I thought you fine people would like to like to see my progress, so here you go!

After 6.4 hours of work, i have made this madness:

Poorly coded bad guys everywhere!

So far they walk around and do their best not to fall off of things, but it’s not perfect. Also a background is needed but i can do that later.
Thats all for now, see you later!

-Flatgub

So I was working on the line of sight system, when this happened

I don’t even know

From what i can tell they’ve turned into one of the tiles from the tileset…

I’m not sure how that even happened, but now i’ve gotta fix it =P

Until next time!

EDIT: Somehow it was caused by accidentally putting a ‘;’ instead of ‘&&’

-Flatgub

my current expression

Welp

Turns out, the bug I just spent around 1 hour trying to fix was caused by me not adding ‘else {alarm[0] = 15}’ to the piece of code I checked the most for typo’s =P

Back to work I Go!

I’ll post some more actualy content soon ^-^

-Flatgub

…

In a world…

Where Potted Plants are larger than people and filing cabinets …

Flatgub regrets the decision to use 8×8 as her sprite size…

-Flatgub

I present to you all…

LASERS, ACID AND SPIKES

All we need now is sharks with laserbeams for eyes

I thought seeming that i wasn’t getting that much done i might as well put the easy stuff in now

Next on the list: Ammo Limiting (1 bullet)

-Flatgub

We now have placeholder hud!

I’m not sure how guns are supposed to work ;~;

Next on the list: Sounds

-Flatgub

I just thought i should show you my little turrets in action ^-^

Aren’t they just the cutest thing you ever saw! =3

Firing 6 round a second, you don’t wanna be in front of these things!

anyway, back to Office stage 3 i go!

-Flatgub

Here’s stage 3 of the office area, i might just pump out the other seven, then move onto the factory area before posting again

So many turrets…

Unless something cool happens, see you in 1-2 hours

-Flatgub

Well, i’ve reallised that i’m so tired i’m not getting anything done, so i may as well be asleep

But, before i go, Try out this prototype demo thing and tell me what you think!

it only has 6 levels, no music and i just whacked the menu together now.

I hope you have fun with it ^-^

Bye!

-Flatgub

I’m out of time, so i’ve just rounded off the sharp edges and ran through it quickly.

You can play it here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=27519

I will continue the project after the jam with someone else, so anyone interested in this don’t worry, development will continue!

anyway. I hope you all enjoy the rest of Ludum dare, Good luck, and have fun!

-Flatgub ^-^

I’m Pumped!

As per usual i will be using:

GM8

Aseprite

Tiled (Maybe)

SFXR

AutoTracker-bu

GoTile

I will be using Brod’s Platform Engine and will also be testing my new menu system called the “Flatgub Menu System” (i know, i’m so creative ^o^)

anyway, see you guys again once i’ve got something to show!

-Flatgub

Yeah!
Beneath the Surface, eh? I should be able to think of something…
My tools are:

GameMaker Studio
Aseprite
Sfxr/Bfxr
GoTile
Pyxel Edit
Abundant Music (MAYBE)
Hexels (MAYBE)

I’m super excited but also super sleepy!
yeah!
Flatgub~

I’M STILL WORKING HARD, DON’T WORRY!
I’m just soo busy i can’t really make that many posts…
Just making this to say i’m not using abundant music, but instead FL Studio for my Musics!
Now that i think about it using abundant music was probably against the rules in the first place…
-Flatgub~

Whoo!
I’m finished!
This is the longest amount of time i’ve ever put into an LD (2 sleepless nights instead of 1) and i think it payed off! This is also the first LD where i could do everything exactly the way i wanted it, no cutting short due to time or complexity!

So, i am now pleased to present to you…
*Drumroll*
SHADOW GEMS (last minute name >_<)
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=27519
