This is my first time, and I havent preapred very well. I havent Cleard Time plus I not that pro and still learning, but i’ve never been able to fully start and complete my own game so maybe a this will help any way:

Language: Java

IDE: Eclipse

Graphics/Art: Paint.net, Graphics Gale, Gimp (we have had incidents in the past so im not sure)

Anyway this was rushed due to that uncleared time i was talking about so yeah have good time!

Look’s like im not gonna finish, but im going to go down fighting. Ive gone MAD from all this and kinda enjoyed it, and ive learned you need to plan and clear your schedule, oh well. As this was technically my first game and it starting to actully go alright(a bit late) im going to carry on finishing it(even though i have no idea what ‘it’ is), part of me is telling me to try and make something quickly from what i got and summit that, but the other saying it to late i guess we will see.

As is custom to the ludum dare’s here is my “im in” post
Sorry i’m a bit late to the party, it’s a unessary story so i wont say.

Jumping on the Java wagon using eclipse
Graphics will be Paint.net and Gimp(I usally use gimp just for text graphics)
Still working on the audio(only learnt to implement it recently)

This will be my 2nd attempt first time i was completely unpreapred and still really new, but now Im prepared (sought of), but my (lets call it) “training” has been very limted due to a long story about me having to learn python more indepth which most of you might say is good but the part i learned i will problay never use again. Any who, 2nd time; wasn’t prepared last time; more prepared this time; not sure how preapered; yada yada yada…

So i’ve had some complication had a promblem with the IDE(eclipse) so spent a while trying to fix it(Ive been wasting a lot of time today, some purposfully, some involetrarry and some nt my fault. Anyway finally more or less got the core game mechanics down, depending on where this leads there may be more to add.

I had some time to think sbout the theme earlier and had some suggestion, but its a bit late now, but if your like me and don’t have a solid concept, havent thought of a way to implemet it or do not even have a concept here it is I was thinking more broadly and from 10 seconds I thought of time and how you can use 10 seconds in the form of time, what i mean is like manipulating time back, fast, slow, time travel and find away for it to relate to 10 seconds. Well thats my thought.

Good day/night/evining/afternoon/etc.. and happy ludum dare(ing).

This would be an edit: Since alot of people are posting there game progress through the pictures heres a picture of my incredible sand sprite(this is the first time i’ve had a sand sprite and i don’t know what it will look like so this is just temparoy unless i forget or cant be bothered to make a new sand sprite). Anyway Ill problay past a pic of my game once i finshed my player sprite.

So (I had to go to a barbucue the last few hours so) Im not gonna finish in time for compo, but ever since I bailed on the last ludum dare I said I was going to complete this one and dangnamit I will. This would be my first game and I aim to complete it, IT SHALL BE SEEN BY THE WORLD. I was not as prepared as i thought I had quite a few promblems my schedule was not as cleread as i first thought; I’m not very good at writing a plan on paper; aswell as other. Oh well, I want to, NO! Im going to complete this for the jam and it will be MEDICORE or SO BAD ITS GOOD SOUGHT OF.

P.S.-I f your even reading this I thought you might like to know that I orginally came on here

P.S part 2 – (I didn’t really think you would like to know, for the record)

So just finished my proper player sprite ( ’cause i made a player sprite, but it was a robot that i made ’cause i didnt know what my concept was and why the hell not and i thoght it would of been really random and out of context, also started making a ninja one too) and it’s staring to look good all i need to do now is finish my level designs, add a bit of context, add some sound(I’ll do this last if I have time), and maybe touch up that room a little.

Sorry this is late but I went to sleep late and had a long sleep and then went out into the real world and avoided using a PC so I could relax.

I technically finshed my game, but didnt get to submit. It had multiple promblems I had tested the complete product so I didn’t even know if it 100%. Although i wasn’t completely sure it wouldnt have worked it problay would have, but since it was just barley finshed, the game would have problay beenver generic and “boring” and the person palying would have problay lost interst quickly plus it dosent really tell you the controls; the implemtation of the theme didn’t end up as what i orginally planned; and there were many other promblems.

I really wanted to finish this one i was determinded i really wanted to ’cause I promised myself when I bailed last time that i would finish this one which i almost did until some complications happened it was literly like seconds, but its a long story to explain. Anyway since it was my first game I’m problay going to fix it up and do something with it, it’s going to be hard to fix espically since the code is very messy and there’s alot of just working code which I added last minute. Anyway after I’ve enjoyed sometime in the fresh air going to step up and get ready to come back with even more.(Thinking of learning javascript not for games, but you never know or c++ , because it seems like a main programming lauguage to learn or maybe just LWJGL)

P.S. I know this is long, but someones problay going to read so i tip my metaphorical hat of to you.

Happy play/rate(ing), PEACE OUT!
