Me fail ludum? That’s unpossible!

Unity, Photoshop, Blender and, of course, Flootyroops for teh ph4t b33tz!!!1

I’m hoping to get another game in this LD, unfortunatly I am working a bit during those times so it will only be small.

Unity

c#

Gimp

Once again, to help anyone who might need it, here are some handy tutorial articles I wrote up on using GameMaker, for anyone who needs to brush up on their skills or take a crash course:

1. Leveling Up as a GameMaker dev.  A guide to your progress as you learn the tool.
2. Position and Motion Tutorial.  The basics of moving objects around the room.
3. Wave Motion Tutorial. Getting that nice sine-wave sway.
4. String Handling and Drawing Text.
5. Draw Rich Text. A handy script for more powerful formatting of text  you draw to the screen.
6. Building a GameMaker extension. How to write your GML for reusability, and how to use the GameMaker Extension builder.

And, if you’d like a whole book on GameMaker development, I helped out with editing HTML5 Game Development with GameMaker, ©2013 Jason Elliott, Packt Publishing, and can recommend it as a worthwhile book that will teach you some useful things, particularly the new Box2D Physics engine features.

With
– Unity
– Pickle
– BFXR

this is my first time in ludumdare.

I am going to use Java with LWJGL and Paint.net for art

Hey all,

I suspect this has been asked before, but – if I’m doing the 48hr compo, can I ask some friends to provide voice/video acting, provided it’s me taking the recording, and I do it within the 48hr period?

I am in

Rule 4 says:  All publicly available libraries and middleware are allowed.

Does that include engines you must purchase such as Impact? If we can use Impact and the like, what about including source code? Do you just include your source and not the Impact stuff?

Anyway, thinking of doing it… Would use either Flash/AS3 or JS/Impact – may depend on the theme too.

So, I’ll be joining in this year, I considered last year but IRL invaded my coding times.

I’ll use Java with it’s own libraries, Paint.NET for the art, Reaper for the music (well, we’ll see if I get anything done since I’ve been playing the piano only for a few months now) and bfxr for the sound effects.

This will be my first time participating! I’ve been wanting to for a long time, and have been really looking forward to it! I’ll be blogging about the experience here and on my personal blog, jiyambi.blogspot.co.uk, and tweeting it up on @Jiyambi. Should be awesome!

Game Engine: Unity 2D

Language: C#

Graphics: GIMP / Pickle

Audio: Audacity / sfxr / Anvil Studio

EDIT: I’ll also be using a few of my personal scripts as base code: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11838203/Framework%20Scripts.zip

if that’s your real name. I’ll play along. (Or attempt to, at the least).

I will be using HTML5 + Phaser, GIMP and bfxr (may record or generate some music if I have time); with Flixel as a fallback plan if I need to work with something more familiar.

Hi, this will be my 3rd LD! This time I will join the Jam.
My tools are almost the same as always:

• Language:C++11
• IDE:VS11
• Library: SFML 2.1
• Library pt2: Thor
• Codebase: haha, codebase! Snippets from here and there, some from my not yet finished “official” codebase.
• Pixels: mainly Paint.NET
• Sounds and music: SFXR, http://www.abundant-music.com/,maybe my mic and audacity(this time I MUST include sound in my game!)

3 days to go and 3 days to prepare and clean-up some of my codebase.

Hello everyone,

So excited about this weekend ! I’ll be doing the Ludum Dare for the third time. First time on December though.

I’ll share a room with two friends but we plan on working separately on our own game. It worked pretty well last time.

Anyway, I’ll be using Unity and Monodevelop if I want to make something a bit complex, otherwise I’ll use my own JavaScript engine coupled with Netbeans.

For graphics I’ll mostly use Inkscape, GraphicsGale and Paint.net. Sounds will be a mix of LMMS and Bfxr.

Best of luck to you all!

Simon

I am no doubt a Java game programmer. But I am unexperienced mostly. So I think I will do the jam and make a game with Unity3D

Right then I am doing this again! This is my 4th ludum dare now.

Tools:

Language: Java

IDE: Eclipse

Library: LibGDX

Art: Paint.NET and Pickle

Sound: BFXR and maybe some other tools

Well thats it! Have fun everyone

Let’s keep it short:

I doubt I’m joining this time, being the second time in a row missing LD for me since I first participated.

Reason: I need to focus on Novum Mundum, that little game with it’s release date being 21st December. And I guess I must delay it again, but really, missing Christmas for releasing a game really is bad.

Also, on 21st December, one year ago I began with Shadow Engine. My goal was to create a powerful codebase for further developement, which runs 60 FPS on my low end phone and low end PC. It’s available on GitHub and pull requests are appreciated: https://github.com/AngelDE98/shadow-engine

ALSO, as my PC is killing me with it’s slowness recently and me needing to clean it up, developing a game will kill my nerves.

Also, school.

There’s still a slight chance I’m going to participate with a toolset similar to the toolset of my plans participating last time.

If I’m really going to miss that one, expect me next time and good luck you all!

Hey everyone.

I’ll be participating in Ludum Dare 28. This time, I hope to actually expand from squares and rectangles, and hopefully make a FUN good looking game. We’ll see how that goes.

Language: Java
IDE: Eclipse
Graphics: Paint.NET
Sound: BFXR

Good luck to all of you

I’m in the compo for the second time! I’ll be using:

• Unity 4.3 for development
• Audacity, bfxr, and/or sunvox for music and sound effects [EDIT: may look into using the newly updated Chirp]
• Inkscape and/or asesprite for PHOTOREALISTIC HD GRAFIX

it should be a much smoother process this time, since I’ve got one LD under my belt already.

Hi, this is my first Ludum Dare, and I’m very excited about that 😀 I’ve already watched many Livestreams since the LD14, and it seems to be very funny!

The Tools I will use for the game are

Eclipse for programming

Photoshop CS6 for graphics and

CFXR (The Mac version of SFXR) for the sounds.

So, that’s it ;D

Good luck at all of you!

So while messing around with the new tools and digging around in the forums at the Unity website I found something I know I’ll be able to use in this coming Dare and if not perhaps in another project. It’s a 2D character controller akin to the 3D one found in the standard assets. I’m sure if any of you have spent the time to scrape the surface of the Unity forums on the 2D topic have found this already, but I figure it can’t hurt to post it here!

And if you guys are curious I found it in this thread:

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/212107-2D-Resources

So a big thanks to Prime31 studios for sharing this great tool with the unity community. I figure it would only be a disservice to not share it here.

Here’s their website:
