Streaming LD Games and Giving Feedback - TONIGHT

As with previous years, I'll be streaming LD games and giving feedback on stream over at:

https://www.twitch.tv/honestdangames for about 5 hours today.

I only play entries if the developer is in chat. If a game is called but no developer is in chat to respond within 60 seconds, the game is removed from queue. This may sound harsh but it rewards those who are actually present, and ensures I get through games pretty quick. It also means those waiting in line do not need to worry about people who missed their game coming back later and jumping back in line ahead of them.

  • The !submit command will be opened up when I go live.
  • The current scheduled time to go live is about 16:00 UK time (11:00 EST).

Making of Caterpillar Cowboy - our Dev Log

Inspired by other ludum dare dev logs on youtube, we recorded our own this jam. It was entertaining to edit the footage and reminisce on events that happened less than a week ago, but now seem so distant.

I can recommend it to anyone considering it for next time, we used OBS to occasionally do a screen recording.

If you have devlog, feel free to share it in a comment.

TimeBot - A Puzzle Platformer

Title Screen.PNG

Do you like puzzles? How about platformers? If the answer to either of those was "yes," then you'll love my game: TimeBot! In this game, you play as a robot trying to get through nine stages. To get through puzzles, you must leave past instances of yourself to help solve puzzles and create new platforms to use! Check it out, and please leave some feedback! It's available for Windows and Mac.

Yabba Dabba Doo! Another One!

Since @mvasko2 also made it to the top, he asked me to make him the Flintstone car.

So here it is in our game:

You can now crash into this beautiful car around the Arc de Triomphe in our game Stuck In Paris and watch it cause dreadful explosions all around the place.

Loopy Particle Simulator gets a post-jam version!

Banner.jpg

Last week, my entry to LD47 was an open-ended puzzle game (Zachtronic-style) where you construct a particle accelerator. You make particles speed up in loops and use collision chambers to create new and exciting particles! You can find the jam version here:
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/loopy-particle-simulator

LD47_15b.gif

I'm now working on a post-jam version, and the first release is here on itch.io:
https://nusan.itch.io/loopy-particle
This add: - save and load your creations (in freeplay mode) - improved performances with lots of particles (still not perfect) - add a "Panic button!" to destroy all particles in case of emergencies

Post screenshots of your circuits on the game page or on twitter @NuSan_fx as I would love to see them!

LIVE NOW - Ludum Dare 47 Game Feedback with Honest Dan

I'm currently LIVE on:

https://www.twitch.tv/honestdangames for about 5 hours today.

I only play entries if the developer is in chat. If a game is called but no developer is in chat to respond within 60 seconds, the game is removed from queue. This may sound harsh but it rewards those who are actually present, and ensures I get through games pretty quick. It also means those waiting in line do not need to worry about people who missed their game coming back later and jumping back in line ahead of them.

  • The !submit command is now live
  • The !list command will show the current queue of games
  • Please read the rules on the !list to be clear you're happy with my approach
