Twenty minutes before the theme is announced, I definitely go for this new edition of Ludum Dare!

Today has been a particularly difficult day here were I live because some manifestations are taking place. Farmers from all over the country are demanding better conditions to keep farming our day to day fruits and vegetables. They have blocked all routes to other towns and cities.

So, if the theme is surveillance, I could be doing a game about police, helicopters, riots, city sieges and the like. Let’s see.

I’ll use the same tools I’ve been using the last two participations:

• IDE: IntelliJ IDEA
• Language/Framework: Haxe/OpenFL/HaxePunk
• Sound: bfxr/GarageBand
• Textures: Pixen

God spede!

Yes, I am entering!

I have learned a lot since my previous entry (A lot!) and this time I will be submitting a game made with HTML5 and it’s standards!

These are my tools:
>>Sublime Text 2
>>Firefox
>>Gimp/Photoshop depending on theme
>>Some random music editing program [No idea!]
>>Most important tool – Google

Anyway, good luck too all participants!

BinaryBot.

using love, Tiled with Advanced Tile Loader if the need be. Paint.NET or GIMP for graphics. SFXR and Bosca Ceoil for audio if I get around to it.

probably forgotten to mention something important. I am really incompetent. okay

So basically I’m using this LD as an excuse to get off my ass and get started with using SFML, since:

1. I need a proper engine to use for bigger projects.

2. I’m tired of javascript and not knowing how to do anything with it. I want my classes and inheritance and everything else that I’m so used to having when making games!

Of course, I was too lazy to do the warmup weekend, so I’ve spent whatever hours I could yesterday and today to code a few small fragments of the engine. The rest I’m probably going to have to port in from my old XNA engine.

The base code is in this project, along with whatever random engine code I thought might be useful to port over from an old XNA game: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34994455/sfmltest.7z

So there’s my base code. As for other tools, I will probably just use the usual: GIMP for graphics(maybe Spriter if I can bother to figure it out and really need the animation?), Audacity/bxgjakls3 or whatever for sounds, Wolfram Tones for music.

Guaranteed to save the world in 10 second or less.

Just in time.

This is the state of affairs. I have a sparse bad foundation and shall build my bolted together mess of code gleefully.

I’m super exhausted already, but hyped about trying to compete again!  Most of my last few LDs have ended in me giving up because of illness or exhaustion… but I need to do this!  I’m teaching Game Design again this year, so I’m hoping this weekend’s efforts give me something nice to show my students.

Tools:

Probably GIMP, bfxr, Python, pygame, and MS Paint.  That’s my usual route, at least.  I’ll think about it more after I pass out, which hopefully won’t be until after the theme is announced.

Not sure what the plot is, or what the goal will be, but I have made a playable prototype with collision and everything!

It’s something!

Come say hi to my livestream!

Aw geez, I’ve lost track… this is my… fifth, I think. Yeah, I could think of plenty of excuses to not participate, like my school work and other obligations, but I’m still gonna do it cause LD48 is just really fun. Also I have this brand new PC that should accelerate my game making game! Now let’s see… My resources haven’t changed much over the years.

• Multimedia Fusion 2, which is a bit of a shortcut, but I’ve seen people using RPG Maker XP, so I’m pretty sure that MMF2 is fine.
• Audacity, because what else is there.
• Paint… maybe. MMF2 has a pretty good built in art interface that I’m much more comfortable with, so we’ll see.

So yeah, my list of resources is pretty lean this time around, but that just means it’s more efficient, right? Here’s to another great LD48, and long live the theme!

 

Ok, I’ll give it another go.. maybe I’ll even finish this time

 

Code: Lua with Love2D  and hump

Graphics: MyPaint/Gimp

Sound: sfxr & Audiotool (if there’s time)

Ok, so this is my third time entering, and I’ve never successfully finished one.  I have to work all day tomorrow to top it off.  Maybe this will force me to try and keep it simple.  Hey, third times the charm right!

If I do graphics: Photoshop / Illustrator / GameMaker Studio

If I do sound: sfxr / musagi / GarageBand

If I do anything it will be: GameMaker Studio

Lets hope for the best this time!  Good luck all!

LUDUM DARE!!!!!

 

We’re in for the game jam, but we’re going to try to keep it in 48 hours. We’ve been experimenting a lot lately. Usually, we compete using my home-grown C++ game engine, but last time we went with Unity. This time we’re going to be using HTML5, JavaScript, and three.js! It’s going to be a really fun roller coaster because I don’t know JavaScript! Even better, we have a new addition to the team: my little brother. He’s very new to programming and only knows C++, so he’ll also have to learn JavaScript. One final thing, I’ve always been the only programmer, so having my little brother helping with the code will be a new experience. Really looking forward to this! Also scrambling to learn JS in the last 20 minutes before the competition…

The Team:

– Me (Programmer/IT Support)
– Lucas (aka HOOPLAH/Little bro/Programmer)
– Nainoa (Roommate/All things art man)
– David (Texture guy)
– David’s roommate  (Modelling/Drawing/Animating plz?)

The entire team will be involved in voice acting.

The Tools:

– Chrome + HTML5 + JavaScript + asjldfjalsdfkjlaswebdevstuffs
– Notepad++
– Maya
– Photoshop
– Gimp
– Sound Recorder

PS – As usual, the Ludum Dare has been scheduled at the most inconvenient time possible – the weekend before our next semester starts.

GLHF TOTES EXCITED

If this continues, I might not be able to participate. I haven’t had errors like this in six years, and it happens on this night. Typical.

In any case, I will not be doing a livestream, as I think it is the program that is causing it. If not, then there is no point anyway if the stream cuts off every 15 minutes.

 

Here’s hoping that’s the last of them, I’ve been really excited for this :(.

1:46

no plans yet

except that i’ll probably use some html5 / javascript engine

Well this is my beauty and messy workstation:

Workstation

I also have a laptop somewhere else too.

P.S. I have a stream up at www.twitch.tv/daOyster

Despite the lack of time this weekend, and a computer that restart every twenty minutes, We will try to do something (with construct 2).

It’s our second LD but we’re just 2 this time (a graphic designer and a game designer) so the sounds should be … you know, pretty interesting.

Our LD26 game

Good luck at all.

PS : sorry for the webcam toy effect.

I left my “I’m in” post a little late. This is my 4th LD, I will be using java, paint.net and sfxr. I will also be streaming here:

twitch.tv/giantjelly

Good luck to you all.
