LD 38 April 21–24, 2017

I'm in

I'm in, I guess.

Slow start

lol nothing here

Change in play style

Just woke up a bit late, but i had some ideas while trying to sleep

Changed the play style from THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzKSnuvwkYY to THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_vMpQHLpJg&feature=youtu.be

(my internet is slow so it will take a while to upload the second video, be patient)

How I feel on day 1?

Well, as this is my first LD and many of you participated before my feelings are mixed. I should probably enjoy the process of creation more, but what can I say.. I'm not high skilled but I will put all my heart to this LD game.

What's the game about?

Well.. top-down slasher where you protect the last gate to heaven. Inspired by Slavic's mythology Tree of life. You are playing as reaper that main goal is to kill evil souls before they reach portal in Tree and you have to allow good souls reach portal. For now there are 2 types of souls if time I will create more. It doesn't directly points on "Small World" theme but the tree is placed on kinda "small levitating world" and where you actually are is somewhere between mortal world and spiritual world. I will try to upload some screen in a while. More coffee and go!

My engine hasn't crashed yet

I'm working on a custom engine that uses the Vulkan API to render. I also have an OpenGL renderer for computers that don't support Vulkan. IS anyone else insane enough to use Vulkan, or is it just me?

Late notion: we're in!

There's two of us, first time and everything (ahaha!) Good luck everyone!

An Island World

Ok, so I have some vague ideas, (but the details I make up as I program): island, settlers, strategy-ish. I normally like to try to use a non-literal usage of the theme, but this time around I just chose a small world; this might change later though.

I do have ~~some~~ one pretty picture~~s~~ though: http://i.imgur.com/KZTmmSH.png

Other than that I would like to say that this site is looking damned nice!

Final Post for today

Well I'm still not quite sure on the gameplay, but I've got the base engine and graphics done :grin:

Blocks are randomly generated with different looks (rocks, grass & trees).

Thinking about giving the player the ability to move the blocks~

5 Hours in!

First Night

I, tvle83, worked until about 6am before I went to sleep and woke up at 10am and am ready to go. We have a good game idea and are excited to continue on this game.

Work In Progress

I have a small army of little green plastic soldiers. http://imgur.com/1EiAOkp

Mixed feelings

I couldn't come up with an idea yesterday, spend a couple hours on it, but felt terrible tired so I just decided to go and sleep, I woke up like 6am it's been more than 3 hours since then and nothing yet, but thinking about an idea for the game and spending time on it actually gave me some kind of path on where I should go on this, now the only thing left is to see if I can convert this into a game. Don't get me wrong I feel excited about this! Never had this kind of creativity process before, and I want to keep posting on this so I can see all the progress I'm making :)

Finally starting...

So far too many hours of designing and then a power nap, finally got some stuff into the editor.
I've taken a very literally take on the theme with it being about a small sized planet.
All hail the space-loli (this will make sense when there are screenshots).

Hero has been born!

Small update of small world game :) Keep in mind art is done by programmer (me) :'D

Progress so far

Satellites already orbit around the small world. Yay! -> http://imgur.com/0VGdo0f

Next will work on the launching of the satellite and then will update graphic placeholders :)

Is your world too small?

Do you want a bigger world? Then crash some asteroids into it!!

10 hours in and I have created something that's playable to some extend!
