Hey everyone, my name is Derek McPherson, I just wanted to announce myself as in for the Game Jam this weekend.

I’ve recently switched interests over from modding and 3D modelling, to c++ and indie game dev. I’ve been using Angel2D and have fallen head over heals for Box2Ds physics. So, I’m going to whip something up to fit the theme of LD29 and share with you all what I make. I know I’ll be sticking to Windows, and I hope to capitalize on the engines built in 360 controller support. I’ll probably be dependant on MSVC runtimes and such too, it’s really my first game jam so I’m just here to get a feel for things, and hopefully finish a game. Best of luck to everyone this weekend!!

Tools

Very happy with the outcome!! My very first game release, Beneath the Sands of Time.

Time was tight and I don’t have any fancy screenshots yet. Just what I consider to be a very fun unique video game. I’ll polish it up and share the finished game here sometime.

Windows only, may need 2012 MSV runtimes installed to play.

Some details. Built in win 7, 64 bit, MSV 2012, Angel2D Game engine & Box2D physics.

Uses X-box 360 controller, recommended but not required.
