My game is actually sort of working! I’ve entered a few Ludum Dares and Mini-LDs in the past, but things never really seemed to work out terribly well for me. I don’t want to jinx myself, but so far, my choice of using Stencyl seems to be working more or less. I’m mainly using it because of its multi-platform support, but that still means that I need to learn it and get used to its idiosyncrasies!

My jumping game is coming along! Yay! Might post something to screenshot saturdays.
I can’t always tell if I just don’t know exactly what I’m doing, but Stencyl seems a little buggy to me. I got my heart animations working, only to find that my collision detection didn’t =/. I thought at first that it had something to do with the fact that I turned on the animation, but finally realized that the hearts’ collision group got turned to default for some reason; and it’s not like I can accidentally change the group — it’s in a totally different window. Weird. Anyway…. animated hearts! Yay
Oh yeah, btw, I’m hanging out with a bunch of peeps at the Oakland M.A.D.E. (Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment) with a bunch of other game jammers and ppl playing a lot of old school games. This place is awesome! If you live in the bay area, you should come check it out!
Hmm, got a glitch that I’m not quite sure how to solve. I know what’s causing it — hearts are getting drawn too often when I only want them to draw when they lock to the grid… but the numbers don’t always match up, so I end up with the opposite problem. Also — potatoes!
I fixed my last bug and got potatoes working! Woo oooo
Sorry for the caps, but seriously, people — if you write a post about your game, it would be GREAT if you provided a link to it so that I can play!
FOR EXAMPLE — a link to my game:

This jam went surprisingly well for me! This is the first time that my project has come together and is actually playable! Yay!

I was reading this post from last year:

So how do things stand now?
Oh, I guess that answers my question. =)

It’s still not a competition, that’s for sure.
For better or worse ones that “win” at this community get more publicity, and publicity is one of currencies of today.
