Ludum Dare 55 April 13–16, 2024

Finished my game!

I finally finished my game in time for the compo! Really enjoyed the game making, it was really fun and hard to achive this to me. I hope you will enjoy my game. CoverImage.png cat.png

Court Summons Summoner

You are a struggling out-of-work Wizard Monster Summoner due to the recent recession and can’t find any work summoning monsters. You apply for a job at the court for the role of Court Summoner not realizing that it’s the wrong type of summoning. So now you are stuck doing this boring court summons job where your skills are vastly underappreciated. You are tasked with summoning monsters of the most variety to ensure a fair court trial, which you use your summoning skills for by finding them in the city and forcing them into court duty.

GAME

When blender didn't export the animations, ludumdare didn't load on chrome and unreal crashed... I was about to give up... But what kind of gamer would I be then?

Luckily because in the end I think it ended well.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Summoning our last reserves

Day 2 went well, but unfortunately, as for both my teammate and me, life will get in the way on Monday, and so the hours remaining for the final touches are dwindeling. We are however very happy with how for we've come and how relatively smooth things are going - especially comparing our last Jam together, where we mostly ran from fire to fire, and on the way spreading some more fires...

Also, we are just excited to see what everyone else will come up with!

Late start

The jam ends in 1 day 7 hours and 23 minutes, time to get started! I had an unlucky conflict this weekend, so I couldn't yet spend any time on jamming. Until now! I will not allow my 11 jams long LD streak to go to waste. Worst of all, I have work in the morning... but with 6 hours of sleep, that should still leave me ... 31-8-6 = 17 hours to create something!

So far I have: - a game concept in my mind (with a scope way too big) - an empty github repo

So far I don't have: - anything else.

Wish me luck, and see you at the finish line!

More progress

From concept to pixel art

It took me several tries, but I finally managed to go from concept to a beginning of a decent art piece! Good references really are key! After diner, heads and wings!

Game "finished"!

It has been ages since my last jam and I have never done one alone.
I think it turned out alright for a first attempt of doing everything by myself and from scratch.
Looking forward to playing all of your games!

I am so done

Ok, that's it. It is not great, but it is something. I didn't give crazy amounts of efforts this time around, but still quite proud of my result.

Good luck and strong finish to all fellow compoers, and to the jammers as well!

Our game about demon post office is in development

Hello, jammers! Right now we're on our way to release our game called «Before Summon» where you play as a postman in the underworld, who creates and sends demons to the earth-realm. Like in a regular post office, but with demons :smile:

Mechanics: Customization

You are going to create your own demons according to the order you receive To do so, you need to choose right body parts for your demon

But how do you know which part is correct? You'll have a clipboard with hints from "client", so you can choose a proper part.

We'll show you other mechanics soon!
