Here is the timelapse for my entry (“A tale about life, death and a looser”)!

As you will see, there lots of copy paste while painting the assets, just to speedup the process a bit The blond woman is actually the hero slightly modified, so is the boss..etc.

Have fun!

Hi folks! Fourth participation here and I will do my very best to make something nice So much energy down here, on this blog!

Good luck everybody and be the inspiration be with you (>°_°)>

My previous entries : here

EDIT : forgot the usual details on my project!

– code : Flash/Haxe (see: www.haxe.org)
– gfx : Photoshop
– sound : SFXr probably
– code IDE : Flashdevelop
– drugs : nespresso coffee mostly

Woot!

My idea is not clear yet, but I will definitely make something about someone getting trapped in some sort of cave, trying to literally survive down there. This means :

– no enemy,
– no one to help,
– you need to find food, water, a safe place to sleep..etc.
– you may craft a few useful tools for your survival needs.

Actually, you can ONLY jump using UP arrow key, and obey gravity. That’s it!

First step
try it

Just woke up, batteries are full, got coffee. Ready to take on the next part : lightnings!

You can actually move, jump, grab and be a cute puppy right now.

Try it now!

I have a very hard time with the story-telling thing right now, so I guess I really need some sleep T_T

I’m pretty happy with the current result, in term of gfx :

I’m totally exhausted : it’s 4:45am here in France… The game is a little hard (like any hardcore platformer should be, hey!) but I hope it won’t be too disheartening.. The game looks almost like I imagined it, but I regret the audio part: took me too much time and wasn’t especially pleasant.

Have fun!

Play the game

I’m still wandering without a really precise idea of the gameplay. So here is the first (and only) room. Your world.

…But I’m too dumb to look at anything else than the camera.

The inventory is now 75% working, you can pick and manipulate things in the scene, etc. I REALLY underestimated the amount of work needed to work on a SCUMVM-like game… But hell.. It’s really cool too

I added the KEY action in my game: remember. It is used to gather clues about past informations and to… well, I can’t talk about this special thing yet cause it would spoil the game!

Woot!

As usual, I will be using :

• the amazing haxe language (see www.haxe.org)
• Photoshop
• Chronolapse
• LabChirp
• if-I-have-time : SunVox synth
• if-I-have-lotsa-time : Musagi

Trying to make a nice punch anim for my beat-em-up

Try it here : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4952054/ludumdare24/demo02/index.html

Now I can repel ennemies properly, based on their actual weight

Because kicking a kitten in a beat-em-up is fun.

Play the game

What was great:

• I was really happy when the overall combat feeling! Diablo 3 inspired me a lot, they use many great & clever tricks to achieve this feeling.
• the traditional beat-em-up gameplay is faithful to original models
• I made a music Well, I know it sucks and it is really basic, but I made one!
• I was in coding fury on Saturday Lots of work has been done in quite a short time!

What went wrong :

• I couldn’t figure a game idea until Saturday morning, and thus lost lots of time
• I wasn’t really efficient on Sunday : I lost myself in trivial detail, and didn’t work on important parts…
• couldn’t make a decent ending

This leaves lots of room for a post compo version, so maybe I will work on that soon
