Ludum Dare 55 April 13–16, 2024

Finished my first Ludum Dare ever!

Today I woke up at 5 AM and found out that there is only 3 hours left into the compo.

Only took few hundred Firefox tabs, random terminal windows, a few hundred Godot warnings and errors, and 24 hours+ of neofetch uptime (i use arch btw).

But after all that, I finally finished my game in just a few minutes left. The game may be a bit rough in some edges, ldjam.com web build doesn't work, but overall I'm very happy about how it turned out!


If you want to try it out, check it out here! Thanks :D!

Thank you everyone! I'm going to rest for a moment and play some games after that!

Summonfactory needs you!

Welcome to Summonfactory!

You are a summoner who needs to feed the burning desire of the devils machine. You could do all by hand but why dont you summon some of those nifty demons to help you out?

Feed the requested items to the hellish machine to win!

How many spirits can I capture with my mystical board?

Did you see our first board on the first day? Now we have the final version, and honestly, we love the result. It has a distinctly medieval artistic touch, and we strived to make it look like it has been passed down through generations.

Do you think we succeeded?

Here's the first version:

Hentoad is done

And I'm done too, this last rush was absolutely exhausting, with all the usual last minute bugs.

Look a them go though! Hen and Toad sacrifice themselves to summon each other for jolly demonic cooperation. Have fun with the game!

As for me I'm heading to bed. Can't wait to play everyone's games!

Animations

We got our prototype done, now it's time for QA stuff like art, models, music and levels.

This is my first time modeling in Blender, I made material textures in GIMP using noise filters and animated the player character in Godot.

Obligatory "Here's my game"-post

So yea- here's my game :)

Compo scope creep is real- and that's me saying it even though I got a whole lot done :D

Now time to sleep for 24 hours. See you all on Tuesday!

Chugging along

I felt like I was moving at a snail's pace today, but looking back I got a decent amount done.

I'm pretty horrible with art so the textures aren't great and the characters look ridiculous, but I think it's starting to come together into a thing that almost resembles a game

you can summon now

nothing makes sense but hopefully it will soon

I am also participating!

This is my first time sharing my progress for LD55. After my second all-nighter I am only now confident enough to call that I am going to "finish" this and to post something. I am exciting to participate in my second Ludum Dare! But I'm fearing this is going to be another "failure". I am always too ambitious, even when I try to stick to unoriginal, "simple" ideas at the end I always run out of time to make it a complete package. I already spent way too much time polishing unimportant stuff, creating art, animations and UI, despite not calling myself an artist, and now there is so little time left. I often wish I wasn't doing this solo.

Anyway, tomorrow I need to focus on making the game actually fun and add some variety. And hopefully I also find some time for sounds this time.

Game Finished!

Our game is ready to play!!

You're a skele-dad :skull: who is constantly summoned :sparkler: to defend a crypt :coffin: from a rude :angry: adventurer. Attempt to achieve a work-life balance :scales: by completing tasks at home :house: AND at work :office:. :sweat_smile:

I finished my first solo game jam!

This is the first time I've participated in a Ludum Dare, it was a lot of fun! I'm surprised I didn't over scope, maybe that's a bad thing, not the real experience. It's really cool to see what I can do in such a short timeframe, check it out if you have time!

The game is a twin-stick shooter where you summon new guns instead of reloading. Just make sure to hold right click when you summon!
