Hi there,

I plan to participate in LD #31 next week-end and the MiniLD #55 tomorrow!

Being roaming over there for one year at least, I want to be part of it with you this time
I make games at spare times since looooong looooong time but just released one in the real world (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/641447, oh yeah it’s a mahjong game ^^).

For the MiniLD I got the idea last night – not sleeping well searching for ideas – to make a game called “Prepare… to RACE!”. The goal of the game will be to prepare a formula one car before the race, adjusting elements like tyres or engine according to the weather, the track, and other parameters. After the start, computed cars will race with you and the best will win.

Goals and tools planned for the MiniLD :

• Setup  a Twitch stream with screen and webcam, OMG with 100 kbps it’s impossible x)
• Have a playable game (and fun!) at the end of the week-end,
• Possible engines : Vanilla JS + Pixi.js, Phaser, Construct 2 or HaxeFlixel,
• Tools : Gimp, Sfxr/Jsfxr, other free online tools.

Good luck to all and hope to see you there,
jhice, from France, La Rochelle.

So I started “Prepare… for RACE!” pen and paper first.

To be continued tomorrow!

Here’s what I get after battling to find a way to do it, I finally got something working :p
There’s still lot of work to achieve! Next news in 4 hours, I hope.
Reminder: “Prepare… to RACE!” see my previous posts for more information.

Procedurally generated track done Need opponents and the possibility to custom the car.
See you tomorrow, good night to the sleepers…

I finally submit it… was hard to get a “finish” but hope it will be useful for the LD!
