…. depending on a good theme inspiring me.

Tools

Paint.net
Sfxr

Frameworks
Xna
Or
Silverlight

If I go silverlight I may borrow code from the following tutorial as have never played with it before.

I just stumbled across some lovely math-related Z80 snippets while looking around the SMSPower! wiki. So I *might* just use these things. After all, most of you guys have multiplication at your fingertips already.

I think I’ll be joining. I have nice ideas for a couple of the themes, and now that I have the Flash exporter it should be easier to make a fun experience. I think this time I’ll try to go the path of quality over content, seeing that a couple of my earlier games were high on content (Paradise Fort, Excavatorrr, Apocalypse Adventure) but lacked in gameplay or polish.

As annoying as it is to admit, using tools like MMF is really unfair for those who really code everything from scratch. I considered participating only to the jam because of this, but in the end decided that I’ll just apologize here and hope the competition is relatively fair. So yeah, my apologies for being a wuss.

This’ll be my first time participating in the Dare, but I’m in. I probably only have 24 of the 48 hours free this weekend, though…  We’ll see if I can crank anything worthwhile out that fast. Languages/libraries/tools:

• AS3+Flashpunk+FlashDevelop
• Paint.net, and GraphicsGale if I have time to do animations that aren’t procedurally generated
• sfxr+as3sfxr
• Ogmo Editor

Good luck, everyone.

This’ll be my second LD now and I’m up to the challenge again, i’m getting so excited.

I’ll be using Audiacity, Photoshop, and Game Maker once again.

During LD18’s game jam, I formed Surprised Man, with Kieran Walsh, our vehicle for making games. We’re working on another one right now, but we enjoyed our last efforts so much that we decided to take a break from that to give it another go.

I must admit to being a little disappointed that more doesn’t seem to have been done to give recognition to the Jam games; a lot of people felt that it could benefit from some sort of rating system even if there is no formal winner or awards like in the competition part. It seemed to me that this could only help things by giving people another reason to play peoples’ hard work.

That aside, very much looking forward to it. Last time we blogged the whole thing on Nukezilla.com and that’s the plan this time, too, so keep an eye out for that and I’ll provide a link when it goes up. And finally, our probable set-up is as follows:

Programming ‘n’ stuff: Delphi

Graphics: ProMotion 6, Paint Shop Pro 4

Sounds: SFXR, Audacity

Music: Cockos Reaper (and various plugins), FamiTracker

Hello everybody !

This is my really first LD participation I plan to use the following tools & libraries :

– Flash / haxe (crossplatform Flash/JS/PHP compiler, http://www.haxe.org),
– FlashDevelop as my IDE
– sfxr for the ear stuff,
– musagi (DrPepper, you rule. Really.)

Here are my personnal libraries :

This weekend is going to be really cool Have fun everybody !

Hello! I’ll be trying to participate in this Ludum Dare compo, I haven’t done any 48h gamedev stuff before, but I’ve done couple of 2h ones though 😉

The weapon of choice for me is going to be BlitzMax, Graphics Gale and Milkytracker & Audacity.

Just a quick post to say I’ll be in this LD. It’ll be my 4th. I’m using the exact same basecode as last time.

Just packing my bags so I can head off to Cambridge for the gathering there. Really looking forward to it, should feel far less isolated than previous LD’s (although I think I might miss my dual screens a bit).

Anyway, best of luck everyone!

Here’s the setup that I’ll be using this weekend for building my entry.

And here’s the specifics of what I’ll be using:

IDE: Visual Studio 2010

Language: C#

Libraries: SFML2 (C# Version) : My Base Code

Audio: SFXR

If I need to create pictures, I’ll use Photoshop (Vector Art FTW :D).

I’ll also do a chronolapse of the whole thing as well (I’ll record at 4 frames a minute, but I might use less in the video or something :P)

As for type of game, I’m thinking maybe a simple RTS or perhaps a platformer.

First time in a LD , don’t have many ambition trough .

Depending on what’s the theme is, i plan on using Game Maker , Audacity and  Photoshop .

Maybe also a Visual Novel using Renpy , again it’s depend of what the theme is .

Aaaah! Jammn with Looooove!

Hey y’all, I’m gonna try and actually get a game in this time (I spent all of LD 17 coding up but never submitted).

As per last time:

Löve2d, the GIMP, Inkscape, Audacity.

I have a skeleton code I start from, wanna see it? Here it comes…


function love.load()
g={w=love.physics.newWorld(-1000,-1000,1000,1000)}
end


function love.draw()
end

function love.keypressed(k)
if k=='escape' then love.event.push('q')
elseif k=='f' then love.graphics.toggleFullscreen()
end
end

function love.update(dt)
g.w:update(dt)
end
()

I’m also hanging out with an LD Jammer and I got a bit excited about ensconcing myself at home all weekend so if I blog, it’s likely going to be about awesome food I cook… Going for an “off-topic” award maybe?

But for now, some sleep in preparation…

Hi.
Well I’m still not sure if I can make it =(

I had a last minute invitation to present something at a conference regarding phone game development which is a great deal so I obviously can’t refuse it. It’s tomorrow during the whole day.
On good news is that by then the theme should be out and since I bought myself yesterday a new Laptop so I have something to work outside and I’m going to try and do some coding while there 😛

As soon as I get the change I’ll install my tools of choice:

-Visual Studio 2010
-Programmer’s Notepad
-Photoshop

I’ll probably be using my own engine I’ve build for iPhone converted to Windows, so it’s going to be coded in OpenGL. I still need to finish some stuff to handle windows creation, mouse, keyboard etc on Windows. Should take a couple hours so I better before.

Also I hope the theme is something I can easily come up with an idea =)

Here’s my home work area, and if any one cares, my twitter handle is @DJ_Link

Good luck to everyone.

New apartment, new office-space constructed. You thought it wasn’t ready yet, huh? You thought I wouldn’t have time to hang up the whiteboard in between lab reports?

This weekend, witness the Ludum-power of this fully armed and operational battle-office!!

I’m a bored first year software engineer who took game design classes and I want to make a game!

Weapons of choice:

– C: Yes, just plain old C. No C# no C++ just C. It will rock your world.

– SDL: Simple DirectMedia Layer. OLD SCHOOL multimedia library for C. It’s like a crummier version of DirectX. I don’t know why I’m using it.

– GIMP & Paint: For pictures. What else?

– Audacity: For recording music (using my keyboard or guitar or beautiful, handsome voice)

– My bathrobe: THE BEST INDOOR CLOTHING KNOWN TO MAN

Ok, it’s 6:30 am and I just pulled an all-nighter working on prime numbers. So far I’m able to find all prime numbers under 1 billion in around 50 seconds. That’s pretty good. See you all in 12 hours, it’s NAP TIME for me.

PS: ENGINEERS ROCK

Thanks to Ludum dare community, I’ve discovered incredible as3sfxr !! 😀 I will use it for my music/sounds if i have time 😀

This guy right here will be using:

code: AS3/flashdevelop/flixel

art: gimp, etc nothing crazy

music/sound: sfxr/musagi/audacity

tilemaps: flan (editor for flixel)

This will be my second LD, I enjoyed the last one a lot. Here’s my desk, same set up as last time, just a lousier photo and more junk.
