Base code

Well if I understand the rules correctly, I need to publicly release my base code, so here is my GitHub repo. This will also be the repository I will upload my changes to as the compo progresses so if anyone’s interested, feel free to take a peek.

Kinda progress

Kinda slow progress, but, hey, still got 1 day and 18 hours and I’m listening to Metallica.

Made a logo!

Kinda of a bad name but meh…

Surely the theme voting will have started by now?…

With 6 days until compo, when does the theme voting begin?

You just missed the Theme Slaughter and the individual theme voting rounds will start any minute now

Hm, thought I remembered it starting earlier last year… Thanks.

We prepared the final theme list last night (Friday). The voting should begin today, whenever PoV wakes up and presses the buttons. I dare not press them myself.

I tried animation…

I really can’t animate stuff…

Looks like it’s doing a bloody Irish Jig.

Death animation

Nice gruesome death animation (blood explosion).

Day 1 Timelapse

I’ve completed day 1 and compiled a timelapse video that mostly consists of me procrastinating.

Also, I apologise for the bad quality – my internet is very slow here.

Timelapse!

I’ve compiled a timelapse of me creating my Ludum Dare 31 compo entry, Extraterrestrial Confinement. Hope you like it and sorry about the bad quality.

Animation category?

This is probably not the best place to talk about this sort thing but there we go. I am writing to suggest a new voting category – animation. This idea came about when I designed a pretty good looking enemy but couldn’t animate it for all the bloody tea in China.

What do you think?

It would be nice to have a category for it, but I think a subcategory will fit more, because animations can’t be without graphics. A good animation can’t be nice with poor graphics (I don’t talk about pixel art, but sometimes that’s just a bunch of pixels teleporting).

I would also say that graphics pretty much cover animations already.

Nice ads!

Cover songs?

Does anyone know whether I can cover a song (guitar, drums and possibly bass) and use it as a soundtrack in my compo game? Is this allowed in the rules?

Um… the song is still copyrighted, so you’d need to get in touch with the original songwriter and ask for permission. How about write a quick song yourself?

I think that if you do a cover of a song, you hold the rights.

You can absolutely cover a song without permission. However, if any money is made from the product, royalties have to be paid. You can’t legally change the song without permission though.
