Then I tried it with 2000 unit’s 1000 a side and it kind of went a bit slow, turn based strategy anyone! ;o)
But did uncover the fact the the unit’s are extremely dense, but then I made them!
Anyway need to add a carrier or three and some LC’s to ferry them to the beach!
3:26.10 – hmm might need lots more coffee!
Well the blue army is ready to deploy...
Only due to cutbacks and time management issues the landing craft will not be available in time, just as well as the red army are on holiday…
So no war today, still there is always tomorrow!
Yeah, LD 17 going to go retro and flash based development with either Flixel or Flashpunk, just started learning them but aim to have the basics ready for this weekend!
How have I got enough good tunes, pizza, curry to last a weekend?
If you know of any great resources for Flash game development let me know!
Well my entry would have been…
Energy Islands: Conquest
Green dot is your Marine Commando fresh from his drop pod!
In the not too distant future…
The droids and computers have rebelled and taken over our energy islands, it’s your job to get them back…
You have an aging carrier and a bank of cloned marine commandos!
What are you waiting for GO!
Note seems really slow/unplayable in IE, but works fine in Chrome and Firefox!
If I had managed to get the droid army to work right or just dropped them I might have made it under the wire!
Working Features..
Not working features..
Keys ASWD – Space – LMB ;o)
Developed in Flash using the Flixel framework!
Uploading timelapse!
Timelapse – >48hr Time-Lapse
Going for the October Challenge with a Million Dollar game, just need the one sale an I could win! ;o)

I’m going to take a break from my current 50:50 donationware project Cure ‘Em Up! (links to 8bit funding page) and see if I can throw together a quick game/prototype for LD20…
Tools: Unity, Blender, Gimp, Xara…
Now I must get back the developing a Nanosub Heads Up Display…
OK I have a game concept, with an idea for the styling, first things first though breakfast!
Very first build steps with Unity…
The Island emerges from the sea
Will update as I progress, hmmm movement next perhaps?
There be strange red towers on that there island…
And even strange effects in the water from your lamplight!
Note: Overwriting previous projects so only the latest post is relevant.

It be Dangerous to go Alone! …
What be that thing on the rock…

I wonder if there is any link to the red lightning that destroyed our ship lad…
It be Dangerous to go Alone! …
What be that thing on the rock…
Hmm could just be just the thing to get our own back me thinks! ;0)

It may be dangerous to go alone!
What be that thing on the rock…
Hmm could just be just the thing to get our own back, me thinks!
Maybe if I were to pick it up and press leftly thus it would be thrown and thence thrown if I were to press again would return such are the ways of enchanted things.
They be no use for carpentry though…
That’s it for day one, sleep needed!
Take This!
There be strange glowing red towers on that there island…Hmm and it were red lightning that destroyed our ship lad…
Be careful lad it may be dangerous to go alone!

Are you all right lad you still look a bit shakey!
Well day two and I have just spent most of it playing with the graphics/effects and tweeking things… Well off to lunch and then how about some gameplay!
A quick postmortem of my LD20 experience…
Woke up read winning entry and then turned over to dream a game, got up a bit later with a fully formed game design buzzing in my head!
First play with Unitys Terrain tools had an island rising from the sea, but made the first mistake of using Unity textures to paint the island and skybox!
But a static view of an island with nice water and skybox does not make a game. Dropped in the FPS controller and he presto running around on the island.
(2 hours)
Oops the player can’t climb steep slopes, spend time trying to make the slopes shallower and test/repeat…
Some time later.. ! Change settings for max slope in controller!
(1 hour)
Towers: using default cubes and physics build a tower! Find a cool diamond material (oops!) and prefab it.
Position towers…
(3 hours)
Build weapon and plinth in blender…. drop into Unity.
(1.5 hours)
Picking up and Throwing the weapon to destroy the towers…
(4.5 hours)
Boomerang weapon return after throw.
(1.5 hours)
Day one over…
Day Two…
Played around with the graphic effects to give the impression of fatigue and near collapse for player.
Getting the towers to fight back fireballs were needed.
Spent a good deal of time tweaking the basic gameplay and had a lull, this seams to be a recurring problem in LD’s by day two I’m tired and tend to make less progress.
Got back too it and pulled together an intro scene and then released it as a Jam…
I should have avoided using Unity textures and prefabs (palm trees) to make a true LD entry!
Definitly should have done a warm up game/project to get the feel of starting from scratch again!
No Music/Sfx – Need to work on music/sfx creation from scratch!
No Player death/health
No Win State
No Levels
No Variety
Had great fun and I think ‘From the wreck of HMS Lightning’ is very atmospheric but lacking in depth!
Finally got round to doing a video of the game hope you like it and if you want to try it you can play it here
