Um I guess I’m in?

First timer, mostly clueless. Have been learning Unity lately, but feeling a bit blocked on the game I’ve been making. so a change might be good. Got photoshop for pixelly stuff, have installed Inkscape but not done much with it yet. I guess BFXR for quick sound effects, dunno about music.

Failure is just another form of success(?)

So I was hoping that this Ludum Dare would not only be a fun and productive project, but that blasting through a new project might help unblock me on the game I’m already meant to be working on.

So the theme was announced, and I tried to think of an idea, started working on something, scrapped it, spent a while trying to think of something else, pondered that idea a bit, and scrapped it too. Tried and failed to come up with a third idea, but started having ideas for my existing game, and suddenly felt incredibly motivated to get back to work on it.

So yeah, I sadly resign from Ludum Dare, yet even tho I totally failed to make a new game, I succeeded in my other goal :) next time tho, I want to do the dare properly.

So I’ll start this paragraph with the word “So” as well. Good luck finishing up, everyone!

Aaaaah I’m in

WTF I just typed a bunch of stuff here. Anyway after an aborted attempt a couple of years ago, having a second try at my first ever Ludum Dare. 48hrs, Unity, Photoshop.

Bedtime update

I hope you’re as excited about these frickin’ coloured squares as I am. I’ve even started on code that actually displays stuff onscreen, but I’m keeping the results of that under my hat for now. There may be clues tho.

Past the halfway point – Don’t forget to back up!

I just realised I hadn’t backed up at all so I threw it on Dropbox. I’ve just cobbled together a draft of my main tune using Terry Cavanagh’s thing with the funny name, and I’m going to get some sleep now.

Gameplay mechanics are maybe halfway done so might be on schedule if I’m lucky. No screenshots yet as it’s not quite enough to show, will see what I can do tomorrow.
