not a Zelda Clone

The old man in the Legend of Zelda is helpful. Dangerous.gif

This took me entirely too long. I still need the levels...

Tiny Creatures are slowely evolving

Our game is really coming together, it's the most proud we've been at this stage. We just to make sure we capture that fun now!

So... I made it?

This is the first time I publish an entry with so much time left ahead.

I don't belong to the group of heroes that do absolutely everything on their own so I cannot participate in the compo (I used some CC-licensed models & audio) but I'm very happy I was able to finish something in such a short time by myself.

It's also the first time I use godot for this and it's worked great really. I'm quite happy such a tool exists and it's only getting better.

Good luck to everybody that is still in the middle of the jam!

I am out.

So I have decided to not finish the competition this time. I had some changes that I wanted to implement, but I do not have enough time to change plan and I am not going to punish myself by trying to implement the changes with such little time. So I am finished this one with a loss. But, I am cool with that. I learned some new things while creating what I have.

Learning new things and challenging my self is why I do these. I've learned quite a bit from this one. So while I am not finishing the competition. It's still a win in my book.

Recording the game

I was recording the Club Penguin clone I made for the Jam while I was AFK.

How's it all going?

Hey jammers! Our first blog post, how are your games doing? We're fine and now making level generation and check out this art! imageem2024-10-06/em221817933.png

All the best! Morning tea studion

Finished early for once!

I had time to make music but I couldn't come up with anything and decided, whatever, I've done well enough without it in the past. And so, behold: Color Critters! Swap between the critters and use their unique abilities as you guide them through 15 puzzling levels of increasing difficulty!

Check it out here, and let me know what you think! I'm looking forward to playing everyone else's games during the rating period, but until then, I'm going to go celebrate getting the Compo finished early for a change!

Done!

2 hours and a half before the deadline ':D I just can't work on it anymore. It's almost what I had in mind except for a few missing FX, but I fear that not everything that a good falling-blocks puzzle needs. Quite proud of it, anyway. ^-^

Slow but Steady Progress

These enemies sure don't seem to like the tiny creatures...
