MOAR PROGRESS!

Well… the point of my game is to find a key on one of the random islands, and then unlock an exit that spawns. There’s also water around the island that is meant to kill you, BUUUUTTT the collision detection does NOT want to work well. So I may have to come up with another mechanic :S

Woohoo! Well after many mistakes and brain farts, I managed to pull my self together and actually finish my fist ludum dare *puts on sun glasses* O.o

I was super excited ld24 but it turns out that I’m going on holiday to Greece the day it starts! xD I will however be bringing a crappy net book thing with me, so I may be able to get something done :D.

If I do create a game I shall be using flash with flashpunk or java, paint.NET and maybe graphics gale.

Good luck to everyone! 😀

This is my first October challenge, and the first time I will of monetized a game O.O. I don’t know what I’m making yet, or where I’m gonna’ sell it but I’ll have to think about that pretty soon!

Wish me luck!

Feeling great about what will be my second LD! I’m currently thinking about what type of game I would like to do, but I guess I shouldn’t think about it too much and get attached to an idea, only to find out it doesn’t fit the theme. I was going to do the game with the Moai framework which I was playing around with and from what I can tell, is pretty great. But I’ll probably just stick to what I know and write the game from scratch in java again.

Wish me luck!

Didn’t get an awful lot done today because of the lack of ideas, but I managed to come up with some planetary tower defense thing where you have to use the minimal towers because it subtracts from your score or something like that… All I got done today is the planet tessellation stuff and the basis of the engine. Right now I can swap between planets that look like Earth, Mars, and some blue planet that has a ring. It’s a mix of 2D and 3D at the moment, for instance the player is a sprite where as the planets and coins that you’ll collect are models.

Here’s a screenshot 😀

You can clip through the ring at the moment, I might need to fix that somehow…

Yarp! I’m in! Can’t be bothered to write a ton so…

Engine: Custom or Unity

Language: Java or C#.

IDE: Eclipse or MonoDevelop.

3D modeling (if 3D game): Lightwave, Blender.

Art: Paint.NET, Photoshop, maybe taking pictures of things.

Sound/Music: Mic, sfxr, FL Studio, Audacity.

Good luck!

Yeah, so Saints Row IV happened and it took me waaayy to long to think of a game idea…

So oh well! xP

I think I’ll work on my unfinished 7dfps a bit instead

Actually, I’m a lot in. So far I don’t know what theme I *am* hoping for, however I know which one I’m *not* hoping for – “Bieber 4Evar <3″. PLEASE NO ANYTHING BUT THAT!

I’m considering writing my game in html5 but I only half-know javascript etc. So I’m not so sure yet. (dart also looks good but I know that even less than straight javascript!)

So if not html5 I’ll probably be using java again either with no libraries or possibly OpenGL if I’m doing some complicated thing.

also:
– Eclipse.
– Sublime text 2.
– Paint.NET.
– Photoshop.
– Sfxr. Bfxr (just noticed it’s better!).
– FL Studio 11.
–  Audacity.
– My microphone.
– Some other stuff I’ve forgotten?

kthxbye.

I failed! Ha!

Yes, that’s a bad thing. The reason for it is that I made several bad choices in my first attempt on Saturday and was forced to change the design half way through (I blame the theme dammit!), because of this I didn’t have time to finish for the competition, so I thought I’d submit it to the jam instead. I only forgot the fact that I had school to go to and I would only have ~5-6 hours to finish it so I wouldn’t be doing that either.

OOPS.

I’ll probably still finish the game (in more depth as well) because I kinda liked the idea I came up with.

I only managed to get some 3d rendering going in the time I was doing constructive stuff:

Oh well! I’ll have fun playing other peoples games and making my game better than it would have been in two days.

I’m 98% sure I’ll be doing something for LD29, Yey!

I’ll either be entering the competition or the jam depending on whether my friend helps me with design and levels and stuff like that.
I may only be able to spend smaller amounts of time on my game this LD as I need to revise for exams!

Is anyone using Unreal Engine 4 by the way? Now that the entire source is out there at a relatively cheap price? I was considering it but I don’t know the engine half as well as I should to do a game in ~48 hours :S

Here are the tools I will most likely be using:
- Language: Java/html5/javascript/C  <-  who knows really
- IDE: Eclipse/sublime text 2.
- Libraries: lwjgl/webgl if I really need hardware acceleration, if not I’ll just write everything in software.
- Art: Photoshop and Paint.NET.
- Sound/music: Sfxr, FL Studio/Ableton Live 9 Intro, my microphone.

I think that’s it?

I kinda hope the theme allows me to use voxels in some way. I’ve been doing some software rendering stuff in Java with voxels (think voxatron) and I can actually get it to run pretty fast. It’s fun!

HAVE FUN EVERYONE WOOT

For once I actually have *too many* ideas than none. I’m having trouble picking :S

YEAH! I’m totally in, 1 hour to go and I’m very excited. I was sooo worried about my exams but I totally passed every single one(!), so everything is fine and I can relax and hopefully finish a game

THE TOOLS:
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
CODE: Java? Unity? C++? Who knows, I’ll roll with it.

LIBRARIES: The only api I’ll use is some OpenGL binding if anything is too complicated to do in software.

ART: Primarily Photoshop and Paint.NET for 2D graphics/textures. Very unlikely I’ll be doing any 3D modelling but I’d be using Lightwave3d for that.

SOUND/MUSIC: Sounds will be created with sfxr, audacity and my microphone. If I get time for music I’ll either use Renoise or FL Studio.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Good luck everyone! I hope we get a good theme
