LD31

I’m in!

I saw other people posting these I want in on the fun! This will be my first LD! I’ve been using Unity to make games for fun for about a year and a half but I’ve recently made the switch to UE4. My goal is to become proficient enough with UE4 to make something decent by the time LD rolls around! Wish me luck!

Challenge Accepted!

I was going to use Unity 3D (which I have two years of experience with) but my game is so simple I’m going to try and use Unreal Engine 4 (which I have about two days of experience with). Wish me luck!

Progress Report 1

PR1

I’m 12 hours in and here’s what I have to show for it. I didn’t think the theme was all that great so I picked a simple game and am using this as an excuse to learn UE4! So far I’ve got a dynamic camera and player movement. I could have probably accomplished this in Unity3D in about 45 min, but the dynamic lighting in UE4 is so prettttyyyyy

Progress Update

PR2

Time to start some level design! This will be the first time I’ve created non-procedurally generated content, as well as my first time using UE4 for more than 10 minutes (sadly this is 15 hours work so far).

Really happy that I was able to learn enough UE4 to make this. Now to test the “experimental” HTML5 compiler….

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand it’s done!

Congratulations to everyone who submitted!

Wow, those 48 hours went by fast! This was my first LD and I had a blast. I decided to challenge myself by learning/using Unreal Engine 4 instead of just going back to Unity3D. The game had to be pretty simple as a result but I’m happy with the way things turned out.

Play my game! Leave me anonymous hate mail! Link me your game! It’s been a dev fest and I’m ready for a gamer fest!

Ludum Dare 37

I’m in and looking for a creative partner!

Hey Everyone!

I’ve done the Ludum Dare compo three times before. This time I’d love to try the game jam with someone who’s passionate about art and game design. I’m a programmer/designer and have gotten top 100 fun and top 200 overall in both of the last two Ludum Dares. If you’re interested in working with me, leave a comment! I’m in the PST time zone.

LD 38

I’m in and streaming! :D

I’ll be streaming development for the first time! I’ll be using unity and have about five years of experience in it. My primary focus is programming so watch if you’re interested. My goal for this compo is to break the top 100 overall. https://www.twitch.tv/frenchie144

 

Good luck everyone!

Streaming development of an RTS in Unity3D!

Watch here!

My plan is to make a simple RTS on a small planet. There are two factions that are trying to gain control of the planet. Each faction is made up of a bunch of pawns that are at the mercy of their fearless leaders. There are outposts spread around the planet that they can capture to spawn more pawns. The first faction to capture the planet wins!

Factions has been submitted!

Good luck to everyone else who submitted and to all the jammers who are in the final 24 hours!
