First LD! I’ve got moderate to advanced skill in the program i’ll be using (Game maker studio)  I just hope i can make a good art and music style that I and others enjoy in time to submit to Compo. Using Famitracker for music, SFXR for sfx.

Finished a while ago and i can’t wait for voting.

Play my game (Buck Shift)

Thanks, and Hope you all enjoy!

Got my mtn dew stash and my workspace ready! looks like it’s that time of the year again; that magical time when you revoke family and friends for the warm loving confines of sleep deprivation and seemingly impossible deadlines. Christmas? No. LD? Yes.

GML, BFXR, FamiTracker

See you on the other side, my friends

Sweet,sweet success…
I think this is possibly the best game I’ve made… ever…
What started as a stealth game turned into something much better.

If you want, play Yetis and Unicorns here

47 votes already!? thanks for all the awesome feedback guys! maybe this year i’ll actually refine my game after the judging ends and give it a full release!

Play Yetis and Unicorns for yourself!
Thanks, all!

This was my second time doing LD and overall i’m very happy with the result. i think i did much better than last year, but there are still some things that fell short.

First of all was the view. i tried to make it dynamic by having it turn with the player. i liked it but a couple people found it disorientating. Believe it or not that view is about 120 degrees per second shorter than my initial turning speed. I should have added the player’s ability to modify this, but i forgot. second year i’ve wanted to add a feature but forgotten.

Second of all was the core mechanic: warping. some people liked this mechanic, and some never saw it. it makes gameplay much more strategic. i guess i should have either made the “HELP” menu l mandatory, or more visible.
Additionally, Upgrading was under utilized by players. some people didn’t use skill points, or understand them.

Third: BONUS LEVELS. every 3 levels there is a bonus level where you try to protect a baby unicorn. troll-ey music plays in the background as this is just my fun way of breaking up the intense game play. it is almost impossible to keep that baby alive, but if you do, you get an extra life. unfortunately, nobody commented on them, and i am certain nobody survived long enough to see these levels (probably due to the fact they didnt warp or upgrade.

Fourth: more enemies. I would have done this, but the game was originally meant to  be stealth, so halfway through, when my plan changed, i had to completely re-write my enemy AI. this took away the ability to add new enemies in, as i still had to polish up all the rest of the game, and only a half hour to do it.

If you haven’t played it yet, click here, and enjoy Yetis and Unicorns.

if you have, thank you for voting and your comments. they help a lot!
See you next year 😀

Originally, I was planning on adding several enemy types to the game (including Centaurs, and Elves with bows), as well as destructible furniture and chairs and lamps to use as weapons, but it was too many collisions and got cluttered. on top of that, i lost something like 6 hours to visual bug fixes, so they never made it in. What features didn't make it into your game? What are some things youd like to see added to RAGDOLL WARS? please let me know here or in your review of my game :D if you havent played it, please do so here! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/ragdoll-wars remember to leave your games in your review and i'll play them first chance i get!
