Arggg

So not a big fan of this theme, it’s pretty open ended, and I much prefer to do Game Jams for the structure that comes out of a theme, boo!

No real ideas yet, had to have a lie in from my work Xmas party last night and the combined 128 hour fortnight I’ve had working, refreshed and sort of awake I hope to get an idea in soon, most of them have been pretty lame so far, perhaps I will get some inspiration after cleaning the house and doing some food shopping, looking very grim for once :(

Some great looking ideas from others though 馃榾

Nap Time!

It’s all quiet for Cptalbertwesker… or it usually is these days, unfortunately I never find the time to write up posts as I’m usually a bit too caught up trying to track down a bug or draw something, or all the things a LD’er has fun doing.

Which is a shame, cause I’ve had some awesome food today! For any of you without eggs in your fridge, I recommend waffles made with bananas instead; they’re super yummy.

Another recommendation, if you like the taste of lentils or peas, and have never tried it, get some Pease Pudding if you can find it anywhere, and have it in a sandwich with some bacon or ham, it’s heavenly!

Enough about food, what about my game!!! Well actually for once it’s all going pretty well, which scares me somewhat, sure there’s a bug that I’m currently choosing to ignore, but I’ll get to it eventually right? Here’s a sneaky peak at my game in progress;

I do usually love to come up with ridiculously unique concepts that don’t really work as a game but take a surprising turn on the theme, this time round it’s not very original, and isn’t a particularly fun game, but it’s cute, and I fell in love with it, though the screenshot makes it look very brown… it does get all bright and colourful, I promise!

Hopefully it doesn’t go belly up after my nap, and things continue as swimmingly as they currently are, I’m signing off for hopefully only a couple of hours, good luck to those still powering through, there’s some terrific looking games in progress, and I can’t wait to play them! I tend to realise I need a bit of a nap when I am half way through doing something and suddenly forget what I’m doing!

Time for some jam!

Well the game jam variety, but in the compo form as usual!

Veteran (but still awful) LD’er I return to make yet another game that isn’t really a game (usually leads to some reviews that don’t understand why I have no ‘real’ gameplay).

Making it with Game Maker Studio, I cannot wait to actually make the assets for this game in GIMP, and all sound effects/music made by my face with Audacity :)

Here’s a sneaky peak, not one of my best WIP imagery, but can you guess what it is yet? 馃槢

Getting better!

I am finding it hard to believe that it is already 6pm! Waay too much time has passed already, but I have now progressed into the realms of drawing!! I’m fairly pleased too! Perhaps this nice asset will give a clearer picture of what I am making (compared to my last image!)

Never did I think I could have fun with such a subject

I woke up pretty late for the jam, at 7am I was trying to come up with ideas for about an hour, when this absolutely inspired idea came to mind, I'm hoping I'm the only one to come up with it, but you never know.

Spent the next hour doing food shopping, but after sitting at my desk for an hour, I have the basis for my game in a very very basic way!!

I'll be making my game, as I always do in Game Maker Studio, this LD I will not let work get in the way of me reviewing games, so I'm not gonna be a horrible person this time round!

Things just got gross

Got back from the gym which really helped to wake me up, put on a big pot of chilli for over the weekend, so now I'm back to jamming, and things have gotten a little bit gross, obviously I'm using placeholder art at the moment, but something about this comb makes me cringe!

Is it obvious what I'm making now? :D

Well this is strange..

I'm done... and it's not 2am, this is such a strange (and good) feeling! A new LD record for myself! What I should do is now start playing games, unfortunately I have so much house work to catch up on they'll have to wait for the moment!

If anyone does want to play my very strange game, have-at Lice Hard!

Featuring many pictures of heads that are a bit too close for comfort!
