Last time I did this my WebGL build got kinda messed up, this time im trying to get it right... it all looks good from an outside perspective but it runs at like 1 frame a second.

any advice? I am using unity

Concept sketch, 24 hours, let's go.

It just seems like my game is simply falling apart :-D

Oopps I think I just removed that platform you were on buddy!

Making a game for the first time during Ludum Dare 54 with no/very low expectations! I was a bit limited on time today so there's plenty still to do, but it's getting somewhere

Watched a few Godot and Aseprite videos in the run up, most notably Brett Makes Games' "Complete 2D Platformer in Godot 4 Tutorial - Zero to Shipped Game for Beginners"

The source code is on GitHub at yndajas/ludum-dare-54

I also streamed the first few build hours yesterday and today on Twitch at /yndajas (not an exciting stream - I'm not a 'real' streamer!)

Actually, that doesn't even make any sense. https://youtu.be/9idWFvmqoKw

Working with @rsr-studios! Having lots of fun working on this game jam! I hope everyone else is also having lots of fun!

Hey all,

Wanted to ask on here for transparency's sake to see what the community thought.

We're a Jam team, I'm the composer. Have put a great deal of work into the music so far and will continue to for the rest of the jam. Our SFX guy seems to have ghosted. Thankfully, we're making a colony management type thing, and the only desperately needed sounds will be a couple of UI clicks and so on.

I found some ideal ones online to use - I didn't create them though. I obviously don't want to opt out of the Sound category completely having put all this time into the music, but I don't want to be dishonest either. Do you think it'd be reasonable for us to still opt-in for sound and just reference the UI sounds on the game page...? It'll literally be two clicking sounds.

Thanks!

Got a bit of progress with the clutter in this scene. Not nearly where I expected to be tonight, but I'm not giving up. (The player sprite is a placeholder...)

the goal of the game is to collect the flashing green plus signs. i've got two levels currently: https://verysoftwares.itch.io/hypno-room

Found some productivity time today, enough to build a neighborhood, figure out scoring, add a dangly lid, and fine-tune the gripper arm.

1. Deduct points if the trash can gets knocked over
2. Add sounds (doing the compo, so not sure how to do this without freesound for truck sounds)
3. Intro / Tutorial / Score screen
4. Some additional environmental things to make it feel just a bit better (trash coming out of cans, different cars, hydrants to run over, etc)
5. Gripper not detached from the truck :rolling_eyes:
6. Muzak
7. Test web export more, push to netlify

1. More environmental things (angry homeowners)
2. Nicer models (but realistically this one is probably just gonna be Godot Primitives)
3. Something other than "time trial" mode

Me and My good friend are a duo this Ludem dare, and i gotta say. its been a blast! The game will be finished soon and weve learned alot.

So Yesterday I got all the basics going and today is left for polish, menus and sounds. It´s a small game about a forklift operator in a small warehouse that is dangerously low on space.

The game is LUDUM DARE SOLID: LIMITED SPACE ACTION

It's a mini stealth game where the levels get smaller, and if you get spotted you lose.

Progress so far:

After this little nap, we are now ready to start our second day! Good morning from Belgium every one ! :smiley:

I never look forward to this moment in any game jam, but I've now reached the point where the process has stopped being fun. Christ I just want to be done already, but with less than 50% of the game done, I'll probably go on for a lot longer.

I only keep going because I'm invested in my own story now, shame I'm never doing a story-based game ever again after this lmao

It doesn't have a name yet, but you play as this little guy that can shapeshift in some specific areas to solve puzzles. This is just a mockup to see how the colors combine with each other.

Making great progress! 10 levels complete!

I added some juice, so things fly onto the screen.

I added the second robot type, who get their own set of instructions. I added a jump which moves two spaces and can cross gaps, but does nothing if two spaces ahead is blocked.

I added some cramped levels with multiple robots to manage, since if they crash the explode and you have to start over.

I have plenty of content and a good range of difficulty. I have one or two more features I can cram in tomorrow, but most of tomorrow is dedicated to music, sound, and polishing what I have.

Good luck all!
