After the first 2.5 hours of the compo, I’ve already made some progress! 😀

:O

I added shops and stuff… AND EPIC ZOMBIE SOUNDS! XD

I managed to play videogames and make a videogame this weekend! I put about 12 hours into making “Rocky,” because I underestimated myself. Then I ended up not finishing until the last minute because I was doing other stuff. 😛

This is my second LD, unfortunately, I was sick in during my first one, so I didn’t get much done. Anywho, I’ve been looking forward to this since the end of the last LD! 😀

I’ll be using:

Python

Pygame

MS Paint (ew)

Possibly GIMP depending on the theme.

SFXR

And whatever stuff I can find to do Foley! XD

After almost 2 and a half hours, I’ve made a TON of progress! 😀

My game is going to be a bullet hell where you collect ancient artifacts that give you special powers.

I’ve already added the main movement, physics, dashing, sprite animation, and lots of other stuff(such as stamina)! I’m hoping that I’ll be able to add a ton of content to this game considering how fast it’s going. This is going so much better than the last LD(I was sick then.)!

Anyway, here is an image:

I’m going to bed now! Have fun making games! 😀

I added a second level, bullets, and a feather that can boost your speed!

I had some audio glitches though.

I’ve only worked on it for 6 hours. XD

Since this is a bullet hell… I had to make it REALLY HARD! 😀

It also makes the player feel really awesome.

I added 2 artifacts with their own powers:

-Feather(NEW): Speed boost that uses stamina

-Tooth(NEW): Charges stamina 61.5% higher than normal, but halts movement

There are currently 3 things that can kill you:

-Bombs: Fall from the ceiling in all levels

-Bullets: Shoot from the side in levels 2-3

-Shurikens(NEW): Shurikens come from bottom and will chase you.

In this video, I cheated and skipped the first 2 levels, but I kept dying on the 3rd because I haven’t practiced. XD

I was going to make a 3rd artifact, but I decided to leave that until Post-LD and just make 3 levels for the LD.

(yes, 3 is enough levels)

All I have left is the title screen, a few sound effects, visual effects, and music. 😀

I finished my entry: Artifact Hunter!

I really want to see if anyone can even beat it. The game is really hard.

Comment what happens when you beat the 3rd level(as proof) if you beat it! 😀

Enjoy!

Ludum Dare 36

I’ve been getting a lot of people that like my LD entry. 😀

But after tons of people playing it, ZERO people have beaten the 3rd level(I haven’t either)! If you are looking for a challenge please check out my game. 😀

Make sure you comment which level you got to and with how many points!

Ludum Dare 36

Here is a random video of me getting fairly far in it:

So… After 2 days and no purchases, even with a 70% off sale, I decided to make the game free for a week. 😀

Hopefully that will help me get more money later. Because I’m nowhere near my $48 goal for the October Challenge.

Please leave a comment though. Because I haven’t had any feedback yet. D:

Just scroll down a few posts to see some GIFs of the game, because there has only been 1 post in the last 30 hours or something.

Artifact Hunter is 70% off right now($0.89)! 😀

Artifact Hunter is a bullet hell(but not a shmup) made for Ludum Dare 36 and continued for the October Challenge. You collect artifacts that give you various powers(such as slowing down time or teleportation). You must use artifacts to dodge various types of hazards(you will come across new ones too) while collecting blue orbs to complete the level.

Please note that there are “checkpoints” every 3 levels that you can go to from the title screen.

If you do try the game, make sure you give me some feedback.

Enjoy!

I’m ready for the Ludum Dare! 😀

Not only did I restart when there were 29 hours left, but I also just went and learned Java for no reason. ._.

Sidenote: When I learned Java, I compared a script for Python and Java that did the exact same thing and the script for Java was well over 2 times longer. XD

Here is a pic of my progress:

I was up till about 2-something AM waiting for results. I was probably one of the first people to see the results. 😛

I think I did okay. I got above average in every category. xD

Made it into the top 100 for Innovation though.

The theme was one of the three I really didn’t want. (Five Minutes, One Room, and Simplicity) I also restarted with only 29 hours left.

I think that my biggest mistake was making a game that takes more than 2 minutes to play. :/ Next time, I’ll make an in-game tutorial. In my first LD, I got 17 fake ratings on my game. (17 less downloads than ratings) This time I timed when I rated games to avoid that, and it worked! 😀 I’m really looking forward to the next LD. Hopefully it’ll have a decent theme and I won’t have to restart. 😛

I'm in for my 4th Ludum Dare! :D

I'm testing out an art style to see if I'll be able to stay consistent with it. :P

This is the first time I've used any screen shaking. :smile:

Check out this gif!

I found a weird function that makes pixel art not look like pixel art and I was messing around with it.

Well this is turning out interesting! ^_^

I got 2 levels done along with most of the game. Tomorrow I plan to do polishing and add more levels. :smile:

It's kind of like one of those ice puzzle things.
