Well it was different to what i was hoping, but i think this will be fun regardless.

Running man meets Ice Fishing meets Top Down RPG, this is going to be fun 😀

This Theme is just making me think of old game ideas that I never made, over again

Now time to brainstorm. One room .. escape theme?

• Engine: Crafty.js
• Graphics: Blender & Gimp
• Audio: Garageband, maybe python midi lib
• Sounds: Audacity

Dug into GDX a bit, but I think I am going to stick to Crafty.js and focus on gameplay!

Good Luck to all, here’s to hoping i finish!

The theme, One Room, is easy to work out in a visual novel.

The hardest part is to make the story engaging.

So, instead of those cliched mystery trapped-in-a-room games we’ve been bored to death of, I’ll be making a slice-of-life VN.

I’ve got a character artist on board, so I’m set.

I’m in for LD37. Like LD36 entry, it’ll be from scratch. I thought about using the SpringRoll framework, but I didn’t find a quick way to jump in. I’ve been playing around with iDS-10 on my iPad, so I might do SFX and music with it. We’ll see.

Engine: none!

Language: Typescript!

Graphics: Hand-drawn and scanned or drawn on my iPad! Maybe just no art at all!

Sound and Music: STRETCH GOAL! iDS-10, and then edited in Audacity or GarageBand, which ever works easiest.

So its 3:30 am here in Sweden, and I stayed up just to find out the theme. I thought would perhaps start working as well, but it will have to wait for the morning.

I hope I will dream lots of ideas about one room games..

See you tomorrow!

All I can think is about those escape/adventure-click-things games… don’t want to to that, lol!

1. VR gimmicks (everyone who voted the theme simply due to having a Vive, I’m onto you)
2. Crappy flash-type “escape the room by clicking at things” affair
3. 70s arcade boxed gameplay thing (Asteroids, Tetris)
4. One of those random-ass party games where you have the camera struggling to keep all 4 players onscreen
5. Portal/Spacechem-type puzzle game
6. Worms/Liero maps that are entirely enclosed
7. A boss game
8. Hotline Miami 2, AKA HM without walls (don’t actually do this pls)
9. I am Bread (I actually loved that game)
10. Super Crate Box
11. Please Don’t Touch Anything (actually an LD game on VERY similar theme)
12. Papers, Please
13. Rocket League
14. Literally any type of game with a “toys in the kid’s room” cop-out

Im doing something different this time. Xmas themed with 4 kids bashing out a song in the garage (One room). Only thing is the Xmas grinch (their neighbour) isnt happy with their rehearsals. If the grinch knocks one of the kids over they stop playing. They need to complete the entire song without anyone stopping for a perfect score. Added bonus is Im writing it for Google cardboard using the Unity Google VR package.

-Paint.Net

-FL Studio

Godspeed everyone! :’D

It’s been five Ludum Dare Jams with SynthGuitar since I last participated and here we are again. I made sure that the weekend is free to focus all the time on Ludum Dare. Let’s begin!

The chosen topic is: One room

As per usual the first idea that pops into my head is some platformer, but as the past has proven, making a platformer from scratch in the given time frame is quite tricky, especially since I’ve never implemented a fully working platformer. Not putting the idea right off, but maybe there are more interesting things to go after.

The plan right now is to first get some sleep and in the morning brainstorm a bit in what ways “room” can be interpreted and how far one can stretch the definition of “one”.

Here’s a cute dog picture just because dogs are awesome!

Get in touch with me on Twitter.
Don’t miss the streams on Twitch and Livecoding.tv tomorrow!

Let's start, my friends.
 
 Este tema está interesante, vamos a tener que pensarlo un poco.
 
 Tiene cierto aire de terror o algo por el estilo...
 Voy a pensar la idea y luego plantearé una base para comenzar, con todo lo principal.
 Realmente no pienso comenzar con el desarrollo inmediatamente, pues me encuentro muy cansado e este momento y lo mejor es que descanse, pero sí voy a despertar temprano y comenzaré con mí juego, con una buena taza de café caliente, ¡Claro!
 
 ¡Vamos a darle!
 
 Estado actual: cansado y con mucha hambre.

So, ideas…

Nothing in my head. STOP! New Year and winter is a good theme!!!
But also let’s take a look to game idea generators XD

Hey ! Just a little message to say that we’re in, 4 little french guys making games with love.

We use :

Unity, Photoshop, Pro Motion, Audition, Illustrator, Tiled….or any other soft needed for our games.

Have a great jam !

Prepping for my first every game jam, and I’m feeling stoked. Gonna aim for the 48 hour compo because I’m a crazy person who knows no limits! 😛

I’m doomed.

Got a great idea to do a single room sort of puzzle/experience storytelling game. Storytelling and inventing is my strength, and I’m looking forward to something in the style of some classic RPG maker horror games, like the Crooked Man and such.

Programs:

• Unity 5.5
• Gimp 2.8
• Paint.net
• Byond Dream Maker (So good for making sprites!)
• Sfxr
• fftuner
• and a few others along those lines I’ll add as I remember them.

Getting this bowl of perogies in my belly and then it’s straight to work! First ever jam, here I come :D!!!

My first ever Ludum Dare!

It is a pleasure to be with you all! Now time to think about a game!

Good luck to everyone!

Edit Tools :

Unity

Photoshop

Maya

at the moment .. we will see what it will be at the end!

So out of my 17 ideas I’m going with this:

“Survival game where you are stuck in a room with a murderer or monster and you have to move from hiding place to hiding place without getting spotted. You can guess the movements of the murderer by what he says or does when hunting you and during a brief introduction into his murdering methods.”

I have the clearest image in my head as to how I want it to look and feel, and I can think up the most amount of interesting mechanics for it.

Now to design this game up!

i’m already running out of time
