I’m so pumped about this! I got my drinks, snacks, energy, and I made a NEW website just because of this!

Here is some pictures and links for the oncoming event!

Website: http://ld.hhcraft.info/

Livestream: http://ld.hhcraft.info/livestream/

My sidekicks:
Set of mobile devices to test some games (iOS and Android)
TI-calcs
Snacks
Mini-fridge full of drinks
1 Gun (Just in case of zombies, we wouldn’t want to delay our development just because of zombie apocalypse!)
3 Desktops (1 for development, 2 for testing on)
1 Pug(To keep me company)

The 3 monitors is hooked up to 1 Desktop. I have separate monitors for the other 2 desktops (and separate peripherals)
My mini-fridge is stocked up with Mountain Dew, Pepsi Cherry (I would rather have Coke Cherry) and Rockstars (I would get monster but Rockstar was on sale and I need a lot for LD25)

Software:
Adobe Photoshop
Gamemaker Studio (with HTML5)
FL Studio
Adobe Flash Pro

I made a simple platformer engine with parkour!

Now to build on the engine!

So, Level 1 took a VERY VERY long time. But it was well worth it. Still working on Level 2 and I hope I get all the features done before the deadline. Even better yet, I hope we start on Level 3. Here is some pictures and link to the game

The game is cross-platform! (HTML5)

Eco Terroist

After 3 days of developing (only had 9 hours of sleep). We finished level 1 and started working on level 2 but sadly, level 2 isn’t ready (but we did put in a secret WIP preview in the latest and final LD build).

What I learned from this Jam: I should have just used placeholders for the graphics so I can work on the features more. I just realized that while I was working on level 2

I have A LOT of cans on my desk. Need dem sugar to keep me running. Things really started to heat up

Game: Eco Terrorist

Here is some pretty pictures. I hope it’s not too CRAPPY

A couple of screenshots:

Wellll, technically this is my 2nd time (1st time with a team) but I decided to go solo.

I’m going to try compo and if I see that I don’t have enough time then I’ll be entering Jam.

Awesome tools:
FL Studio – To make awesome music and sfx

GameMaker Studio (with HTML/Android): Awesome developing software for easy multi-platform exports

Photoshop/flash: To make backgrounds and sprites

Pics from LD25:

This has been my 2nd time doing this and my goal this time was finishing 2 games! And I did it! (Except for music)

Check it out!

This is my 4th time doing Ludum dare but this time, I’ll be doing solo for the first time! Already 2 hours in and I already got a great idea!

Instead of diving straight into the game engine. I wanted to experiment and wanted to finish the intro animations first. Took a few hours to brainstorm some ideas and so very, I think everything will be rock solid.

Progress picture time!

LD27 Logo:

note: You should notice the COMPO and JAM fused together in there. That is just in case I go over the 2 day limit.

Intro: scene 1:

note: Got a surprise idea for the game 😉

A good way to make fast 8-bit sounding sfx without  having to mess with those confusing settings from the 8-bit sfx generator. All you need is a mic, a sound software (Audacity, FL Studio, anything that can load a VST plugin), and bitcrusher! (VST plugin).

VST Link: http://freemusicsoftware.org/722

Set bit-depth to 8 bits

Set Downsampling to 10 for best results (You can experiment with it if you want!)

Here is an example of what you can do with it.

What I used this time:
GameMaker Studio (HTML5 + Android modules)
FL Studio
Photoshop

What I learned this time:
I wanted to try something different. So I thought, why not do the graphics first? It was a bad idea because I couldn’t implement all the graphics in at once and ended up with wasted graphics. It really dragged me down with the programming too.

What I will do next time:
Programming is the priority. Going to use placeholders until all the programming is done. I just wanted to try graphics first, it was a disaster. I also wanted to do music but I always don’t have time for that >.<

Results:
IMO I didn’t like how I executed the idea. I want to make a FULL version in the near future that is much better than this version

Just finished porting to HTML5 and Android!
Sorry Apple users! I don’t have a mac to export with. Maybe I’ll get around to install a hackintosh for exporting to iOS and MacOS 😉

Good news everyone! I might be making a full version of the game! But with a better storyline (pfft, what storyline?) and level designs!

I’ll be developing for the PC first. THEN I’ll port over to the web, Android, and OUYA.

IF, only IF I have a good idea for this time. The OUYA will be having a special multiplayer edition if multiplayer would be a good idea for whatever I make this time.

Was playing Amazing Frog for a good amount of time. Now I’m ready for LD27!

Tools:
Game Maker Studio
Photoshop
FL Studio
ASEPRITE
Pug for motivation

I don’t know why I wasted my time just doing graphics. After I do some quick character designs and environment graphics. I’ll be programming quick enough for Compo. I haven’t slept yet!

Into the Couch We Go

Halfway through this LD, I was worried that the game would be a disaster but after I implemented gameplay and better graphics. I got hooked on it trying to beat of my levels to see if it was possible to beat…

Anyways, I PRESENT: Into the Couch We Go

Screenshots:

I’ve been working on music and sfx for the game. Fixing bugs too so it’s more enjoyable. SO far, I made a song for the game “Into the Couch We Go”

I spent around a total of 8 hours on this game. I was wanting to develop but at the same time, I had work. On the last day, I decided to go full steam ahead.

The concept of the game actually have nothing to do with DickButt. I vowed to put DickButt in my next LudumDare game so here we are. A game featuring DickButt. Game: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=18514 Gameplay isn’t the greatest in the world though. but here’s a better game I made which is frustratingly fun! http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=18514. My concept is that an asset in the game isn’t part of the game until it’s on the screen (window of the game).

Animation is a bit crude but I was on a deadline that was going to be reached in 12 hours. I did all my artwork last and my sound event laster.

Here’s the animation from the game. I also separated them so anyone else can use these <3 These dickbutts are dickbuttless because the you have to go get the dick in the game.

Strut dat ass.

What chu looking at?

Not really jumping is he?
