Tags: final, LD #12 - The Tower - 2008

The day before:

The competition have started I was sure that the theme would be evolution, I went to sleep early with a mind full of ideas about the theme, but when I woke up, which was at 6:00 at the morning a surprise striked me ~ oh boy! its “THE TOWER” >_<

So, it began:

I love tower defence games so I have decided to make a tower defence game about a very unique character, Akin, which is a character I made, he came to me in a very strange dream including nika nad well what ever… >_< I made a stuffed doll out of him which you can see in the game and in my journal early photos 😀 I made a doll out of him because everyone said that its not possible… weaklings… anyway his a cool character and he was fiting the game – bringin it abit of originality.

 I was thinking about using him in the game while taking photos of my work space hhh  probably because he took over my keyboard 😛

First thing I’v done was to draw the enemy… then a test map, after doing that I wanted to start abit coding, a problem apeared, Fenix using Bennu (game compiler) didnt want to show me graphics no matter what >_< I strugled with it for an hour and in the end I managed to solve the problem by deleting everything @_@, then I started coding… coding and drawing arrows and then Akin him self and the mouse pointer and in this day I’v managed to make great progress 😀

In order to stay alive and awake I was drinking energy drinks and listening to 1576 heavy trance music… and yep it helped alot! I had to sit and eat with the family and lose another hour and I had to drink some vodka too 😛 well that wasnt a problem hhhh any way…

First day was great!

final day

Was in panic to finish the game… time is short and I have much to draw and code… I’v drew a new background and fixed many isuues with the shooting and the bounchinf fireballs and added 2 more enemys that I was thinking about yesterday…

now grandparents came and again the family sits togever and eats… again drinking vodka while on energy drinks XD ahhhh… what was I  thinking… I was coding from tierdness >_<, firmly and realy fast I’v took a photo of my self with my two trusted axes and photoshoped it… and realy fast put it in the game… damn! my levels aren’t implimented! :O okay… realy realy fast I’v managed to write a spawn algorithm and had to disable a super attack >_< because I had no time to code it… baaa… I didnt have time even to put sounds which I had allready recorded with the music >_<

oh well… the panic was worth it… I was so dead tierd I had to go to sleep… and I was so willing to sleep that I couldnt fell a sleep >_<

11 min left

I could berly upload the game in time thanks to Ghotistix that helped me upload it 😛 he came just in time hearing my prays for help XD then in 3-5 min I had a post with a screenshot taken realy fast and some text that was writen so fast that It still has mistakes XD oh well hhhh

any way thanks for reading this and playing my game wish you to have fun and I’m thinking og improving it because I realy like this game 😀
