Compo Entry – Ultimate Showdown

You play as the victim of an evil wizard that has decided to send you to his battle room. The evil wizard continues to throw new things into the room on a schedule as he cackles maniacally as you struggle to survive. How entertaining will your visit be for the wizard? Muahahahahaha!

Post compo thoughts for LD37

I don’t feel like I am a good enough programmer. I mean I am at a point where I can pretty much make an algorithm for whatever I can think of. But when it comes to coding that, I can’t. this ludum dare was a good example of that. It taught me how inexperienced I am. In 48 hours, I was only able to get a room simulation running and that’s it. I procrastinated a lot. My idea was not that great and the execution of that idea was… Not enough to make a good game.

So overall, this could be the worst jam for me. But I have seen other games. You guys did an amazing job, like always. Being in here, jamming with you all gives me insight, inspiration… Everyone is really creative here. I mean I have seen so many good games that I couldn’t have think at all.

I would like to say thank you for being here in this jam all the way through. I love how everyone in this community is helpful to each other. It’s like we are improving together and hopefully we’ll do better each time.

Anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself. Hope you all had fun for the compo and congrats for finishing it in time :)

Also, my game is here, if anyone is interested to look at a teen simulator 😛

Hopefully, this jam was enlightening for you all :) See you in the next one!

Finally… assets

This is the first time I’ve done art with the hard black borders. It’s kind of a fun goofy toony style.

Um…yes… the NPCs are rather ugly… Try not to mention that to their face, poor guys :(

RooM

Wow, it was tough!

My first LD compo entry. Wasn’t sure I’ll finish it.

But I’m happy with my result.

Thank you all guys for this event!

So many awesome games posted. It’s unbelievable what you guys do in such a short period of time.

Link to my entry: RooM. Hope you’ll like it)

Almost there! :D

It has been an amazing 72 hours! Putting some finishing touches on our game and then it will be ready to post!

In the meantime here is a gif 😀

Almost there!

Had to cut down a lot of stuff, because I spent some time lazing aroung, but it’s coming up! :) The idea is pretty lazy by itself. XD Gotta finish some scoring and the timer and I’m done!

I’ll beef it up in the post-jam version, but I’m quite happy with the results in my entry.

It’ll be a game about being poor (or just a bit stingy). It’s called: “Rainwater (is free)” 😛

Play “Keep Working!” here!

Keep Working! tells the story of a Game Developer dolphin that works for a big company and must do everything his octopus boss says.
(This game shows a vision of the videogame industry, all characters are fictional but the story is based on true events).

PLAY IT HERE – KEEP WORKING!

Shameless Plug Blog

Wasn’t going to do LD and then i did anyway and now I have had 3 1/2 hours sleep so please make my sacrifice not in vain and play

UnfairBnB

Building

I can’t promise much but I haven’t seen anyone else doing the same thing as this yet, so there’s that going for it :)

You have a spare room and lots of expenses so are looking for a way to keep your level of luxury where it is without being unable to afford your own rent. You have a spare room so you have put your details on the trendiest app for of the grid letting, UnfairBnB. Knowing very little about people you can pick who you want to share your house, but be careful because you never know how secure someones job is, or if they might skip out on paying the rent altogether.

Made in about 10 hours in the end due to other commitments, most of that in a 7 hr final stretch(seriously 7hrs prior to deadline I had about 3 scripts and one UI element) so a lot of parts dropped due to time limitations and wanting to get something playable out.

I also generally operate a You Play Mine, I Play Yours Policy, so leave a comment and i will prioritise making it to your game :)

Final Stretch

Dunno how courtesy goes here on the LD website and I don’t want to take steam away from the MVPs doing the compo, but if these posts aren’t consistent imma neck myself, so here we go.

 
Heading up to the last 12 hours and we are almost entirely done with the game, all of the sprites are done, all of the game mechanics are done, and all of the SFX are done and getting implemented in the morning (hopefully). we are now up to the phase of play testing. And oh boy is this an experience and a half from bugs that trap and kill you to the ability to become permanently invincible to the game being literally unbeatable on certain resolutions, we have a bit of work on our hands refining and fixing up some of the smaller stuff we didn’t think of. Thanks for the great experience so far LD, good luck to all those finishing jams and well done to those who have finished compo.

Bo$$

A happy poop game

So… One room. The way we approached the theme was to start from gameplay and get the theme from there. What if, in a twin stick shooter, you were fighting in a room that gets smaller the worse you play? What if failing to kill the enemies is what makes the room smaller? Also, don’t organs squeeze when they empty themselves? So, that’s the game we are working on. It’s almost done and, yeah, it’s about poop. But it has rainbows and it’s kind of adorable, isn’t it?

DOOMTANK Level Names

Hi guys! Give us ideas for level names! If possible, we’ll include a level inspired by your name.

The theme is “names that aren’t afraid to be cool” in the style of Doom or Duke Nukem.

Examples are:

  • Inferno
  • Daddy’s Baddies
  • House of Pain
  • Hurt Me Plenty

I guess for the Jam then

Yesterday was super tired somehow, can’t finish the game for the compo, I guess I can submit it for the jam 😀
