Hi! This is my second jam and  my first participation in LD!

My tools:
– Engine: Unity
– 3D Art: Blender, Sketchup
– 2D Art: Photoshop Elements 8, Gimp, Paint.net
– SFX: Bfxr, audacity
– Music: Finale Notepad 2008, Synthfont

Hi! I’m having a good time here… The core game code and 3d models are almost done. Now I’m doing the 2D graphics… 2h late in my schedule…

Hi! Everything is fine so far! Drawings for the ending scene are done. Few things left for tomorrow: music, sfx and polish some graphics. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Wow! It’s almost done! Now, it’s time to polish the gameplay!

Finally it’s done!

Controls:
Left and Right keys: Move the character.
Up key: Jump
Mouse: Interact with the on-screen buttons

Hi! “Little Sky..” was my second game made in a jam. Also this was my second game made with Unity3D. Let’s see how the things were:

The good things
1) Schedule: For game jams, I spent the first hour thinking about the idea and the scope of the project. Each functionality shouldn’t be longer than 1 hour. The actual game was finished about 6 hours before the deaddline. So, there was a lot of time to polish some parts, but I didn’t it.

The so-so things
1) Story: I liked the story I created, just needed a little more polish in it.
2) Music: the same thing. I did 6 simple musics, but the first was unused. Also I should them to make them loop, but also I didn’t do this.
3) 3D Models and Textures:  I didn’t want to spent a lot of time doing the textures for the scenery, so the final result wasn’t very good.

The bad things
1)2D in Unity: The Unity3D isn’t a very good to create a 2D sidescroller platform from scratch in few hours. It’s better to have some basecode before or use plugin for it, or at least has done something similar before with it. My firsts 2 hours programmings was a waste.. In the end I done a simple and incomplete 2D platform.
2) Gameplay: Because of the first problem, the gameplay was sacrificed.
3) 2D Sprites: this was my first attempt to do an 2D animated character sprite!  I liked the result, but it needed more animations and a better quality.

Conclusion

The overall result was good. For next I will be more prepared! Also is a good to have a basecode before, learn to create and animate a spritesheet to maximize the efficiency.

Download and rate the game here.

See the timelapse and the playthrough.

Thanks and see you next time!

Hello! This is my second ludum dare!
This time I hope to create a good game.

My Tools:

– Engine: Flashpunk or Unity.
– Graphics: Photoshop Elements 10, Blender, Sketchup, GIMP,  GraphicsGale, Pickle.
– Audio: Finale Notepad 2008, Synthfont, BFXR. eSpeak, Audacity.

I’ll be using a base code for a 2D platformer.

The main coding is almost done! I need to polish the variables for a smooth gamplay and start to do the art/music/sfx.. Flashpunk is very good!

current progress

The second part of the game is almost done.  Now the focus is the sprites, tiles,etc…

Hi! I just uploaded the timelapse and playthrough videos! Later I’do the postmortem! Visit the game page!

Hi! This is my third LD and I hope to focus in the gameplay this time. 😀

My Tools:
– Engine: Flashpunk.
– Level Editor: Ogmo.
– Graphics: Photoshop Elements 10, GraphicsGale, PyxelEdit, Blender, Sketchup, GIMP.
– Music/Audio: Finale Notepad 2012, Synthfont, Sekaiju, LMMS, BFXR, Audacity.
– Timelapse: Chronolapse.
– Base code.

Hi! After absent from two LDs, I’m back! 😀
This time I’ll be using a 2D library that I coded months ago for Unity. I plan to release it as open source later. For now check the videos below

My Tools:
– Language/Engine: C# with Unity and my 2D library Video 1, Video 2.
– Graphics: Photoshop Elements 10, GraphicsGale, Blender, Sketchup, GIMP, TexturePacker.
– Music/Audio: Finale Notepad 2012, Synthfont, BFXR, Audacity.
– Timelapse: Chronolapse.
–  Base Code: I’ll post later.

Hello, My updated tools and basecode. For me, the best part of the “i’m in” posts is to discover new tools, frameworks, engines, etc. The more exotic, the better. Also, last Sunday I bought Reaper, a very nice and affordable DAW. With that I’ve eliminated good part of free audio software I used previously (Synthfont, LMMS, Seikaju, etc).

Here my updated tools:

– Language/Engine: C# with Unity and my basecode.
– Graphics: Photoshop Elements 10, GraphicsGale, Spriter, GIMP, TexturePacker, Blender, Sketchup.
– Music/Audio: Reaper, Finale Notepad (I can’t live without scores), BFXR.
– Timelapse: Chronolapse.
– Streaming: OBS, my Twitch channel.

Now it’s time to do the sprites!

The game is almost complete!
