I’m going to making a platformer showing the progression of the human race. you start out as a nothing, and work you way up to a . . .

Even with such a flexible and amazing theme as ‘You Are The Villian’ I can’t come up with a conept!

As I get my work station prepared with

[*]Water

[*]Snacks

[*] Favorite show on netflix going

Lets get this started!

More then an hour after it starts, and I just barely got my concept out.

With about, 20+ minutes on open office’s draw, here’s what I was able to show.

I am really gonna need to work through the night relentless  and stop skyping so much if I hope to meet the deadline >.<

Black = Slenderman

Once slenderman is under a tree, it becomes only half visible in order to continue to see slenderman

Everones making so much progress, and me, so little, people need to stop skyping me, or this timelapse will be more skype then game design. Anyways I’m struggling, trying to get trees to spawn randomly, which is why there’s such a  lack of trees in this screenshot.

After 4 hours of working on map generation, I just plain give up.

After some meditating on the idea, I’ve derided to just make the maps, and fuck random map generation. I’m certainly not hoping to win, just place.

Been fun working on this game today, a little stressful, seeing I got some real competition, but I don’t expect to win, I only wanna place. >.> So, here we are, 10 hours of work, with mltiple engine changes, and I present to you, screen shot 3

.

Just woke up, 7 hours latyer,m and 17 hours into the competition, meaning I got 8 hours to get the mechanics done, I’m ready for a long day of work.

This is all I got to do in the next 8 hours to have all the mechanics done before the first 24 hours.

Closer then I thought!

Write Game Info:
Fence Area:
Map area out (trees):
Make children run away from slenderman:
Score System:
Slenderman gets faster as you kill children:

It went from 12+ to 4, pretty simple ones.

Write Game Info:
Map area out (trees):
Fence Area:
Game over and highscore screen:

So ready for a next screenshot soon!

I’m making good progress, so Imma allow myself to eat today

We’re aproaching  the end of day one, and I’ve only posted 3 screenshots, so here’s 2 more, the main menu, and the control menu!

Controls

Plus, the old slender man circle has been changed into another sprite  along with the children, who will soon be changed.

I’m done! I’m actually done! Here soon, once my game is converted to html5, I shall post it!

Time Lapse

I loved this competition so much! And felt I did good just accomplishing my goal in 48 hours, but, based on the comments, I learned, if you have even the slightest feeling a link is broken for everyone, and not just you, DO NOT POST IT, PERIOD. The comments on my game were lit up with ” Disappointing the html5 version doesn’t work” And honestly, I don’t know why! However, next Ludum Dare, I got studio (game maker) And can now make 100% sure the html5 will work.

Going to timelapse my creation for this comp, like I did the last.

Tools:

Engine: Game maker

Sprites: Game maker

SFX :Srfx (I think it’s called) and Audacity.

And yeah, that’s about it, considering I have no music creations skills. >.>

I know it’s never happened before,  but no theme has received this much hate before, infact, I don’t remember any theme receiving any hate.

I can’t think of any idea. The only idea I did think of involved a maze, and enemies, and invertion, and, oh my, I’m a mess.
