I finished up the basic of my game! Don't mind the art... I am not an artist xd At this point I am just goind with a finished game and not with a good game. It is my first ludum dare so i got a little bit caught up in stupid little things!

in an attempt to have to implement as few instruction codes as possible for my tile logic, I've been trying to come up with compound solutions for things like condition blocks with what I already have, Its been somewhat challenging.

It's been a great Jam, but I've had to call it a day sadly! a case of ambition far outweighing my knowledge. It was a constant struggle to keep the game functioning until I just couldn't work out how to continue.

The original concept was an ant nest simulator, build the nest, protect and keep the queen alive... That became an ant arena game (scaling back the amount of work needed) but soon found that even that was going to be too much work for one weekend to keep ahead of the bugs. Either way, it's been a great experience and I got some good code written, from A* Pathfinding to Multithreading job queues.... First time I've had to drop out of a LD so far.... next time I'm gunna be ready! Role on LD39! and good luck to all those still in the compo! :D

There are so many improvements I could make that I won't because I HATE the code I've written and I don't want to work with it any longer than I have to. Over the next four months I'm going to try and learn basic game structure when using a framework rather than an engine so that my next LD won't have such a gross codebase.

Hope you're enjoying this as much as i am!

I finished moving sprites to unity and setting up the map. Now I need to add actual puzzles and story. Also the game still lacks animations and sounds.

I think my game "Planet Q" is finished. I haven't been posting any updates on here so I guess this is the first and last one until submission. Here's what my game looks like: and here's one of the puzzles (yes, this is a puzzle game) You'll get to see the rest once I upload it, which I am waiting to do because I don't think it's to my benefit to have the game uploaded just on my Itch.io page and have people playing it without rating it. But stay tuned for the finished thing!

Since the last blog post we've added all the textures into the game! Also meteorite spawning is fixed now so it is fully random.

Right now, we want to add sound effects and music and give the earth a health bar, so we can add some difficulty to the game. And we're also going to add a menu screen, ofcourse.

Thanks for reading!

Not much of gameplay, but I hope this will be first (tutorial-ish) level.

Been working on the art of the game for some times now. What I got is my hero, ready to be animated.

The issue is... I don't have times to do everything for the compo. Will try, but I may end up doing the jam instead.

NB : The eyebrow have its own bone.

Trip back to earth.

With the mpv done, lets work on the final props and features

Finally it has been done! The world is getting smaller and smaller and the void is closing you in. That does not affect your daily workday to obtain both wood and food.

Collect 38 wood (clever reference, i know) and get back to your home to win. However, you are getting hungry pretty fast, so dont forget to make farms! Also, the thing about the void closing you in, thats for real. Obtain that wood as fast as possible!

Yipee, just released my first gamejam game on itch.io. Give it a try if you have a few minutes (honestly, one session won't last long).

Woah, finally, my 3rd game jam game is out: for the first time ever, i create a game without using a single asset that i did not make, feeling nice <3

Hello everyone, another day, more coffee, more work at the Studim. :ant:

Our ants are walking now

And have a beautiful map to ... walk \o/

A beautiful Anthill to build

And balanced task division

The player has to destroy the enemys. But when enemys die, they destroy the map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_eAGVFZTvg

Now only the bullets are remaining. I will polish the graphics, sound and UI later. Gotta speed up.

I'm In

I realised that it will be impossible to complete my game in the next 9 hours, and I will go for the jam instead.
