WATCH IT HERE BLEEP BLAAP

Tags: timelapse

Well, my entry “Introspect” is done.  Kinda.  Mostly.  I did hit most of my goals this time, but due to a family holiday get-together, I wasn’t able to entirely complete the game.  But unlike my last two Ludum Dare entries, it is playable all the way to the end.

You can explore the level and collect all three abilities for your alien character.  There are some unusual dead-ends in the levels which would have contained pieces of the character’s story and purpose.

Click on the image to view my submission.  If that doesn’t work for some reason, here’s a direct link to the playable game.

Updated with 3 minutes to spare! I added a title tune and a Memory Orb pickup tune.

Note: The game requires that version 4 of the .NET Framework is installed on your computer. You can download it from here:

Overall, it was a very fun experience building a game in 48 hours 😀

I’ll write a post-mortem in the next day or so, and I’ll also upload my chronolapse video either later on today or tomorrow (Waiting for 12:30 (AEST) to come around, before I start to edit it). I’ll also attempt to port the code over to Linux as well (That might be a challenge!)

EDIT: Fixed a few small problems. All should be good now! 😀

My game is done being made!

Yayzles!

Yep… and here’s the linky!

Well, guess its time to admit defeat, the collision is more or less where I want it, but theres no gameplay at all(other then being able to run and jump).

At least I know next time not to try to learn new libraries during a time limited schedule, deciding to use Phys2D was a big mistake, and sticking to my guns about using it rather then chucking it away after realizing how much time I was wasting just to get it running was an even bigger mistake, but at least I know quite a bit about the Phys2D library now, and know more about Slick2D, so I can’t say this has all been a wasted effort.

Either way, I will see if I can still get it done for the jam, but I wont be submitting it now as the player sprite wasn’t created by me, was just a sprite test to see how things were looking with Slick2Ds SpriteSheet and Animation classes(which I discovered even existed more then half way through the first day).

I’ve finished my game, and thought of a brilliant name for it!

The Amazing Discovery of a Blob Named Harold!!

I guarantee that this is the best art/humor game that you’ll ever play. Reach the end for a special unlock-able prize. Happy gaming! Please give me your feedback!

Just submitted my first ever ld48 comp entry.  Take a look and have some fun with it. Space rts fans might find it to be a kick.

You can grab it Here (~2Mb)

Let me know what you think, and be sure to vote later if you enjoy it.

Finally I have completed the map generator and added a challenge so the game wont be to bored, try it here.
And here is my entry and some awesome screenshot from the game:

So I’m glad I participated in my second ld48, it was fun and good for some skills improving, hope to see you in next ld48.
Good luck to all the people that still working on their game.

My first game, my first Ludum Dare and I completed a game on time.  I did not get one thing working that drove me bonkers, but I will work on that at another!  Now it is time to get some food and sleep!
Hello, here is the first game I have ever made, for your enjoyment!  It is called Pickup.
The object is to discover how to pickup a woman.  Please make sure you have your sense of
humor turned on, and the following installed!

Gameplay: Hit any key to get past the splashscreen, after that it is all mouse pointing and clicking.

Whew, it’s done.

Right up to the wire too. I didn’t get a chance to implement a system where you can lose, but right now there’s four playable levels, scoring, an end game, etc. So, I am pretty happy with having done this in two days. No base code at all – from scratch except I used TweenLite in a couple of spots.

Now I need some food, some sleep, and some wine.

I know, its impossible… but it happened!

Just managed to get the sounds working in time, etc etc.

It's a screenshot

So yeah. Big thanks to the people at the IRC channel 😀

LINKY!

And I honestly didn’t believe that until the last two hours.

Grandpa has died and you have to step into his footprints.

You can find out, what grandpa’s heritage is here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-19/?uid=3036
All you need is a HTML5 compatible browser.

And an idea what this game wants you to experience. Ok, big words for this thing.

There are certain stories of what your grandpa actually was. The more you here from a story the more you learn. if you reach a certain point in that story, you’ll know what you must become.

Ok, I guess I didn’t get that straight to the player. And I’m still not really sure how to tell this 😉

Anyhow, it’s done. It works. I’m proud! If you want to see this:

• Stream of the whole weekend: http://www.justin.tv/bgokarl
• Timelapse: will come next week
• Postmortem: not now, but later.

So, I submitted the game. Before the deadline. Thats a win, right? 😉

I tried to make it really simple. But there were a few things to consider for next time:

• If you are Ill, like I was, your energy levels are too low to get into a flow-like state
• I need to check for a good method to make music in a fast way. I like tonematrix, but couldn’t record that music…
• I want to have a good option-screen where users can choose the resolution for example. My game is flexible, but the window isnt…
• My webcam and Chronolapse are causing my notebook cpu to run at 30% constantly (1 image per minute). Need to find out why…

But at first, I will go to bed now

See you next time!

Wow, I really didn’t expect to participate this time, but I thought of a simple concept and put it together in time!

Well, I worked  in this game less of 8 hours because I was a little busy this weekend but I am glad of be here in a LD.

This was my first LD, and I really enjoy it. Next time I hope have more time to make a biggest game, and publish more post with pictures and more post.

I really like the concept behind my game, but I dont like so much the game “in situ”.

I hope you can play it and enjoy it, and remember this game is about you 😛

All feedback is wellcome.

Ah, and here is the timelapse:

Greetings.

And its done. Had to remove a few things near the end that were just not good enough and ruining the game as it is. That included my fancy overlay and effects.

“The power has died and you’ve been sent out into the desolate snow fields. Dig through the snow to uncover the abandoned power plants. Bring them online for long enough to win.

Be careful, You’re not alone in the snow fields.”

——-

– Mouse controls. Click anywhere on the title to start.

– Power plants have a multiplier effect, try to keep them all on at the same time.

– Space bar can help clear snow, but only 3 times.
