Manchester, checking in!

We’re having a proper all-night session for the Ludum Dare, at the very awesome Madlab in Manchester, UK.

The event is SOLD OUT, but there’s a waiting list for tickets in case anyone can’t make it. Go here to get on the list and we’ll let people know if any come up. If this event turns out well (and we think it will!), we’ll do this for every LD48 in the future. We have all sorts of fun stuff happening (pervasive gaming specialists, board game people, and some short crazy jams for people who can’t do the whole weekend) so it should be a whole bunch of fun. We’ll also be livestreaming if we can. We even persuaded Red Bull to send us a massive stack of energy drinks, yay!

Good luck everyone, can’t wait to jam. 😀

So logically I had to make a point-and-click where you play as one, and destroy your owner’s house.

Framework is all done, you can move him around and visit all the rooms in the house. Now to start putting the puzzles in. I think I’m going to set a time limit, so you have to trash the house as much as possible before your owner gets back.

We’re making a game about taking ten second helpings of food. Oh, and you’re a vampire.

Ladies and gentlemen, we humbly present: Vampire The Buffet Slayer.

Awriiiight, I’m in!

You may remember me from such crappy games as Vampire The Buffet Slayer – http://buffetslayer.co.uk/

This time I’m switching away from Flash, instead I’ll be using Haxe/OpenFL . In the name of full disclosure, I’m using a really simple bit of boilerplate that does the boring stuff I always spend time doing at the start of jams: github.com/danhett/jamkit

I’m also running the Manchester Game Jam, so far we have thirty-odd people signed up. Room for more if anyone wants to join us!

Good luck, y’all.

Don’t ask.

Still needs win/loss, and some other stuff. In the meantime, play our creepy abomination here:

My game is a completely hand-drawn platform game that takes place entirely on a piece of paper. This isn't a sketch, this is my live game:

It's almost finished, I'm adding some final obstacles and challenges in now. The music was created using Nanoloop (GBA) and the sound effects on LSDJ (GB). Shame I ran out of time to make those better, but they're okay. Really happy with how it looks, even if the game is pretty straightforward.

Obligatory gif:

Oh, and here's the game if you want a little play around. This version doesn't have enemies or obstacles in it but you get the idea. Desktop browser only.

no robot deserves this.

Yass! My hand-drawn platformer is finished. Managed to add spikes and enemies at the last minute. In case you missed my other post, basically I drew this entire thing out completely by hand, then brought it into Phaser and warped it to fit the image of where I was sat working on the game (game-ception!)

Pretty happy with how this turned out. The game is on the simple side, but the aesthetic turned out well. If you'd like to try it, give it a go here: http://games.danhett.com/paperjam/

Paper Jam is a completely hand-drawn platform game that takes place entirely inside a single piece of paper:

All graphics were created by hand on a physical page. This game was created with Phaser.js and a ton of paper and scribbling. The audio was created using Nanoloop on the GBA (music) and LSDJ on the original Gameboy (sfx). All you gotta do is find and destroy five targets in the levels, and not die. There’s a prize at the end for you.

Game page and links and things are all here, I'd love to know what you think! :)
