LD31 December 5–8, 2014

Updated and Ready to Go

This will be my first Ludum-Dare and I’m going to hopefully hit the ground running and make something for the compo.

Tools are:

Engine: Unity3D

Code: MonoDevelop

Graphics: Photoshop and Illustrator

Music: Sfxer and Audacity

Good luck everyone.

I’m in!

I’m in for LD31! Tools TBD, but I want it to work in the browser.

Wish me luck!

I’m IN!

Just before the theme gets announced!

I’m doing it. Using mostly Game Maker: Studio and any other tool that might be useful for the occasion.

 

Wish me luck!

I’m in… har har har!

I’m in, unless snowman wins. As almost always – using Unity3D, my mouth and my killer drawing skills to make another “game” that makes your eyes bleed.

Last Minute : Im In

Code / Design: Unity

Sound Design: Audacity / Whatever works

Graphics: Graphics Gale & Photoshop

Good luck everyone

I’m in…

Have decided to go with Monkey X for this one, as I’ve been looking for an opportunity to use it for quite a while.

Also picked up Ignition X and R.U.B.E. a couple of days ago, but I’ve done nothing more than install them and look at a handful of demos, so whether I use then will very much depend on the theme and my game design.

Will definitely be using Vim, GIMP and Bfxr, and quite possibly Blender, Inkscape, Audacity and SunVOX, depending on the game and how much time, if any, I have left over for adding nice things on Sunday night.

Now all we need is a good theme. Please God don’t let it be that bloody snowman.

Good luck everyone!

The game could still be about a snowman 😉

The snowman part was not the interesting part.

Coincidental theme

I’ve just realised that somewhat coincidentally my idea for LD30 would work well with the “Entire Game on One Screen” theme for LD31. Oh well I’ll just have to come up with something new.

this theme is very difficult

hmmmmm. Well there goes all my ideas about platformers right out the window.

Theme: Entire Game on One Screen

I expect to see all the source code as well! 😛 :-)

Caveat – You are playing this game entirely on one screen called “your computer monitor”! 😉

let’s go #LD31

I really wish it was snowman but, come on, let’s do what we know and what we do best. Good luck to all.

I’m in

  • Unity 3d 4
  • C#
  • Photoshop
  • blender 3d

luck to all!!!!!!!

Here we goooooooo

Once again not suuuuuper enthused about the theme, but here we go. I’m in again, and with the same infection I had the last two attempts! Ain’t immune systems grand?

Let’s do this. All bundled up for the winter. Drinking hot choco—I mean, soda out the wazoo.

I’ll be working in Unity (free), and this time not using any starting codebase. We’re workin’ from scratch, people! The old-fashioned way! But considering I’ve been in the middle of hella coding for Sunshine, I think my gears are running pretty smoothly.

Nice! Not super crazy about the theme either, I prefer to be further constricted 😛 Can’t wait to see what you come up with :)

omg, autosmilies, awful..

Thoughts on Theme

This theme is definitely very weak because it’s far too open for interpretation. “One Screen” is an incredibly vague idea.

The thing that comes to my mind is “hey. this is a perfectly valid excuse to do a neat pacman clone just to say you’ve done that in javascript even if it’s not really unique.” I’m trying to think of ways I can innovate or do something neat with one screen, or if there are any cool game ideas that I have. My plan is thus: try cloning PacMan in JavaScript, see what you learn in that exercise, deconstruct it, and see what you can do with that knowledge. Do Space Invaders, do Pong, do basic things so that I can learn how to manipulate physical entities using code.

The most unique idea that’s occurring to me and the one I keep thinking about is an Odyssey simulator. Give the player an interface that looks like an old-timey TV and give them the various screen shades – football, tennis, etc. – and let them play all sorts of different kinds of games using that ‘one screen’ with all the screen shades. I think that might be cute??

gosh I was just being critical jeez just because i don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not a valid theme. i just don’t like it and i’m not gonna pretend to.
