Have a great time, and make sure to choose something really small to make. Then scale it down. Then you’ll end up making something half that size. :)

I’ve done 5 ludum dares so far. Not a lot but enough to have some stat points in “intelligence” hehe. My advice to you: Keep it small, don’t hesitate to scrap everything and use something you are familiar with (if you know GameMaker, stick with it). Also, sleep enough. 48H is a lot, don’t worry about time, you’ll benefit greatly from sleeping enough! Good luck to you, Tweet me @Phylhip if you need help :) .

My progress – Triplets Team

Triplets Team

 

This is the presentation of my game, the name is Triplets Team and is about one object that can change its shape to achieve several objectives.

Right now im about to start the design of the graphic interface and the other elements of the game, i will be using photoshop for this. Also im about to finish the GDD (Game Design Document) to have a clear perspective about what i want to make. I need to start to find the sound for the game. After that i will put all together in Gamemaker 😉 …

Any advice or coment about what you see?

Good Progress!!!

In this image you can see all the elements of the game, also y create the sound and the music (i have to add that the music i created for the room is pretty awful but i enjoy itt lol)  for the game.

The day tomorrow , or at least when I wake up I ‘m joining the graphics and sound with functionality.

New advance!!!

Well guys, i was not able to finish the game for the compo, but i’m still developing the game to deliver it in the Jam 😉

This is my progress so far, 2 levels with all the mechanicall, i’m gonna make another level but with more items and difficulty for the player, I will also redesign the level 2 to add some objects.

 

Level 1

lvl1

 

Level 2

lvl2

 

What do you guys think? It is a simple game about moving a square through a dungeon but you also can change of shape into other geometric figures.

It’s Up
