Need a break from working on my game to keep the creative juices flowing.

Code: GameMaker Studio (all GML, no idea how to use the drag & drop lol)

Art: Photoshop and Spine if there’s time to get fancy

Music/SFX: Digging through Kevin MacLeod’s royalty-free incompetech.com music and the boopin’est sounds I can make in bxfr.net

Fuel: A fridge full of Monster Zero Ultra and the crippling fear of public failure and embarrassment that would no doubt lead to years of shame and guilt piling up, speeding my inevitable descent down a sinking merry-go-round of booze, strippers and self-loathing till I hit rock bottom, forced to beg you for spare change from my cardboard box on the street outside your apartment…I’ll be the one holding the cardboard sign with “I ENTERED LUDUM DARE AND DIDN’T FINISH MY GAME” scrawled across it.

Twitter: @BPOutlaws – I’ll be Tweeting my progress thru the weekend

After 17 hours of drawing, coding and fucking up I finally have progress lol time for food #LDJAM #gameDev

LD32 was my first LDJAM and I made this:

This time I’m going to make something even more pointlessly flashy and ridiculous. Maybe. Or maybe it’ll be some DEEP MEANINGFUL ART PIECE gamifying social commentary through deep pixelated metaphors that make you question everything you’ve ever known about life and reality. WHO KNOWS?? …it’ll probably have explosions either way though.

Code: GameMaker Studio (this time I’m being smart and putting together a framework ahead of time so I don’t have to waste a day trying to make a camera zoom out or get Spine animations to import properly lol)

Art: Photoshop and Spine

Music/SFX: Digging through Kevin MacLeod’s royalty-free incompetech.com music and the boopin’est sounds I can make in bxfr.net as always.

Fuel: All the Monster I’ve been living off may or may not have made my heart almost explode so I haven’t had Monster or caffeine in a month. I figure since I’m not used to caffiene anymore I can expect one cup of green tea to keep me wide awake from this LDJAM till the next one. I WILL BE SO PRODUCTIVE.

Twitter: @BPOutlaws – I’ll be Tweeting my progress thru the weekend, follow me and watch my psyche slowly crumble from the stress till I’m reduced to a blubbering mass, rocking back and forth crying silent tears in the fetal position.

Haven’t stopped for a break or a nap or food in 13 hours. Stick with it till the 10 second mark for shapeshifting lol

Progress is going great, got a bunch of cool shit in and it feels good to play. The main game mechanics are all done so today will be about putting in enemies and swarm patterns etc!

Threw in a Time Extended max cap so the player can’t get crazy excessive amounts of time and have no reason to care about it anymore lol I did a few other tweaks no one will notice but I’m planning to develop this one into a full game when I finish my current game (a previous Ludum Dare entry) so I think I’m going to save the major tweaks for when I do that. Looking for any feedback on this LDJAM entry so that I can take it into account when I design the full game so please give it a try and leave some feedback so I can find potential problems early on!

I’ll also be doing a post-mortem up so follow me on Twitter at @BPOutlaws or stay tuned here for when that goes up! I’m pretty psyched with how this game came out, getting to be a much better programmer these days with all the work I’m putting in!
