My 3rd full LD (4 mini LDs) and first attempt at the Comp.
Using:
Dev (one of) - Flash CS6 (Someone has to) with Greensock tweening library - HaxeFlixel - Just maybe Phaser for the first time
Graphics - Photoshop - Maybe Pixaki (on iPad) - Maybe a Camera - Maybe Flash CS6
Text Editor - Sublime Text 2
Sound - Audacity -BFXR or Chiptone and/or a janky microphone
Timelapse - InstantShot! (OS X)
Hosting on my itch.io account - https://flipsy.itch.io
So I have an idea and am busy beavering away. A bit sad I can't post photos / screenshots here :(
The basic idea is a quirky world builder / planet tamagotchi thing where you build / look after a little world. The current idea is to have the following parts:
I can add (or more likely drop) parts depending on progress and then expand afterwards if I want.
I have also decided to probably do the Jam instead of compo, so my family can help with graphics and stories and things. Yay!
Prototype of Intro is done, now working on prototype of 'Choose a world'. Timelapse recording my LD for the first time as well which is fun. Will need to put my head down now.

My prototype is more or less complete now, so it's time for a victory dance. Then more sound, plot and polish.
All done! First time doing compo instead of Jam.

Anyone got some old school arcade style pixel art goodness for me to play? Closest thing I've found so far would be supernova, which I thought was very cool https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/supernova.
Do you enjoy watching people churn butter by hand or hammer out horse shoes? Then you'll love watching me make my My Very Own World in Flash.
But first Play It so as not to ruin the lovely story. I promise it's SHORT, FUN, and EASY TO PLAY.

Probably using - Flash / Adobe Animate maybe HaXe - BFXR - Audacity - Maybe LMMS
Thinking of doing something narrative again. Hoping Round 3 themes are better than Round 2 ones. Getting exciiiiited! Have fun everyone.
Your self-driving personal habitat ends up in a bad galaxy after a freak magnetic storm. Cruise around on your hoverpod collecting crystals to power your habitat and escape to the next planet before the highly volatile one your on explodes or your habitat runs out of power. Or something like that.
Lets' try that again.
A bit slow for my liking, but some progress. Decided to go with Haxe Flixel in the end. Off to bed soon.
This little guy was firing from the wrong cylinders. I'm sorting out little details and bugs then on to making levels after dinner (fingers crossed). Hope your games are coming along OK out there. I've been fighting my tools much more this time than last, but I'm getting there.
When almost all you've got to do is see if the last level is actually playable (and maybe bother with an end screen if it is).
Jam done: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/cryozia
I'll see if I have an appetite for any changes in the morning. Goodnight everyone and good luck!
I've finally published the post jam version of my LD35 entry Flipsy Shapes. It's available now for free (and ad free) for iPhone and iPad. Flipsy Shapes is a light arcade-style shape matching game about anxiety. It Contains 10 diverse levels of manic shape matching madness. Android and web versions coming soon. Enjoy.
I'm back for the first time since LD39. My last two entries were compo but this time I'm going to Jam again just like my first LD with my Wife and Son.
Tools: - Code: probably Pixi.js (never used it before) but maybe Flash (will never die!) or Haxe Flixel depends on the game - IDE: VSCode - Art: Procreate on an iPad Pro + other stuff maybe - Sound: BFXR - Whatever else takes our fancy
I have to work Monday :( so I'll see what we can do in two days. I was a bit disappointed with my last entry but elated with my Top 100 entry in LD38 which I produced in basically two days of 9am - 6pm.
Plan - Take it easy - Take breaks and go for walks - Eat healthy - Get a full nights sleep
Good luck everyone. Have fun and take care of yourself.
