LD27

Base code usage

 

You can find my base code on github:

http://www.github.com/g–o/LudumDare

Feel free to learn, do not copy.

It’s my first time joining the solo comp, But yup P:

Gonna use C++ and DirectX for this entry (Using Visual C++ Express 2010 ) with some base code I’ve written.

Probably use GIMP for my shitty graphics

first time trying to make 2d graphics, learned a techinque or two but don’t know if I’d manage to execute them.

I hope something good will get out of it because I’d have to front my lazyness and exceptional skills of making bugs and shitty graphics…

IN SHORT: Wish me luck 😛

Happy LudumDare 27 :)

 

OK after a nap

man I had a good sleep.

I woke just to see the theme and then in 10 secs slept again lol.

Hope to get things started up, wrote some general ideas in a sun-gram lol

Probably gonna be my first entry and very bad so hope to accomplish something.

And here we go!

First pixel art I ever made , more like pixle-shit

logo

Lol this thing is so akward 😀

OK I know I’m suppose to publish progress but all I have to show for now is some shitty first logo I’ve ever made.

 

Also tired as hell.

Next time I gotta be more prepared P:

 

 

DAMN YOU PIXELS!

Alright,so after LOTS and LOTS of hand-by dithering and effort, I present to you my shitty sky:

Sky

Damn you pixel art !

At least I’m getting better at it from time to time.

Keep on progressing with sound

Alright so don’t know why I really wanted to start with the art so I already recorded with a bad quality mic some

track that will accompany you for the game.

The instrument I used is just an old Yamaha keyboard I have, and the music itself also not super original but nor well played

but well, at least it’s original :D!

Starting to code some classes : )

Dying to sleep, tired of bugs

Dying to sleep, and instead encouncter tons of nonsense bugs T_T

 

Finally some progress!

Snapshot

Finally I have the main screen standing and the system is kind of ready. (NOT GONNA SHOW U THE MUSIC YET 😀 )

Took me WAY too long time, but man I’m so tired sometimes even write with closed eyes just to rest some.

Tonight I’m gonna sleep way more good.

Yesterday I was trying to finish something before the comp starts like a maniac and wasn’t even sure I’m gonna join the comp.

Next time I’ll be more decidive and prepared.

Day one finally getting some sleep

Wow, my first LD entry, as expected , pretty weak so far due to the fact that I wasn’t sure I’m joining till the last day so I wasn’t prepared pretty well and the base code I wrote started magically to get buggy under certain wierd circumstences

(probably connected to the file types and size ratio of textures directx sprites support, though I have no time to fix it).

So today I managed for the first time to seriously focus and try making some art.

Some of the elements in my work I liked but most of it I didn’t really liked, it’s fine , pretty average almost awfull but it’s my first time doing pixel art, so yeah P:!

 

Humm made simple game classes and recorded music.

For now, my environment is ready (a basic city, sky,two tracks of music)

Tommorow I’ll be working on the dialoug system and the level (finally!).

But now… IM GONNA CATCH SOME FUCKING GOOD SLEEP!

SEE U , GOOD LUCK!

 

Hi, meet Jhon

He will be the hero of my game:

I don’t want to show you more than that for now cause you need to play the game and feel the whole environment :)

Starting programming levels and stuff, maybe I’ll try to pixel art a substation. (Warning – might make you vomit 😛 )

OK so here’s Jhon :

 

Jhon

 

 

Everybody already finished and I do gameplay and levels T_T

Wow, my progress is pretty slow and sucks hopefully something will get out of it.

Nah, don’t worry – most people haven’t finished yet. I’m still doing gameplay too right now!

Alright so that’s it!

 

Humm this was a lot of fun !!!

Hmm not sure if the game is really done, and the saddest thing is that after I finally finished the tasking system time ran out and I couldn’t make much levels or fix bugs.. :( Maybe I’ll improve it as a warm up for next year 😛

Also sad: so many little details that I worked on I didn’t really bold and it feels like wasted T_T should’ve done those things bigger or something T_T.

Well, with that said I sent the game pretty buggy and short but I hope you’ll like it anyway for its’ wierd mood, plot and environment.

Made with love 😀

I think I’m gonna do this again, maybe next year with a friend or something P:.

Next time I’ll try to do things faster and not so confidently slow :P…

Thanks for everyone who liked my stuff and my horrible self-jokes on my pixel-art skills and other horrible posts 😀

Was truely fun :-)

BTW:

You fucking talented ppl I saw some amazing games!

Have a happy LudumDare 27 :)!

See u next year !

God I can’t wait for the results!

I know I don’t have a chance for winnning but it’s so exciting to see the most ranked game and of course to see the votes on my game :D

(which I’m cuirious to see cause it is horribly short and a bit buggy though very moody)

 

So, yup this ludum dare was my first and it was a total fun! I didn’t know I have enough motivation to actually go and make pixel-art and somehow come up with a medly and it was just fun!

I used C++ and DirectX 9 ,so XP users can play.

I look forward to see everyone next comp.

Screenshot:

Substation :D

and everything started from this XD

 

WAS LOTS OF FUN!

HAPPY LUDUM DARE 27!!!

G_O :D

God T_T

I got a lot of good comments about mood and audio but ppl gave me approx 2.5 stars I don’t get it T_T

how 2 stars matches a comment that says “amazing audio” ? T_T

I thought about three stars T_T

Aw man, forget about the ratings. They are never fair in any way, there are far too many games for people to judge, much depends on the “mood” and personal preferences of people who happen to find your game among all the others, so you should take it lightly… :)

LD30

I’m in

This is my second ludum dare ^^
OK I guess I’ll use again my directx basic framwork which I can share [it’s pretty basic]:

https://github.com/g–o/LudumDare

 

All code I’ll use will be here: https://github.com/g–o/LudumDare

For sound:

I’m gonna record with my new keyboard P: and maybe some guitar!

 

For art:

Gonna use the gfxTablet application for my tablet in case I’d have to draw some art

Or gonna do some pixel art.

 

I think it’s gonna be fun [My first ludum dare was the #27, it’s good to be back]!

Happy Ludum Dare 30!

Not so easy…

So I’ve never spent so much time thinking about what to do

I had a hard time starting hope to catch up.

Slept 4 hours, and rest of the time thought about what to do. Only now finished one screen. [art]

Gonna work on some music maybe it’ll inspire me…

Doing some music

Never had so much fun with arppegios P:

Drawing the hero

Drawing our hero while listening to Foo Fighter’s “Hero” ^^

Day one

OK last time I wasn’ THAT bad;

Today I mainly delt with how the game’s gonna be cause I had trouble with the ideas

I actually got many ideas but I had a hard time getting my head around making a simple game with this theme

rather than portal or something.

I actually ended up doing something pretty similar to what I did last time but – fear not my friends

because bunch of surprises are gonna be in this game [the introduction sure have one; but I won’t let u see 😛 ]
