I was on the fence about joining, but almost 7 hours into LD, I got an idea I just have to try. I guess I'll consider this my "I'm In" post.

It's late here, so going to bed, getting up early tomorrow, and will see what I can put together. I think I can get something playable out by the end of the weekend.

I've made my floppy disks! They can now be inserted and pulled in a way that is similar to the one seen in Papers, Please and I'm pretty happy with it! Now I just need to make the actual computer screen!

edit: There seems to be a bit of lag in the gif near the start ;/

My game involves picking up and putting down boxes, and the code I wrote to do that resulted in a pretty funny physics glitch. If you clip the box into the ground just right when you put it down, it launches you really high into the air. Also the box can completely clip through and fall into the void, so I made it teleport above the ground if that happens. Not sure whether I should fix it or leave it :)

I've certainly got some shootable cubes!

Game has a name - "Bon☆Guys". Will be using this old-style navigation for moving around your apartment.

I made a thing... not sure exactly where its going yet.

Took me a long time to think of an idea I wasn't completely unhappy with. I eventually thought of an idea for a sort of platforming game set in ancient Egypt. You are exploring a pyramid and the goal is to reach the top, so with every floor the available space becomes smaller.

After basic design of the game, I started with making sprites, trying to make them match the ancient Egypt theme. However, as I have no experience at all in making assets for games, this took me forever... finally, 6 hours since start time, I have one walk animation for the player, and one for an enemy (a snake):

Remember the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Remember Me", where people start disappearing and only Beverly Crusher notices, until it turns out that the universe is collapsing in some sort of phase bubble because the fools in Engineering were messing with the warp core yet again?

You could say she was... running out of space.

My concept is loosely inspired by that episode. The fabric of space itself is collapsing, and ... though some mechanism ... the player has to stop it.

For the moment, I've got a mockup of the player and the spread of collapsed space-time:

Not sure how much farther I'll push on tonight - I might have a clearer concept of where I want to take this after a good night's sleep. The altered start time is confusing me a bit as I'm having a hard sense of gauging where I should be compared to my progress in previous LDs.

No, really. In theory, soon aliens should start attacking survivors ... But how to finish the game? Do she have any meaningful ending at all? I dont know

I'm only on my Chromebook currently, so I've been working on art through the wonderful Piskel website!

Here's some sprites so far:

More info to follow! Tomorrow. When I've slept. Goodnight, and good luck!

I'm happy with the development of first game of my life hahaha :D but I'm not getting sucess on rolling the ball - the point Y+ change on first rolling, what makes the X+ get lost - and this is making me stuck. :(

I think the game will be funny if I made it to the end.

Woke up and hour ago, now waiting for my friends on the other side of the globe to wake up so we can get crackin’.

We discussed the idea of the game before the theme was published, and we might stick to it. We’ll see if we get the Running Out of Space stuff in there somewhere.

Better late than never!

I'm building the animations and player controller, along with input methods. At some point, it's going to get fun to play (I hope)

Hi guys!

This will be my game for Ludum Dare 42. The tiles will fall down whenever you move over them.

A classic pick up and deliver at heart. You have a truck and try to fit the oddly-shaped pieces into your cargo space, delivering them to their destinations, getting money for that with which you improve your cargo space and truck speed.

At this point, I can imagine the full game and it being fun. I hope to have fully playable mock-up prototype by hour 12.

Meet Dr. Ishii, a scientist and spelunker in search of buried treasure.

Using his trusty magnets, Dr. Ishii pulls and pushes metal towards him to quickly uncover valuable metals and defeat his enemies. The doctor has to be careful, though. His magnets destabilize the caves he enters often leading to their collapse.

At the end of day one, I've mostly finished the game engine, and im going to focus on polishing and assets tomorrow. The idea is that you have to keep working on your computer, while trash fills up your room. Melting the garbage takes away the risk of getting engulfed by the trash and losing, but the heat impacts how much time you have to work before you lose. To counterbalance this, you can open a window to more quickly cool down the room, but you cant melt or work while you're doing this, nor can you use the window while using the heat.

We're in for Ludum Dare 42! Joining the Jam again.

After successfully finishing a game, last time we took part. More optimistic we'll do the same this time!

Using Godot again as well, since we really enjoyed using it last time.

Time to have some fun!

As you can see we made no progress! Well me and my mate Agreed that we would be online on the start of theme annoucement.but not on the selection and even 1 hour befor the selection.he was offline!he woke up 1 hour afterwards.i was sleep then(it was 3:30 AM) and now im here in early morning.he is still offline No progress! In his place theme announcement was at 00:00 I dont know how but he managed to sleep at that hour

It appears to be my game.

I started with something REALLY different than this, and I'm not sure how I ended up here. But I do like how it makes the reduction of cells in the map interesting to interact with at a basic movement level, so I think this is my game.
