If you didn't check this game Skycrawler by @oneiromancer you for sure have to!

(you are welcome to check Cycloop too!)

Here is the link to the game. WebGL still doesn't work though. We (And I mean the other dev because I have no idea how to do these things) are still trying to figure out how to make it work.

Having trouble playing html5 games on itch.io. :sob: Is it only for me or is it for everyone :question: I also didn't host my game on itch because after uploading it I couldn't play that either. :nerd:

Hello everyone! I was really looking forward to join the ludum dare weekend and i actually had a really cool idea once i saw the theme, a game about preventing your own death by reliving the same week again anda again and make choices and actions that affects the timeline of the game. I was planning to start Saturday morning after my morning jog.

Unfortunately on Saturday morning, when i was out on a morning jog, i experienced a very sharp pain in my lower stomach and i had to go to the ER at my local hospital. There i was diagnosed with inguinal hernia and had surgery the same day. I had to stay the night at the hospital so that meant that i couldn't leave until Sunday morning, and i had 0% work done on the game. Then i knew that i was going to sit this ludum dare out.

So im still alive, but i wish i could reverse time and stay indoors the whole Saturday ;) Im still playing a bunch of cool games that everybody else have made, well done!

My friend Hacksaw did a pretty cool frog game, check it out here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/frogs-training-to-be-heros-in-a-large-wheel-thing

Hopefully i will be healthy and ready for the next ludum dare! Byeeee! ^^

I have rated over 20 other games but I'm lower in the games rating than people who have rated way less then I have and have received more ratings then they have given. What am I doing wrong?

Ill be doing my second livestream today to play your games, come hang around and watch me play your games!

subimt your games here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfCBNj8Z7rogD5IG5j1WcfnhVJjQXNy7O62wCG-rZKKFzjr5w/viewform?fbzx=-3377604818792094332

...but it is actually one of the easiest in my game. It's like Portal, but you control time instead of space. Go play!

Play & rate Looped Chaos if you haven't!

Here's a handy tip on how to make your 2D games nice and pretty. Lighting is generally an expensive and complicated operation, but if we take a simplified approach we can make a bland looking game into a good looking one without too much effort.

The first step is to clear the screen and draw into an FBO the lights. In my case I had tiles so I used a circular gradient texture for the player's field of view (shown left), and a white tile texture with heavily blurred edges for the tiles themselves (shown right). These are semi-transparent but I put a black background so that you can see easier here.

So for each glowing tile the glow texture was drawn into the FBO with a colour tint, and each glowing entity would have the circle gradient tinted.

Since lights are additive and do not override the lights drawn before them, I had to set the glBlendFuncSeparate with parameters GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_DST_ALPHA for the colours, and GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA for the alpha (you can see documentation of this openGL function here: https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL-Refpages/gl4/html/glBlendFuncSeparate.xhtml

After that was drawn, set the blend function back to normal with glBlendFunc(GL20.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL20.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA) so that images drawn in front override images in the back. Also clear the screen again and draw your normal game with its entities and tiles.

Then we end up with the two views (on the left what is now drawn to the screen, on the right stored in the FBO) on top shown here:

Lastly to combine these two, draw the FBO (i.e the lighting) with the blend function glBlendFunc(GL_DST_COLOR, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA) so that the lighting produces a multiply effect as is done in image processing, darkening non-lit areas, and then you are done! To draw a UI, simply repeat the normal drawing step again with only your UI elements so it is not affected by the lighting.

I hope you can take from this and make prettier 2D games! If you want to see my compo entry where I used this technique go to https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/keys-and-goblins where the source code is linked as well to see how this works in code.

If you played HONK II and fell in love with its OST by Sava T, you could listen to it on Youtube or on Soundcloud.

How's everybody doin'? I made this little 2D frenetic circular platformer called 'Counterclockwise' for this edition and it's playable in HTML. Check it out!

Playing around with pathfinding in our non-tilebased city. The main challenge is that each road consists of multiple lanes, with junctions only allowing some of the possible turns (as in real life). A mighty system to create any street i can think of, but difficult for pathfinding.

I think it's funny that i can check what google maps says, and if it agrees on the ideal path with our game - because it's (a part of) the city of Dresden, most streets as in real life.

Is anyone interested in how to setup roads like that? Was quite a headache when starting, but turned out really nice :)

I enjoyed Ludum Dare 47 and the theme was very challenging for me. I had quite some fun

We got so much positive feedback and would like to thanks anyone who tried our game and gave us any kind of feedback. We, as a team, being first timers and all, we really appreciate anything people say so thank you for using a part of your time to play and rate this gem we created!
