LD25

Last minute entrance post

Hi all, this will be my first LD. I have been wanting to enter since I first found out about it (all of a week ago). My discovery of LD happened to line up with me starting to create a final version of my HTML gaming engine. I have been scrambling to try and add features to it, but its still pretty barebones. My planned setup:

 

Engine: Occam (https://github.com/falnos24865/occam)

Editor: Netbeans

Graphics: Possibly Inkscape or PyxelEdit

Networking: If needed, Node.js with socket.io

Sound: If any, just a microphone and my attempts at being a ‘foley artist’

Music: Not likely any

Here is a picture of my setup. Its hard to tell, but on the desk are my main laptop, netbook, iPad, 10″ android tablet and one of the android phones. In the stand on the right is a PS3, Xbox 360 and a Mac Mini. All are meant for cross-browser testing, although its unlikely I will test on anything but the desktops.

Engine working, time to design content

Well we have reached the ‘prototype’ stage. All the main pieces are working:
* Basic resource gaining/spending
* Queueing up of things to build
* Placing monsters
* Hero shows up in dungeon after certain delays
* Hero finds monsters and walks to them
* Hero fights monsters
* Hero’s accuracy improves after each fight
* Hero leaves when nothing left to fight.

Now that this is all there (which is not bad for only about 12 hours worth of work) we will pause and actually flesh our what the content of the game will be (what monsters / traps are in, how final fight will work, etc).

Try it at: http://demo.thephoenixstudio.net:8080/ld25/ Just know that everything is speed up / cheaper for testing (and boneheads still dont work)
