LD29

A slightly late breakfast and some sound tests

I always seem to do this, and that is have my breakfast, lunch and dinner at odd times while making games in 48 hours. It’s from getting too engrossed in fixing bugs or creating assets that time flies by without even realising :)

But the game is going very well I reckon, it just needs to be made very pretty, or as pretty as I can get it. That and try and get some good fitting sounds in the game. While talking sounds I was doing a few tests earlier. Although a trip to a close by river is really required so I can get the desired sounds.

Hopefully the last 13 odd hours will go well!

Taking part once again!

Hello!

 

Looking forward to taking part again this month, got my pork slowly cooking in my slow cooker for a delicious pulled pork fuelled weekend. Along with cookies that I’m currently trying to resist eating (I’ve already eaten one!)

As usual I shall be using Game Maker, Photoshop, Audacity and potentially sfxr if I need any bleeps or bloops, or voices.

I’ll be aiming to participate in the Compo, however if anything goes terribly wrong I’ll have the jam for backup.

 

Good luck all!

Working away and eating too!

Can’t forget breakfast! Especially when I need to be focused :)

Fairly simple marmalade on toast as I get ready for the crazy amount of pulled pork I made last night to last me through the weekend.

The game is underway and I’m getting some of the basic bits of script sorted and then I’ll get onto adding more to it. As per usual I’ll intend on doing the art and sound tomorrow and have the scripting wrapped up by the end of today. Doesn’t always go that well to plan but I’ll see what happens!

Gotta figure out my art style too, would be nice to do something a little different for a change too, shall see what happens!

Lunchtimish and some progress

Everything seems to be going well so far which is nice, got some good progress on the game, few more base mechanics to get sorted but then otherwise it’ll just be adding onto everything.

My little sandwiches contain pulled pork, and I believe I’ve made a little too much of, will show a picture later. Had a few scary moments where it looked like Game Maker was going to crash but luckily enough it was just a scare. Good LD so far!

Taking part once again

doingit

Hadn’t done my taking part post. Here’s my desk it’s a little messy.

Will be using:

Game Maker

sfxr/bfxr

Audacity

XMind

Paint/Photoshop

 

I have a few ideas kicking around at the moment, but nothing I’m solidly happy with yet, just need to flesh them out a tiny more and then my scripting will get underway. It’s mainly a choice of picking which of my ideas approaches the theme in a way I want to deal with it.

LD32

Totally in!

I’m looking forward to Ludum Dare 32 and have been since the date was announced! But then it’s always a great way to spend a weekend. Plus it’s always great as I have naughty food for the weekend to keep me going! Although I will try to be mildly healthy too I swear 😉

I shall be using:

Script/Engine: Game Maker

Art: PhotoShop and Paint

Sfx: Bfxr and my voice/sounds around me

Idea generation: Xmind and chatting with @cptalbertwesker

I will also try my best to not leave audio till last and comment and post more on the blog!

Some progress

Hello!

I’ve badly been neglecting posting, so here is an image!little_monsta copy

My game is going along ok, I’ve just got to make sure to get all my assets finished and all additional scripting complete. Feeling quite positive so far though.

Taking part once again! :D

Hey everyone!

I’ll be taking part in Ludum Dare 35 and can’t wait. Hoping for a theme that’s awesome, but then that’s always what I hope for!

 

I will as per usual be using:

  • Game Maker (perhaps one day I will move over to UE4) using GML
  • Photoshop
  • Audacity
  • Bfxr
  • My voice/sounds around me
  • Xmind
  • The internet

Here’s to an awesome Ludum Dare! This will be my 18th LD and I hope to try and post some photos…or photos of food during the jam. I’ll probably tweet a little more where you can find me @Catmoo
