Let’s see if this time everything goes well and I have plenty of time to do a LD (my first one!).
AS3, Photoshop, CFXR, SunVox, a cat sleeping on a chair aside, a -I-hope-busy- girlfriend and who knows what else..
I was thinking of using Flixel or some graphics library, but I think that would limit me a lot. I don’t know what I will do yet, so let’s start from scratch!
Good luck everyone! sleep well!
9:00am here in Spain, I brainstorm my brain to decide what to do. There are a bunch of ideas, but I think I will go for the simplest one: a shoot’em up. I will code everything with rectangles, and later on start with the art.
Lets go!
My game has more maths and tricky stuff than I initially though. I didn’t begin with art, general gameplay or sound.
Accomplished so far:
– actors movement
– basic AI (all these lines)
– gesture capture & optimization
doing everything from scratch is a bit though. Must be faster, faster!!
I think my head will explode, but I finally did it. Of course, it cannot be considered a final game.. the gameplay is poor, a lot of features were not done, the IA needs to be enhanced, and many parameters need to be tweaked.
But I did it! Ludum Dare is not a battle against the other competitors, but against yourself! Man, I feel exhausted..
Btw, my first LD!
PD: I didn’t know we had another additional hour for submitting.. ouch! pff..
I’ve written something -a little postmortem if you like- in my blog about my game: http://feiss.be/blog/post/1355840627
Let’s do this mad thing for a second time. I will not have full weekend, but I’ll try to do my best. It will be a perfect chance to try Phaser and make a HTML5 game.
Sublime Text, JavaScript, Phaser, Photoshop, Texture Packer, cfxf, and who-knows-what for music.
May be the pixel be with you!
I’ve only had some hours, not full time… and this is my current screen:
I have some enemies, life items, moving platforms, and vertical scroll. The problem: this is not enough for a interesting game, and I’m a bit lost, I don’t have a clear goal. :/
I have to say, I’m very impressed with Phaser! :O it has tons of amazing stuff inside! well done Rich!
PD: obviously, all those sprites are placeholders for a ‘proper’ pixel art! 😛
Will I be able to do something in 5 hours? pff.. let’s see..
Photoshop+Phaser
I did it! against all odds, I could finished something in the 6 hours I have to make my game for LD.
Try it, there’s a little surprise at the end 
It’s been some months without coding, I hope I’m still in shape.. Also, I bought a midi keyboard so I will try to come up with some decent original music!
Code/libraries: Html/js game. Phaser, Pixi or Amazing CanvasQuery from amazing rezoner, depending on what I do.
Graphics: photoshop + Grafx2
Music/sounds: bitwig + audacity
good luck everyone! And have some sleep, for Christ’s sake!
Hi guys!
This is my compo entry. I think a postmortem of this will be funny, I’ll try to write it when I have some time.
Early in the process I felt that its mood and feeling would be decisive, so I put my effort into the sfx and graphics, in detriment of better and longer gameplay (I usually do it, my fault :P)
People are leaving wonderful comments, which makes me very very happy! thanks everybody \:D/
Please, be invited to try the game.
Hi everyone!
I just created a Steam Greenlight page for Orion, so people can rate it and talk about it.
This would be of great help if I decide to continue the game. Cheers!
Let’s do some game alchemy!
I’m not in my best shape and feel a bit rusty, but I’ll do my best!
Have a nice LD! and remember to eat and rest properly, little ones 😉
Submitted my game for LD33!
I’m afraid it’s too simple as a game, but I tried to make it funny and with rhythm. Music took me too much time..
Hope you have some fun with it, try it! 
I’ve just uploaded a timelapse of my compo game, Monster Academy. I forgot to press ‘record’ some times.. At the end you can see I was starting a new minigame, but I finally didn’t have time to finish it..
I ranked 13th Overall, 5th in “Fun” and 11th in “Humor” categories! that’s nicee
Overall in all my Ludum Dares I had the luck of being in the top 11 in all categories, apart from Innovation. That’s gonna be my goal in the next LD!
