I have some experience in game creation, I used the Panda3D engine and made some shaders and nature scenes programming with pandas and birds. Then I made 4 games with Stencyl. This was my first project in Unity.

 

What went good :

• I could upload the game in time,
• I could make my game work.

What went bad :

• I discovered crucial bugs at the time of uploading, couldn’t solve them as I was tired,
• I was planning to add voices and typos effects during gameplay, couldn’t implement them in time,
• I made the 3 levels in the last hour, so I didn’t work on the fun, gameplay and replayability factor,
• I couldn’t make levels with a grid, so I can snap different terrains parts together,
• there is no music as well :/

What is the future :

• I plan to finish this game, polish it, make some fun levels and publish it on the google store for free of course.

I’m preparing the post-compo version with responsive controls, 2 players modes and levels + polish !

The current version has some bugs with controls, heroes not jumping when they should, etc…

Here is the link to the compo version : here

Can you make them be together again ?

 

The post-compo version is ready on itch !

(Got a critical bug for resolution, fixes incoming this week)

It’s a 2 players game, puzzle-platform.
Controls : E,S,D,F & arrows or 2 gamepads.

LD30 version here : here

Download the game on Itch : here 

 

 

 

 

Updated ! Ready for LD31 guys !

Hello guys, make HeShe appear on Steam, the game will be free.

Vote here : there

 

First, timelapse !

Hard theme, in my opinion, I had the idea to make a subwater life simulation with commerce elements and fishes breeding.

I wanted to use Spriter to have modular creatures, with different elements given seeds stats (weight, number of eyes, herbivor, carnivor…)

No time to do all of that :/ So my entry is not really a game, maybe a life simulation, where biggest fishes feed on smaller and with 2 species availables.
I made some code that allowed the vessel to capture fishes starting from a given age and to give them back to a “seller”.

Not really happy with the end result, gameplay wise, even if the code part is far more complex than my previous compo entry (HeShe).

Construct2 is really good when it comes to prototype and testing some gameplay, BUT its arrays are BAD, or at least I don’t really get  how to use them.

I used to program in Python, and it was simpler to use ! Same thing for OOP; OOP in Construct2 is kinda hard imo, how to make master classes and children classes isn’t possible, at least without third-party plugins. You have instances variables available but that’s all. Maybe someone here with more Construct2 experience can help me ? 😀

Graphics wise, I had not enough time to make particles and candy shaders like bloom or random noise, neither caustics or water fluids graphics.

Now testing your games, guys !
See ya.

Here are some games I found good, I think they need votes !

–

Spooky atmosphere, kinda scary game :
Ab Intra

–

Pure Nes pleasure :
Rescue the princess

–

Two players orgy :
Sheeball

If any of you have tips about steam workshop integration or smth else don’t hesitate !

Hello there, I’d like to participate to the LD33 !
I’d like to join a team or team-up with someone else, we can work by voice with Skype.

I’m learning UE4 for 3 weeks atm to be operationnal, I can make 2d or 3d assets (Blender, Zbrush) and some music.
I’m looking for game designers / programmers / musicians !

Tell me in comments !

I’m still looking for someone to team up for the next ludum dare, I can make 2d or 3d things, I use and know Construct2, Blender, Zbrush.

If you have some experience with previous game jams I would be very happy ! I’d like to use UE4 but I’m open to other engines as well. We can use Skype to communicate.

Thank you Ludum Dare !

 

I’m in : Compo 48h.

Engine : UE4,

Sound : Stagelight,

Graphics : Zbrush, Blender, Project Doggwaffle,

Hope I like the theme this time ! 😀

 

 

Hello there !
Wanted to use UE4 for this LD, so I made a project not original (at all) to get used to this engine.

So far, I think UE4 is a nice engine, but it crashes a lot :/ and I can’t even play my game on my computer flawlessly (ok I have an Intel HD 5000). I’m not satisfied about the art style I used and the creature is very groteske to my taste; but I have lost so much time trying to align meshes in the editor that I think I lost some creativity….

And blueprints are nice but I’m still having difficulties with it ! Look at this mess !

I’m asking myself if the sounds of rain and thunder I took on some free sounds samples website is ok, as I did the music and voices by myself and the global audio is made in my “own thinking” (sorry for my french!). I like to make all from scratch (even if I use references photos or else from the web, which I think is good) so I’m asking this !

Anyway here are some captures and timelapse video link !

Will test your games when I have time ! Post me a link to your game there or in the comments of my game !

Here is the video if your computer is too slow like mine !

After giving a try to UE4 for this Ludum Dare, I’m seriously thinking about going back to Unity (used version 4 before, a little bit, for LD28). UE4 is slow on my computer (Intel Hd 5000), makes it heat up and the material editor takes ages to refresh and fails to give instant visual feedback to the changes.

I really liked the blueprint system still.

So in Unity I saw they have multiple visual programming plugins now. What plugin would you pick yourself, looks like Playmaker got thousands of users, what is your Ludum Darer experience with it eventually ! and compared to Unreal Engine ?

Waiting for answers !

Trying to export to html5 with UE4 atm !

Hi there,
I’m doing a remake of my LD33, with Unity and Playmaker this time ! Prototype is soon ready, I need to have a working inventory and keys / doors system with unique numbers.

Here is the graph for Guards :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I need to make new 3D assets (they are on paper atm) and I try to improve the gameplay.

Stay tuned !
You can play my entry there (UE4 version) : WHERE AM I ?

Old game developers, nostalgic of Amstrad or Atari era, with big CRT green screens,
download and test my game, no screenshots so no spoilers!

Post-mortem, timelapse and gameplay video soon:!

Thank you!

This time there was a longer concept phase with drawings and stuff. I was aiming for a puzzle, and being solo on this, I wanted to participate to the COMPO, but I wanted a bit more polish, so for the first time I chosed the JAM!

I was aiming for a very different art style, but looking at the clock and the time it would take, I decided the game would be about a computer & an AI.

The art style and effects are inspired by my old CPC 464 with a failing green screen. It was my first computer@10 and I remember myself coding a sh**ty text adventure.

The beast Amstrad CPC 464 @1984, before the floppy disk era.

The first day was very hard for me, I was supposed to work with a programmer friend but he couldn’t participate so I had to do all the code by myself and it was painful 😀

One of the puzzle “code”

I recorded some voices by mic but didn’t include them. So it was an interesting experience, I think the puzzles suck a bit maybe you’ll like them anyway!

If you wanna play this little game :

PLEASE Chose the standalone windows version in fullscreen for best experience!
Thank You !

If you donˋt have much votes and want some feedback, put me a link here ! Ìll be happy to review them (I don’t have VR hardware ).

Thank you!

About 5 minutes of gameplay / thinking !
How much time will it take for you to resolve the puzzles ?
