LD24

Running, Windows/Linux – MonoGame

Hi there,

I’ll be participating first time in my life. I’m a german, 17 year old student. Writing since I can think about what I’m doing software.
First in QBasic, than VBasic 6. Got to C# over VB.NET. And yeah, now I’m here, because I got here from notch. It’s fantastic event I wanted to participate and now I’m writing this post.

Okay, what I’m using?
It’s really simple: .NET Framework 3 OR 3.5 don’t know yet.  As I’m using MonoGame you all, Windows/Linux(/Mac) User, can use/play my game.

All resources in the game will be handmade with Sfxr, Paint.NET and Paint. I want to believe that Photoshop is better but it’s too big for Ludum Dare so I’m using Paint.NET.

As basic engine for the game I will use something Iso-2D like. I’m not going to use third-party libraries or software. All will be made by me.

Eventually I’m going to record it but I’m unsure to do it or not.

I hope you understand what I wrote. Want more information? Ask 😀

LDGame

Yeah, really easy gamename. No I’m not really creative in name finding or anything like that.
So, what did I do in the last, let’s say 10 hours after beginning to start coding for LudumDare?

Nothing really special. Did some gamestatemanagement (correct written?), so that you can see menu, game and that’s it.

So, the “mainmenu” is nothing more than a four-point-menu.
First item: start new game.
Second: Options, will land on an “Derp”-Page. (Content: “here is nothing”)
Third: About, will land on an “Derp”-Page.
Fourth: exit (the most used function, I hope :D)

What can you expect of my game?
A godlike game where you can manipulate the environment for or against the creatures on the map.
You will have to bring the creatues in the “end-state” – the creatures are no more bind on a physical layer on earth, they’re free in everything.

The problem is: I didn’t made as much progess as I could have.
Here is, what it looks like in current state:

Move on the map is with right Mouse drag and arrow keys.

Please comment and give me some feedback: how it looks, what features you want, how you want it to be controlled and such things. I would appreciate it 😀
