S.H.R.O.U.D. is now open source. Rejoice!

SHROUDD.png

Not sure why you'd want to read my awful code, but I think that every piece of code should be open source, so here it is.

If you clone it then it should work on your machine as well, and you'll be able to remix it. Or you could fix bugs for me ;)

Also check my game if you haven't yet, it's not that bad I promise!

The second possible character

In the very beginning of developing our LD44 game Big Fascinating Mutants, we were planning to make 2 different characters with different abilities. And the second character would have been a half elephant halm mooseopus. SecondCharacter.png

Thx for all your comments and feedback.

Playthroughs of GARUA!

I uploaded two playthrough videos of our game GARUA

============

Original jam version: (play this for ratings)

The problem with this is that you can farm for a shit ton of blood,

and then everything becomes easy. (This is my "speedrun")

============

Hard version: (this was made the day after the jam ended)

The "refined" version- limits the number of blood you can enter the fights with.

Post Mortem of a First-Time-Solo-Participant

This Game Jam has been a pretty tough one for me! Vampire.png I have participated in one Ludum Dare and two other Game Jams so far, but always in teams of at least 3 people. This year none of my other colleagues had time, so I planned to finish this time in 48 hours and hand it in for Compo! I'm always using Unity, Photoshop and PyxelEdit.

Lets start with the theme: I didn't like it at all :sweat_smile:

But that shouldn't stop me from building something cool. I think, I struggled about 2 hours finding anything I wanted to build but finally I started working on something related to "Conway's game of life" but with hex-fields. In about 3 or 4 hours I had set up something functioning. So I experimented a bit with the more or less game I have created and started to realize, that this one wasn't fun playing at all. So this is how this idea died! :sweatsmile: Gospers/emglider_gun.gif

After that realization, I chatted with a friend of mine and we finally got an idea that I wanted to build.

You are the blood source to a vampire and are prisoner in his dungeon. So you have to spend blood, find ways to regenerate that and finally escape.

That's the idea of the game I finally made. But the first day was mostly over and I completed near to nothing :tired_face: The next day was very productive, but finishing the game and making all the assets myself was utopian. So this is how the idea of handing in for Compo also died!

I went with the Jam now and tried to do as much of the graphics as I could and added the rest from a library. At this stage I had a lot of the systems running. The character was able to move smoothly, collide with walls and interior and to interact with objects. Maybe I allowed my self to spend to much time finetuning some of the mechanics and visuals but it wouldn't be fun without that, right? :smile: Screenshot_1.png

The last step was building the level and making sure, that there was at least one win- and loose-condition. Adding any sounds or menus wasn't possible any more. But that's ok. - I'm very proud of the art-style - The movement feels really smooth - I didn't even produce too bad code - I learned a lot! :slight_smile:

Game Themes

Does someone know whether there's avaiable list of themes we voted on? I would be really glad if someone shared it :smiley:

Flow and Android games

This is the first LD where I have published an android version. I would really like to play and rate as many android submissions as possible. Send me your links.

Watch my little demo which was captured from my android device. Sound is a bit rubbish but you get the jist.
