For Ludum Dare 35, I made a game that doesn’t even follow the theme, because I was wildly obsessed with the companion theme. So I created The Core. There is a rather long description on that page, so I won’t talk too much here. I just finished going through the first round of bug fixes and balance changes, so I feel it is okay enough to put on the front page. If you have any suggestions for number changes, or find a certain bug, leave me a comment so I can put the game through the ringer again when I wake up. Thank you for your time.

Phew! We made it in time for Ludum Dare AND LowRezJam. YEAH!

It was two seriously awesome days with a seriously awesome team. We are so proud of the result, and a Post Mortem will be written as soon as we’ve got some rare, tasty free time in this exam-filled week at college.

You can check Wolfbit here. It would be really nice to hear some feedback from you guys.

By the way, I’m so anxious to see the other games… but I’m also really tired. Tomorrow I’ll be checking some (a lot!) of those gems.

Congratz  for your games guys, and good luck for everyone who are still in the fight.

Had a meeting today that ran much longer than I anticipated o.O

Can’t do everything I’d hoped to in this game, but I press on! (Just a little faster now…)

Here goes a Night Club location from our game

Pigs have rights too.

My Ludum Dare 35 entry is about pigs going on strike because they’re sick of being processed into bacons.

I had a few ideas to start, one of which I knew was impossible but I had the door open anyway.  I wanted to try multiplayer with the new lobby stuff Unity provides, but that didn’t happen (yet?)

But with that PvP idea I decided to make a hero-based real time strategy game crossed with sports!  I love the abilities from WarCraft 3 and I wanted to have the three heroes mirror the ones from NES hockey, fat, thin, medium.  Each with abilities on Q W E.  Also taking a page out of DotA I went with explosive towers to kill instead of a net to score in.

I took the RTS idea and decided to make a fully 3D interface, including cursors and arrows modeled in 3D.   I dont think it worked out that great, but it was fun to try.  In general my clicking and camera and dragging was okay, but i expect some people to have some challenges because it isn’t exactly the same as the other games people play.

It was a pretty successful project even though I fought a bit with plugins from Unity and from external (Vectrosity).  The deferred shading anti alias camera effects was fun to play with, but often failed and I had to spend a lot of time tuning a pile of settings.   I wish I could have applied a more interesting skybox and tonemap color treatment, but I should learn more about it up front instead of learning about it in the LD.

I also got a bit better at blender, especially modelling.   The UV wrapping was a bit puzzling, it seems easy but it didn’t come out right so I should watch a video.

Lastly, deferred and forward rendering sometimes broke? So I made two builds and got them both working eventually.  I am glad they have improved the WebGL support

Well, two 6 Hour Streams later (with an initial 2 Hour one plagued with allergy attacks…), I have a game!

I am so very tired… but I do need to zip a build and submit it for the Jam!  I at least was able to get my title and help screens in the game.

The basic objective is to escape the maze before your hunger runs out.  You can collect steaks to replenish hunger.  However, you are normally ‘dashing’ around the maze, and the maze only generates as you move, so you can dash over an area that later may not be accessible in the same way.

Thus, the shape-shifting labyrinth around you is your enemy especially as you move yourself around it.  Now, to post it!

Shield and weapon charge are one! It’s neat! Play here!

Where are we suppose to vote?? What does this mean?!

I did it!

Uploaded last night (UK TIME) found a few bugs that were small enough to fix and here it is – http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-35/?action=preview&uid=21374

Shift the different cargo shapes into position to fully load each cargo ship before it heads off into space!

Really enjoyed this one. Was jamming at a friends house and all of us went solo. Three games made under one roof in 48 hours! It was great seeing each other’s work come along and so proud we all finished.

If you are interested, the other two games were my by @Wissuk and @ShawtyJon and are here

Enjoy and thanks for all the support!

Very little progress was made.  There’s a fourth puzzle now, and some new music made in Caustic 3, however there’s still a 5th test chamber/puzzle to build, and music is needed for the third and fifth chambers.  There’s also no name for the game yet, and not MUCH in the way of shapeshifting.

Now, for the part where sleep is obtained, so that tomorrow, maybe the new songs for the soundtrack WON’T sound like they’re made of pieces of other game soundtracks, mashed together and assimilated by the Borg.

Goodnight, jammers in the EST timezone!

I ended up spending a bit of scope and could not deliver everything I wanted. xD
I really enjoyed the mechanics of the game, and i think to continue it.

If you have any suggestion or idea , tell me in the comments 😀

PLAY HERE!

I saw the legend explaining D, R & C but what’s the number outside the parentheses?

And what does D indicate? Should it be high/low/other?

at least we can gather all shapes in group

And around 16 hours to upload finished versions. I had to take a little break from coding and switch to work wise related activities – how in 7 hours leaving office and coming back to compo

I was pretty surprised seeing how fast I did Java coding – without almost any experience in Java itself, but thank’s for Eclipse and LibGDX it was easier than expected.

Finally finished that huge project and did it all by myself. Proud of my first game jam !

I know it’s heavier than other game, but i’m sure you’ll enjoy it, give it a chance ^^.

Now i’m getting to bed because i”””””mmmmmmmmmmmm….. zzzzZZZZzzzZZZZZZzzz.

Play and rate the game.

We did it ! Greg and me just made our first Ludum Dare !

Now we are working on the details to make the game better.

Stay tunned!

Hi everyone,
I usually design weird-looking games with strange mechanics. Some people hate them, some really dig them, it has always been a bit hit or miss with my non-commercial stuff.
This time I think I’ve nailed it. The game is weird, but it seems to be fun for the vast majority of people I’ve tested with.
Go check it out if you want, I’d apreciate some feedback

Thanks, and good luck to all the jammers still finishing up their games 😉

[edit: Endless Runner is not an endless runner]

My compo entry is the weirdest game I’ve ever made.

You can play it right here.

Hey there, I wasn’t too sure if I would be able to complete my game but I did! OFFLOAD is a pong game unlike anything you’ve ever seen. I spend hours making a program which would generate beautiful colours, an example: 

Pretty sure I’m the only one who made a pong game. It feels great to have completed a game within 72 hours. I would really appreciate feedback, to play it click here
