Have a couple things that I can approach for this years October challnge

Been starting on a top down game, with some minor random map generation, somewhat like a rogue like, but more like an RPG with rogue elements. Going to build it with Phaser to give that engine more of a try.

Another thing is I could work on my LD29 game a bit more: http://projects.agmprojects.com/searchforhope. It’s something I would like to work on more, but i’ve held that off a bit as I’ve been working towards WebGL support in MelonJS.

Not sure which I’ll do yet, but new projects are always fun. Been a while since i’ve started one

This will be my 8th ludum dare, yay! 7th to hopefully submit, as last one in the summer i lost motivation and wanted to continue on a bigger project I had already started. This time though I’ll actually put some thought into it and get something done.

Pretty much going to use my usual stack:

MelonJS HTML5 game engine.
Sublime text 3 to code
Pixelmator for art
My guitar and or garage band for music, cfxr for sound effects.

I’ll likely do the 48 hr compo, as I usually can’t seem to convince friends of mine to join me.

Got the game done in time for the Compo deadline. When the theme came up, I somehow thought of the idea “Ninja with a Teddy Bear”. I wanted to create a top down game, so I put the ninja in a room where he has to take out enemies of some kind. The boss quickly became a little girl who wants the teddy, so she spawns enemies at you who will stun you after a short duration.

I think the only real downside is my art. I wish i could have done a higher quality title screen :). Check it out here, and give me some honest feedback: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=15813

Had a work christmas party tonight, so im starting a few hours late. I know it’s not in rules anymore, but the code im starting with roughly from last week warmup: https://github.com/agmcleod/ld34-warmup. I’ll likely exclude box2d in the build, as i dont think i’ll need full physics.

Keep it up, and don’t sweat it :). Seeing a lot of impressive looking things so far. Carry on!
