Well, at least the first stadium of the game! 😀

At the beginning of the month, I expected that I’d have my game finished, and that everyone started buying it and I would make Minecraft-money(Okay not that last thing)… But it turned out to be different. I had too little time to work on it.
But instead, my game finished it’s first development stadium! And you can play it, thought it isn’t done. I’d love to get some feedback! Have fun playing it!

October ended and I’m glad to tell you that it went well

I made this little game as a side project, so wasn’t expecting much. Seeing that people are liking it is really cool.

Nevado is a simple auto-runner with 4 different worlds, 18 levels each, where you play as a dog; well, a particularly cute dog. His powers are a stunning bark and a collectable bone that give him the ability to fly. It is pretty crazy. If you haven’t try it yet, give yourself the chance and let me know what you think. The game is for PC, Mac and Linux and you have the options to purchase another version that include the source code, so Construct2 users may find it helpfull.

For 0.99 I think is a fair deal

The open beta of Hello, Alien! is now available through itch.io! You might remember this game from LD30, if you have been one of the ~50 people who rated the game back then. We didn’t finish improving it within October, that’s why it will be in open beta for the rest of November. This still counts as a successful october challenge, or does it?

You can pay what you want, which also includes paying nothing (if you really want that?), so you have no excuse for not trying it out! Well, except if you are being abducted by aliens or attacked by bears. But we are thankful if you take the time to check it out nonetheless. We know bear attacks are really serious, so we’ll understand if you got no time.

Well after a long night of rushing to finish.  I missed the October 31 deadline.  Just bad planning on my part didn’t think some menu work would take a full day.  Now that it’s over im am super happy to announce my first game that I released.  This challenge has changed me.  I learned how to make art assets I thought I could never make.  It also helped me learn more about coding.  Although now its time to sleep and rest after a long month.  Hope that you guys like my game.  It was fun to make, and its available at http://www.desura.com/games/king-of-the-dungeon.  Now It is time to go play other peoples games.

I’m prepared, I’m ready.

I looking forward the next Ludumdare compo/jam!
This year I will go for JAM, with a brand new (xna based) game engine which is in still development.
Oh and this year I broadcast everything on twitch.

So  brace yourselves, HERE I COME!!

(and good luck for everyone!)

October ended, but luckily we managed to publish the game in time! We are really happy!! 😀

We worked on the game we developed for the past 30 Ludum Dare entry http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-30/?action=preview&uid=38790

People encouraged us so much that we decided to give it a try and try to finish the game for selling as the october challenge suggested

Game intro

A bit of gameplay :)

As it was too much work for only a month, we decided that the best option we had was to finish a pair of stages and then upload the game. We also told the possible buyers that the game is in expansion (we plan to develop three more stages), and that while it’s unfinished they can buy the game on sale (i.e. 1$ instead of its final price, that will be 5$).

Desktop version (Windows/Linux/Mac) in itch.io

Android version on Google Playstore

I’m very happy to say that there are already several buyers (I didn’t expect people to buy the game before we did a bit of promo at least ^^), and if everything’s going ok we’ll try to allocate the game in some more stores, like OUYA store and Steam

Thank you for the jump-start, Ludum Dare friends! And good luck for all of you too! ^o^

Download the Mighty Retro Zero public alpha from @itchio here:

http://kronbits.itch.io/mighty-retro-zero

Mighty Retro Zero is a minimalistic game where you control a tiny player like megaman with full references to old great games using only 8 colors, pixels like punchs and addictive gameplay.

At the moment there are 3 game modes planned: History, Retro levels and Time Attack/Puzzle. Other modes can be added later but at least the game will have the previous ones.

The game is still in development and not have any release date yet.

The game is made using Multimedia Fusion 2.

Cool Features

• Great and addictive levels based on the old greatest hits.
• Funny encounters with your best characters of all the time.
• Portals and Jetpacks! :O
• Launch arrows that stuck on walls to walk/jump over them!.
• Carry/Push/Hit and launch blocks that can destroy enemies.
• All the bugs i’m sure you will find in the game.

Yes, livestreams… as in 4 livestreams. I decided that for my first Ludum Dare, I would stagger my time for development/streaming. Here are the times that I will be streaming for the compo:

— December 5th, 8PM – 12AM CST

— December 6th, 11AM – 3PM CST

— December 6th, 6PM – 10PM CST

— December 7th, 6PM – 8PM CST

I see people doing those posts already. And it was just August like a week ago. Huh. Time’s a weird thing. Anyways, here is a list of utensils:

Windows 7

Code:Blocks

SDL OpenGL

GIMP

http://www.bfxr.net/

This is my second go at LD and I hope I’ll be able to stream it better this time. Now for the theme. I hope for somthing with a quirk 😀

Okay, so I guess I have to do this as to establish witness to the fact I will be competing. So here’s what I got:

Programming Language: Java (as always), or maybe JavaScript (try something new)

IDE: IntelliJ or Eclipse (not sure which though), if JavaScript, then PhpStorm or Sublime Text 2

Libraries: Yamanu Game Engine 2 (Release will be soon!), if JavaScript Yamanu-Canvas (My JS framework)

Audio: Audacity, FL Studio (maybe), sfxr

Graphics: GIMP (for the win)

This is all I can think of right now. Yamanu Game Engine 2 will be out very soon. Just a few things to finish up. I’ll probably do a video on that soon, when it’s good for Ludum Dare. Hope everyone has a good time this time around! Best of luck!

Honestly i dont know what tools im going to be using. Im learning a bit of python and i did mini ludum dare 51 in unity. So give me some feed back please and have a good day.

I’ll join based on the amount of homework I have.

So, I have a 10% chance of participating…

I think I’m in, but i might not have enough time because of homework and other stuff.

If i join I’ll probably use one of these for the code/engine:

• C++ w/ SFML
• Unity
• HTML5
• Java
• Python

, but it won’t probably be Java or Python since i haven’t worked with them in the last 5 months.

For the graphics I’m using Gimp or Paint.NET

I’m going for the JAM with a friend.

I’ll be participating in the LD31 if something does not occur to force me not to participate.
