Hello all! I’ve been designing games now for almost a year, using the amazing tool known as Stencyl. This will be my first time participating in Ludum Dare (I’m doing the 48h Compo), and I’m really excited.
Here’s what I’ll be using:
Language: haXe
Frameworks/Editor: Stencyl
Graphics: Paint, Gimp, Inkscape
Audio: SFXR, Beepbox
Can’t wait to get started!
I finished up my compo entry last night. Since this is my first Ludum Dare, I overestimated how much I could get done. I didn’t get everything done that I had wanted to, but I’m surprised at how much I did finish.

Well, the 3 week rating period is almost over, and we’ll find out the results pretty soon. Thanks to everyone who rated my game, Snake Rider! If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out here.
Note: Many people have found the controls very slippery. You can play the post-compo version of Snake Rider, with improved physics, over here. In the future, I also hope to add more power-ups and get it up on Newgrounds.
Thanks again to everyone who has played or rated my game. All of your feedback is appreciated!

Here’s my obligatory “I’m in!” post, shortly before this edition starts. This will be my second time participating, after LD31 four months ago. Last time, my results were:
#141 Audio 3.46
#289 Innovation 3.52
#372 Theme 3.74
#395 Fun 3.25
#433 Humor 2.67
#476 Overall 3.27
#503 Mood 2.98
#822 Graphics 2.68
Hopefully, I’ll do even better this time! My main goals are to get top 400 Overall and top 500 in Graphics. I’ll be using the same tools as last time:
Language: haXe
Frameworks/Editor: Stencyl
Graphics: Paint, Inkscape
Audio: SFXR, Beepbox
See y’all when the fun begins!
P.S. My favorite of the themes is Grow, as I get a bunch of great ideas when I think of it. I really hope it wins….
So! This is my second time entering Ludum Dare. Last time, I aimed for top 500 in Overall, and ended up #476. I did pretty well in Audio, capturing #141; on the other hand, Graphics did not fare so well, at #822.
So with that in mind, I decided to set two goals: top 400 overall, and top 500 in Graphics. As a result, I spent a lot of time designing graphics, and less time with everything else. I would have added SFX, more enemies, and some power-ups, but I ended up right at the limit with what I did create. In the future, I’m going to schedule my time, so that I don’t end up with no SFX and less features, like I did this time…
Story:
In the not-so-far-away land of baked goods, a war has arisen. The Toast Kingdom is hogging the Toaster of Life, and the Kingdom of Toaster Tarts is demanding it for themselves! Your mission? Play as the Toaster of Life, and destroy as many Toaster Tarts as you can for the highest score.
Controls:
Mouse to aim
Hold mouse button to load
Release mouse button to fire
R to reload
M to switch to the menu
Any feedback is appreciated. Have fun!

The clock is winding down, but there’s still time to rate a couple more games! How ’bout one of those be mine? It’s too late now for me to play all of your games, so here’s what I’ll do instead: if you rate my game in the next few minutes and leave a comment, I’ll be sure to leave a comment on your game in LD33. Promise!

Got my entry done for the Jam, just in time! I was originally planning to enter the Compo, but the game was not even remotely ready after 48 hours. Next time, I need to use an idea that will only take around eight hours of work to finish, so that I can actually get it done in time.
