We Finished! And boy do we love Hiding Bodies!

So we finally finished it, at last we can relax. Body Hiding Simulator 1995 is available to play! Dead Bodies 3.gif

If you love shoving weird Ragdolls into tight spaces, this is the game for you!

Download and give it a try Here, we would love your feedback!

This was our first attempt at making a game in Unity, so the quality is a bit low, but we learned a lot along the way. Would definitely use Unity for a game jam again!

Spacetime Landlord Tycoon - The Dudettes

unknown (3).png

More graphics! Yay! There are many more variations for our dudettes! Things are coming along nicely, and with seven hours to go this project does not feel impossible. With the arrival of these new additions to our house, I have some more character descriptions to write, along with some more events.

The programmers has gone over to the testing phase, and are working hard to see that there are no gamebreaking bugs happening, and also that the game feels balanced and most importantly - fun to play!

We fight on!

HOOMANZ GEVUP!

whoo-hoo, finish linegiveup.png

Rate Games

Everyone to rate each others games and congratulations on all the hardwork. This was my first game jam and having a set deadline really pushed me to make something I am proud of. Maybe I'll leave a post mortem report later about the trouble and tribulations. The funny thing was the hardest part was getting the game to upload correctly how I wanted.

Don’t know if I’ll make it

As of now I have only one mini game that is decently fun at best but it’s just a sorting game with 2 types of objects. The core gameplay of stocking cans is there but boring and overall my game is just boring. Not sure if im going to be able to make it and if I do I don’t know what I’ll bring to the table, wish me luck in these last 6 hours.

Overstocked- Running out of space!

Everyone else is posting their games in the feed, so I thought I might as well.

Cover.png

Overstocked is a game about stacking books on shelves and shoving customers out the way. Any books left on the floor will slowly loose their value and books not on shelves will not be counted towards your final score!

Hope you enjoy it!

11th hour music

The most amazing music I have ever made in my life. Thank you end-of-the-jam-stress for this creative energy. And thank you to pxtone, the only music making software I ever really understood (everything else is too complicated) Capture.PNG

Edit: Jk it was trash the game will have no sound.

Guardian of The Tengri Mountain

Feeewww! It was a quite jam! :) I finished my fantasy based puzzle game. The Tengri Mountain (Tian Shan) is a mystical place and plays a crucial role in Turkish mythology. I hope you like the artwork :) I aimed for Compo but couldn't make it, so uploaded for Jam. :) Unfortunately there is no sound!

My Ludum Dare Entry

Hi Everyone, Yesterday I have finished my first Ludum Dare and it was such a good experience.

Here is my submission: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/flood-of-pirates I highly suggest you to open instructions before hitting play button!

Dogs on the Bed Is Done!

What a fantastic experience, my first game ever! This was an absolute blast. At first i thought the theme was going to be impossible to create something, but after a while the ideas came flowing in. I teamed up with a programming friend i used to work with and we got stuck into it only a few hours after the event started.

We used discord and facebook to communicate with each other since we worked from our own places. The art came together pretty fast, however i did underestimate how long it would take to pose the dogs (dogs are weird btw).

I was pretty happy with the way it all came out. There are a few visuals and design flaws we ran out of time to fix. The dogs turn blue when they are cold, but we tested this on white dogs, but once they were textured it became a bit confusing and we had to come up with a quick fix. The scene is a bit flatter than originally planned, one of the problems with working from 2 different locations. There is also occasionally a problem with dogs spawning behind stacks of dogs, its not a huge bug, but it can catch you out which is frustrating. Overall it came out just how i pictured it in my head which makes this all the better. I'm already look forwards to the next one.

I hope everyone else has enjoyed their time.

Hit but not a hit?

Attempting to fix the last bug... well maybe its the last you never know!

Somehow this counts as a hit between the player and black hole.... who knows why, maybe they ran out of space between them? I don't see it.

What's the hardest part? DOORS.

I had no idea making automatic, proximity sensoring, opening doors with key checking (blue key opens blue door) will take this much time... It is beinning to look like an old-school FPS. So little time left and a lot on my Trello list!

Arrr game is finished!

Arrr Island!

In Arrr Island, two players will receive shipments from their pirate party/faction and they need to use it to start settling in the island before the other team occupy most of it. The game ends when there is no square left and the users cannot build more, the team that has more territory claimed is the winner.

Screen01.jpg

The objective is to occupy the space of the other player, steal some of their buildings, win Victory Points by building a better settlement

Screen02.jpg

By building higher buildings, you score Victory Points, even a match can end in a tie if no faction has made some of these buildings.

Screen03.jpg

Some tips

Pirates are bastards:

If you place a Tavern al surrounding enemy pirates will become yours. Arrr!

Removing a Building:

You can remove a building applying a shovel on a conquerable (own) building. It will get removed and you can put something else there.

Conquering struggle:

Outposts Conquer buildings upon placement, if an enemy outpost is placed within range, it will re-conquer conquerable buildings back. Outposts have not restriction of movement for the enemy admiral, but Forts do, and conquered buildings are secured in the Fort influence limit.

The game is available at https://sebasoft.itch.io/arrrisland

Our game needs a name!

Our game needs a name and we are taking suggestions from the Ludum Dare community (too busy fixing bugs to think about names). User with the best name suggestion will get to name a planet to the game! :rocket:

In the game, you expand population to other planets to tackle issue with overpopulation.. so it's some kind of galaxy-wide population management game. (If a planet is overpopulated for too long, it's condition will get worse and eventually become uninhabitable.

Gutted Goblin Trading Company

Gutted Goblin Trading Co is a Fantasy themed, warehouse management game.

In it, you play as a lone forklift driver, attempting to get as many deliveries out the door before the timer runs out. But watch out! Inventory stacks up in the warehouse faster than you can manage.

We'd love for you to give it a try! If you're into 2D Fantasy warehouse management simulators that take place in a world where physics tries it's best to make sense, then this is a game for you! (HTML5 friendly)

We look forward to trying other everyone else's games!

You were persuaded to go to a party, despite not really feeling up to it. Find the friends you came to meet. Have fun exploring the party, while you try to keep your stress-level low, so that you don’t run out of personal space.

Features: - top-down view of a house party with a large, interactive, self-governed party crowd - advanced, state-of-the-art path-finding AI, or that's what we like to think - different story outcomes depending on your choices - lots of hidden achievements - more than 10 minutes of recorded audio - hand-crafted 2D assets – a.k.a. millions of pixels in different colors :)

Software we use: - Unity - Adobe Photoshop - Krita - Paint.NET - Audacity - Git - GIMP - Visual Studio - a whiteboard and plenty of post-its - super healthy food, like crisps, and more crisps, and ... - club mate and coffee ^^=

Second ludum dare. New game engine. But I managed to finish it

Cover.PNG Pic1.PNG

Hello!

This is my second Ludum Dare. I wasn't prepared. I was busy and I forgot when Ludum Dare was.

This time I wanted to try a new Game Engine, an engine that I've been using for about 2 weeks now. Unreal Engine 4. Last time I used Unity 3D, and I've been using that Game Engine since 2.x. I wanted to try something different, so I chose something I was still learning.

Making this game was fun and frustrating sometimes, because I was stuck on some things for a few hours. I'm surprised by the end result of the game. I didn't think I would actually get it finished in time. Of course the game could have used some better art, but art is not my strongest side, programming is.

Anyways, this is my Ludum Dare 42 entry, and it was very fun to participate again!

Link to game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/box-warehousing

Another call for games to submit for streaming!

Just after the deadline I'll be running a stream on twitch. Everyone who comments/rates on my entry will have their game streamed. I'll play through it for 5 minutes or so, and then afterwards comment/rate your game as well as paste the recording in.

My LD42 entry: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/red-square

Looking forward to playing your games! Stream will happen in around 6-7 hours.

Web version

After submitting my game, I am now trying to play games from other player. Almost all the game development tools supports web version yet very few people make use of it? Itch.io ( which is the most famous one out here) supports web version which lets you play the game in the browser itself without having to download/install anything. With so little time and so many games out there , web version sounds like a very good idea.... I was able to host the game on itch.io - web version if you need any help please feel free to shout out.

Done!

Work on it alone and did not have the time to work on the music. So sorry the game is rather quiet.

Do show me some love and support by playing and rating the game. Feel free to leave any feedback too. I would love to know your thoughts on the game and would certainly hope to improve on my future games.

You are most welcome to share your highest score in the comments section of the game.

In fact, if you are playing it, share it!

Though the story is much less complete that I would like. There's no ending to the game either, just not enough time... Sigh.

Time was... not on my side.

Unfortunately, some personal stuff got in the way of me finishing my project. So much for that.

As much as I'd love to just put up what I had, I'm stuck at work and all of my project files are on my computer at home, so it looks like I'm not going to make it to the deadline, but I'll either try to tidy up what I have and make it "playable" and post it online later, or just go back and work on it when I get the chance so I can post something that isn't an unfinished mess.

A shame, I was super excited to take part in this, but I suppose I'll just have to keep practicing and try again with LD43. Fingers crossed that nothing crazy comes up for that one!!

My First Ludum Dare! that was Crazy

This was my first Ludum Dare. I have been wanting to participate in this for years. Seeing the amazing games that people come up with in such a short period of time! @deepnight has been one of my inspirations, making such great looking fun games. But every time it came up there was a conflict and I just couldn't do it. This round was no exception with my daughter's 3rd birthday. But I still wanted to submit something, So I built the base system right after the Theme was announced, then prepared for the party that was all day Saturday, and Sunday morning I hacked together all the graphics and sounds and levels. It was crazy and I had the worst migraine headache afterwards, but I'm glad to have finally gotten to participate!!

:smile:

And I am too tired to keep testing it or make more assets for the publication, so I will just leave it like this and if later I still have the energy to do something, then I maybe take some screenshots and make some gifs, and failproof more the game, but right now I need my sleep ^^;

Playing and Rating Games is Fun!

I'm had a lot of fun playing and rating games last night! I'm going to begin again in a moment.

To recap, my personal favorite game so far is Sword1 by Lawrence I had a lot of fun, and I played it to completion! 16b6a.gif

I also have my own entry called Viral and I'm really happy that people seem to like it. It's a weird game, so I wasn't sure what people would think haha. viral.gif

But yeah, I'll for sure be playing and rating more games as the Compo judgement comes to an end. And I'll also continue and play Jam games when judgement for that starts. Feel free to join me on Twitch and suggest games for me to play and rate, I'll happily play your games! :D

Godot problems

I used Godot as a temporary game engine in this jam, and it looks like it has some build problems. The game is not fully cross-platform, and the building workflow doesn't work for me. I will use Unity for the next jams, and Godot for all other non-jam development.

Level Testing for MindBlocked

Screen1.png

So we were a 2-man team working on the game, and both of us made levels. Although @Diptoman, the main programmer and designer, did a greater part of the work, ahahah. Thanks to coordination through github, even the artist(me!) can help out since I know the basics of using GMS2.

Getting puzzle levels down properly is pretty difficult- You don't know how easy or difficult a level is if you make it yourself, since you already know the correct solution! So we played each others' levels for testing, before approving them. Although that went a bit more rushed towards the end.

Our game's finally finished, you can try out our puzzle levels, and leave some feedback about how easy or difficult they were! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/mindblocked

Last minute issues

.... which I do not have the ability to resolve so I'm just watching the skype screenshare and listening to our programmer debug this thing.

I sure as hell learnt a lot participating in this. Here's a mock up of the UI.

No Game from me this time around

I was traveling this weekend. I tried to make something on the airplane, but I wasn't able to. Those seats in the back of the plane are just too small. Wrists cramping up after about a half hour of trying to do anything. Oh well, I'll be back in December. Congrats all who made a game this weekend.
