Spend all first day to think on which type of game I should make wasn’t much of a great idea…

So at 8am (I’m in France :p), I started coding a game called “Defuse the bomb!” (I’m so innovating!), and in about 3 hours, I managed to do a complete working base for a “top-view 2D speed puzzle game”!

Here’s a screenshot (sorry, the art is still temporary for levels/scissors, and I’m alone to do all the work):

The goal is to defuse the bomb (obvious) with the scissors. Get the scissors, go back to the bomb and level complete!

The levels are pretty simple to build. A .png image for displaying and another to set spawn of bomb/player/scissors and collision mask.

I didn’t think I’ll do as many images today:

(And Eclipse doesn’t want to show all the assets!)

Only for a very simple game like that!

Still have to do a pause menu and add 3 or 4 other levels (by now, I have already 5 levels that work perfertly fine)!

Today was a great day!

I couldn’t think I’d do a game like this with only one day.

Here’s the link to the submition, Defuse the bomb

Is it possible to add an improved (highscores, better transitions, etc.) version to our entry (and keep the original one) ?

28th Ludum Dare ? I’m in!

I’ll try to do a game with:

– Eclipse

– Paint.NET

– Notepad++

And… my mind, should be a great idea 😀

Maybe it’s a bit too early to say it but, good luck all!

This time, the theme wasn’t really inspiring and I can’t find any great idea.

So gaving in… Will be for the next time

I will be participating to this ludum dare unless it clashs too much with school.

Anyway, I hope the theme will be easier than last time and here are my weapons of choice:

• Language: Java
• Engine(s): LWJGL and an utility library I’ve done so time ago
• IDE: Eclipse
• Graphics: Paint.NET
• Sound & Music: BFXR
• Maps: Paint.NET (image based loader) or Tiled

Good luck everybody!

It has been two hours that I’m in and I still have no clear idea of what I’m doing.

At least, I’ll learn how to use Object Groups in Tiled!

Finally finished all the player’s animations!

I’ll focus a bit more on maps and actual gameplay tomorrow and polish some tiny things this evening.

Bonus: A bit of code!

(they are two Windows calculators active, that’s how you know you’re busy :p)

Started to add animations to the player!

Climbing, jumping and falling are still missing though.

Here’s a video!

(Click on the images to see them correctly sized)

I spent my whole evening fixing the player climbing animations and how the climbing is handled by the physics. But I think it was worth it! 😀

First (official and complete) map!

Bonus: Screenshot of the actual game:

Don’t hesitate to click on the images to see them correctly!

The normal title screen of my game looks like that:

But now, if you wait more than 30 seconds on it…

Looking for inspiration on Google and…

Seriously guys ??

It’s 9pm here in France and I’m getting tired.

I hope the game isn’t too bad ^^

I’m experiencing some problems with GitHub, I have school tomorrow, so the code for my game will be available tomorrow in the afternoon :

Anyway, I hope you are having fun with your game! Good luck if you didn t finished yet
