So I decided that my game would be a, Nuclear Power Plant Management Simulator.

Where you manage a Nuclear Power Plant without starving and keeping the place intact.

Tell me what you think about my terrible idea.

Added visuals like flashing lights and stuff

I got it posted yesterday but was to tired to make an update. So here it is.

Hope you enjoy it.

Ludum Dare 37

Ludum Dare 37 was my third ludum dare so far, and the first time I tried to familiarize my self with the community. In my opinion out of the dares that I have done, I have enjoyed this one the most.

Day 1: When ludum dare started with the theme of “One Room”, I was a bit skeptic at first, but I was able to get the base mechanics done before I went to bed.  like this ludum dare would be the best one I would have.

Day 2: Most of this day was adding the lose condition and how I would convey the instructions and story to the player. I decided to just give them a .pdf file that comes with the game to educate them on how the game would work. I ran into a lot of problems that day but I was able to make it so you had more buttons to press, telling them whats wrong by using flashing lights and text to move across the screen and I made a cutscene for the game when the timer ran out. At this point the game was done. I posted it later that day. The part about it was that I was shooting for the 72 hour version but I was able to make it to the 48 hrs. But I signed my game in as a jam game so if I wanted to update my game in the next 24 hrs. I was able to do so and if I messed up on the game to the point that it was irreversible I still had the 1st version that I had already posted. This gave me the ability to experiment with my game and do whatever I wanted with the game

.

Day 3: Since I had a finished product. i could begin to build on it.  I ended up not having much time that day but I was able to add music and more situations for the player to go through.

What went right :

• Got the base mechanics done from the start
• Ended up with something that I really enjoy
• Was able to get it done sooner than expected
• Got my first game with my own music in it :)*
• I was able to be organized and get things done.
• I had more interaction with the community

What went wrong :

• Didn’t have as much player interaction with as much as I wanted.
• Some of the art was kind of sloppy.

It, was hard to find stuff that I personally found “wrong”, but I am sure there are some things that are defined as “wrong”,  with my game that I can’t see but I would appreciate the criticism to help me improve my game.

Overall, I learned a lot about the community of the game industry and about the creation of games. More than any other ludum dare, I have participated in. I am planning on improving on this game in the near future. In fact I am working on an update for it right now. From this experience I have enjoyed it so much more than the previous dares. The last two dares I participated in were filled with stress and fear of not meeting the deadline without sacrificing a mechanic or something that would make the game really special. This one was different. I was able to get most of the stuff I wanted done, done without the fear of the deadline. This might be the only time I don’t have the fear of the deadline on my back. But, I will be back for the next ludum dare, for better or for worse.

See you next year!

My game : NPPTF

*May not be good but music is music.

This game is not mine, but it deserves way more than it is getting.

If you missed the chance to play my game : My Game

This Game Jam has been exciting and the most fun I’ve had making games. I really enjoyed making my game and I am planning to expand on my game in the future, regardless of what the ratings are. Anyway here is my results.

Even though I did not do as good as I thought I would, I still did pretty well and still want to continue working on this game. If I decide to update it  I will be on here to let everyone know.

See ya!

For the past couple of days I have been working on my game that I worked on for ludum dare 37 and I’ve had a lot of progress with it lately. Here is what I did :

Added : Multiple Cutscenes
Added : New Situation : Penguins Conspiring against us
Added : Multiplayer Scoreboard
Added : New Task for “Nuclear Chamber Unstable”
Added : New Background
Fixed : When You pressed a button and then pressed space it pressed that button again
Fixed : The score was set from the game before.

I’d like to continue working on this in the future so if possible, I would appreciate the feedback.
