Yaaaay!

Finally managed to finish mobile version of Lumit. It is LIVE on google play store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leaghorn.lumit

Android version for now.
iOS version is also ready but there is this whole review process that I’m still figuring out.
And WP version shoud be live as soon as I learn how to publish, as I never did anything for WP (well, for iOS also).

Anyway.

I did 3 options of controls:
– accelerometer – jumping by tapping and moving by tilting
– on screen buttons – control moving and jumping using buttons
– touch pad – jump and move is dependand on where you touch the touch pad

(I personally like the accelerometer/tilt option the best)

And there are separate Leaderboards for each mode and they are separate from these on PC version, so go break the new records! 😀

I only have one phone to test it so any feedback how it works on other devices would be awesome. Any feedback would be awesome actually! 😀

So Enjoy Lumit mobile! I hope you’ll like it 😉

// of course there still is a PC version if someone missed it 😀

AhhYeah..here is the first post-compo release for the Human Experiment Show..
lot’s of updates, mainly on controls and intro.

yes yes..much better controls now, highly motivated by comments of the players,
it also features a ledge grab & climb, which will make the game a lot
easier to play, though the puzzle is still incredibly difficult..

and totally new full intro animation to set to game into context..this was a bit of a challenge as the free version of unity does not support movie or render to texture, so the whole thing is rendered with a clamped second camera on the side

and new font in the arena, thanks to my friends at underware.nl who designed this type..

thank you peoples for playing and commenting on my compo release, thanx to you these changes have been made..hope you like these improvements, let me know what you think..

play here

I just want to say, this is my first LD and you guys all rock! 

The feedback have been really great and constructive and the support of the community has been awesome from start to to finish!

My only question now is, who’s going to be lucky # 100?! Haha

Hi, everyone! Now it’s my time to show you postmortem of my compo entry “Fill the bar“. There are many details, thoughts, screenshots, useful links and other stuff. Click below to start reading.

Read the postmortem

There you can read how to:

• Learn to make low-poly art in 2 hours
• Learn to compose music in 1 hour
• Use new UI feature in Unity 4.6
• Create original interpretation of theme
• Level design entire location from scratch to finish
• Make professional voice over in few minutes
• Fit full game in 2MB

And watch it all on timelapse video.

So I had a lot of fun this LD, making something unusual (Play It).  And now I’m busy learning Unity to port it over.

In the meantime, I’ll be cleaning up a bunch of levels, design problems, etc, so if you’re interesting in helping out, a bit of feedback will help

Here is a data visualisation of the 1752 parties played by 208 players on my game over 11 different maps (these past 11 days – each day generates a new map), showing where ☃players died leaving a carrot to the map forever!

format:

– JPG (10 Mb)

– PNG (20 Mb)

You can observe that some roads was almost impossible to cross, especially the one describe in my previous post.

My Limberjacks entry needed sounds, and I thought that “winter forest needs some wind sound”. How to make such? I grabbed four almost-free tools of mine to help get the job done:

* My Samsung Galaxy S3 (cheap)
* Smart Voice Recorder app (free)
* Audacity (free)
* My mouth (free)

I start blowing very gently towards the screen (not towards the microphone, since that would just create noise). I didn’t blow directly to the microphone, and my mouth was above the screen. After recording the audio (making sure the quality of recording is highest possible) I copied the files to my computer and tweaked them in Audacity (basically, cut off the clip and might have slightly reduced the noise if necessary).

After that, the job was done: your cheap-as-hell background wind sound is finished.

Yes, it sounds crap if you compare it to… well, almost to anything BUT there’s one advantage: it’s still much better than no sound at all. Just by spending few minutes on this, I have enhanced the game experience. Now it kind of emphasis the cold winter scene. Having any small sounds can make a big difference.

Or, at least a little difference in a game JAM like ludum dare.

To check it out, here’s the Limberjacks entry.

Thank you so much for rating our game. Due to your positive feedbacks I’m thinking about publishing this game in google play store as my first game. Thank You once again.

Looks easy but hard to master.

Finally after some issues it is available for your pleasure!

As ingame leaderboards shows only 10 top scores, here’s full leaderboards if someone’s interested:

Over a 100 scores in Normal mode and so little in Hard and Impossible. Let’s breake some records people! 😉

(the two best scores [3rd is mine :)] in Normal mode are really impressive. I never managed to beat my 36K and the 2nd is 45K and 1st is almost 60K! Wow! I managed to get a score over 80K once but it was while developing so there must have been something different/easier then in that version)

Also, if anybody missed, I published Free mobile version of Lumit for Android (link in downloads):

http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=45380

So if you missed, give it a try 😉

I also uploaded iOS version today and as soon as it get accepted I’ll let you know. I’m working on a WP version now.

And as always, enjoy! 😀

As a multiplayer game, COSMMOS worth playing together more than alone. Come and play COSMMOS together NOW (I’ll be there for a full hour) !

Join the my twitch channel for a live commenting about the game. Feel free to ask any question and to use the tchat as a cooperation tool !

I recently got my hands on a oculus rift. I will not be able to experience it until Christmas Day sadly but I can’t wait to pair this with the Sdk and submit some of the first oculus rift compatible games to ludum dare 32.

Hi dear game lovers

The record in our game is currently 7100 points (Wave 17).

Can you beat this record?

Oust Santa! – The game

Post or send us your highscore – we are very interested in your results.

Have a nice weekend!

Cheers

Hey! So, yes, we have an idea to add battle.net-like multiplayer for our game.

The idea is making server that should connect two players and make a game session between them. For the first versions it will be coop only on right and bottom sides. And random buffs will accept on each players. So, that’s only plan for post ludum dare development.

Let us know about your suggestions in comments.

Team BSOD.

Over 125 people have played and rated Beat! Bop! Delicious! so far!  Thank you very much!

We have began work on a post compo version of Duck, Jump, Die!

Play The Game!

Duck, Jump, Die Will:

• Be an entirely new game designed from scratch
• Be made with mobile devices in mind, rather than just a port of a PC game
• Feature new and improved graphics
• Feature hundreds of new obstacles, collectibles, and costumes

Duck, Jump, Die Will Not:

• Just be a bug fixed version of the jam submission (We already have that!).
• Just be a port of the already bug fixed PC version
