This is going much smoother for me this time around. I’ve decided on creating a monster destruction game with a twist to tie it into the shapeshift theme.

Tasks completed:

• Game design fleshed out
• Art assets for player avatar
• Game screens
  • Preload
  • Menu
  • Game
  • Credits
  • Game over
• Gameplay mechanic code in a working state
• Player positioning and movement
• Tilemap initialization

Todo:

• Music
• SFX
• NPC sprites
• Floating numbers
• New tilemap
• Screenshake
• Particle effects
• A real name

I’m using placeholder tiles until I work on the rest of the art tomorrow.

Transformation of idea goes every 15 min

Nevertheless, the basic idea is sustainable . It calms…

Back from school. Ready to spend rest of the weekend with LD. Now i should find an idea! Good luck everyone!

Try to predict who will be shapeshifter here!

I have sketches of most of the assets I need plus the look of the sprites pretty fixed and 3 sprites ready to go

Animation is gonna be pretty hard as I’ve never really done it before

Also zero coding done so far

We’re participating, a friend and i, to Ludum Dare #35 !

Software :

• Construct 2
• Audiotool
• Cubase
• Aseprite

Yes, this “guy” is rocketjumping around

What’s up guys!

It’s 6AM here in Brazil and, our game already has a gameplay and it has taken form! 😉

We don’t have a name for it, though.

Soon a small video showing the gameplay to you!

Greetings from Brazil! 😉

I’ve been coding almost 9 hours and I’ve got some result – nifty fluid match3 mechanic with resizable field 😀

I don’t know how to properly attach gif, so if you want to see it, then click on it.

This is it, I finally found my idea.

You are at the head of a factory and your goal is to sell… shapes. With of course, a little tweak.

This will be the first time I’m doing Ludum Dare by my self.

Ideas for the theme are scarce, but I think a have one that works.

I’m a bit late to start, but had to move locations, so now we’ll see what it amounts to…

Just getting something on the screen I guess.  Super lame how long some things can take.  I guess I’m out of practice.  I hate running out of time on these.  Oh well, tomorrow will be a better day.

I did a short experiment in Twine 2 last year, but this is my first time really getting stuck in and using some of the features built into the Harlowe theme. I’m very impressed and excited!

So I decided it was time to do another Ludum Dare jam, and it seemed like a great excuse to work with my old Montreal jamming team, “Not Enough Laptops”. We participated in three global game jams and a couple of other jams under that moniker. You can find some of those here and here.

It will be a challenge working over such a great distance in completely different time zones, but I’m looking forward to trying. We’ve already had our first brainstorm of sorts over Slack (split across sleepy times) and I’m about to start mocking up some art based on those ideas – wish us luck!

If you want to follow our progress we are Anshul Goyal, Aidan Green and me, Sean Noonan.

Happy jamming!

what could it mean!?

We’re off to a strong start here in Odense, where I am making a game with 15 high school students. We are making a top-down boss-arena with many shapes!

We are streaming at twitch.tv/sorenp

After having a good night of sleep and a good breakfast, solo brainstorming went smoothly. I’ve made a MoSCoW list in trello to (hopefully) prevent myself from hopelessly over scoping again. I’ve made some design sketches to remember the vision I have now. Time to start programming.

Let’s do this!

(bonus battle station pic)

Yes, it’s a floating cube ^^

Okay I’ll have one more round of brainstorming, but I have a feeling I will have to go with this unbelievably original concept.

Finally I managed to get rogue-like dungeon generation. 😀

Good luck everyone. I don’t forget to have fun.
