Base sprite by me, animated by jmaster.

Design document took some doodles to the face:

The core loop is basically here, as depicted by the green checks in the image above. I think the next sprint is going to be gating the number of behbehs a butterfly can make somehow (MAYBE food?). This should allow us to remove the arbitrary expiration date on being a butterfly that is really cutting into what would otherwise be a fun loop.

Aaaand screenshot:

Not much to look at.

Here, look at this general schedule instead. It includes when I intend to make blog posts. (Two hour time blocks)

Came up with a working name “‘Pillar of Hate”. Caterpillar. GET IT?

Hey guys and gals!

Forgot to post before the compo to say I’m in so might as well do it now! 😉
It’s been some time since my last LD so let’s make this one count!

My tools are:

• Game engine : Game Maker: Studio
• 2D Graphics: Paint, Gimp
• Sound: sfxr, audacity, Wolfram Tones
• Energy: Coffee (lots of it!)

It’s been a few hours now since I started working.
So far I have done:

• A slick intro screen
• A functional menu screen

So basically, I have strictly no gameplay done… >.<

Well then, better get back to work!

Best of luck to all of you! 😉

May have slept though the first 8 hours or so, but everything is going swimmingly now!

Good progress on the various parts of the game engine. Got a sound system in which can create nicely harmonious procedural music (Pentatonic scales are great :D) The particle system has been improved and can be manipulated with the mouse. A screenshot misses out on the motion and sound so not much to show there 😛

As for what this will end up as, I’m thinking a relaxing Zen toy where you can create music causing objects in a scene to shift shape. Creating falling particles is fun so perhaps gameplay is scattering seeds?

I’ve been struggling with ideas, and I’m thinking of scrapping the one I currently have and make something simpler in the time I have left. I like the idea, but I won’t be able to reach the level I want to with it, I think I’ll have to figure out something else.

Menu’s ready 😀

I wasn’t planning to join this edition but I have an acceptable idea and I want to try something different…

Now the challenge is to model these in 3D in a very specific manner:

If I manage to create what I want the rest will be easy as pie

I’ve tossed my other ideas in the garbage, since I have really small amount of time for this LD. I never made a game in javascript, but so far it works well, the command parser is kinda good. But it took more time than I thought, so maybe I won’t finish at all. We will see.

Well, I can’t come up with a good idea. So I’m probably out of LD35, but to keep up the spirit I’m going to teach myself something new, maybe JavaScript and HTML5 or something.

Have fun jamming, everybody!

After some sketches and mock-ups it’s finally time to eat something. Very important since the coding phase is right after. I’ll let you guys with this latest screenshot. Enjoy and, «Bon Apétit!»

Well… I’ve gotten nothing important done… this is crazy…

I have no idea what I’m doing anymore…

(Not idea wise just implementation wise…)

(…in our seats)

I think I finally found an idea for what I’ll be working on right here

You can shift from a small quad to a big Quad… (yeah I know… BRILLIANT)

Now I have to do my checklist bye 😛
