Well. Here I am telling the community that I’m going to participate in LD20. I’m nervous as ever. Well, onwards to the information. I’m probably going to use the following tools:

PDCurses – awesome text-ness for stuffs

GIMP – graphics editing

as3sfxr – 8bit sound generation

Code::Blocks – c/c++ IDE

Buckets of procrastination – self-explanitory

 

Anyway, this is going to be my first LD. Don’t expect anything visually fancy from me because you’re not going to get it. I’ll probably be too busy ripping my hair out and exploding buses or something to care about visuals. I’m also challenging myself (great idea for my first LD, huh?) to make this thing in C or C++ which is rather time consuming compared to other options such as Python or Ruby.

Thanks for reading, wish me luck. I really need it. 😉

Hey. I’ve decided that for my game I might just go back to the roots of games like ZORK and Colossal Cave Adventure.

Expect hardcore getch() action!

Hello everyone! Who wants graphics in their games these days? My game is called Gafl. (Graphics are for losers) and is going to be about drugs and prostitutes and Russians… Or something.

Screenie: #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

I feel like dropping this one. Not because I can’t finish, it’s because I can. Let me explain. You see, I’m working on a visually minimalistic game using Curses. The reason I want to drop out is that my game feels subpar to all the others in the compo, and more importantly, dull. However if I receive at least two comments asking me to finish, I will.

The point is, I want to know if there are some people out there who want to see something like this on the list of games. Thanks for reading.

Hey everyone. I’m taking about 6 comments to heart that told me to finish this game and I am doing so. I just gotta fix a bug or two and put the final touches in it.

7 Hours to go. Keep your pants on everyone. 😀

“I’ve done it! I’ve killed him with the poison just like you wanted. Now where’s my family!? WHERE ARE THEY?!”

I’d love for you to guess what movie that’s from. But as I said in a previous post I had taken 6 comments to heart, asking me to finish my game and I have done so. You can download it here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-20/?action=preview&uid=3512

This game is so hardcore that I’ve accidentally misspelled “hardcore” as hardcare. If someone would tell me how to edit submissions because I can’t seem to find out how. Thanks.

You might know me from my absolutely awful contribution to LD20 known as Gafl. I fixed it up recently and you can find it on my rarely updated blog: sisanit.tumblr.com

Anyway, I’m gonna participate, and this time I’m going to make some base management thing. I might not finish it but whatever.

Going to use:

C++ w/ SDL or SFML1.6

Code::Blocks

SFXR

 

And maybe some other stuff.

So I’ve decided to do a Bomb Defuse game using C and SDL w/ SDL_mixer, because SDL_image seems to be broken. I also recently learned that Defusal is not a word. Anyway, here are a couple of screenies!

#gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Hello. I’m Kaphonaits. You may know me from when I outputted these two pieces of doodoo into this competition!

Gafl: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-20/?action=preview&uid=3512

Bomb Defuse: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-22/?action=preview&uid=3512

Both aren’t completely finished and are awful! So i’m going to try again and again until I can say, “yes, i made this game in 48 hours in C/C++ and it’s nice.” or i’ll just cry myself to sleep.

The things I’m going to be using:

-MSVC++ 2010 – Programming is important and C++ is nice.

-SFML2 – So I don’t have to waste >48 hours just building an engine or whatever

-Sfxr – Sounds and stuff

Depending on the theme, I think I’m going to make a strategy micromanagement thing about finding out what happens in the Girl’s Bathroom or something really stupid like that.

I have no imagination.

Yeah okay. I’m fresh out of ideas so I’m going to make a management game about making meth or something like that. The bottom pane will have some cute visuals about what’s currently going on, maybe some passive animations of the inside of your meth lab? I’m not sure yet. There’s a lot of time to go!

So I lost, like, five hours of work and now I don’t have time to finish for the Compo unfortunately. Depending on tomorrow’s schedule, I might make it a jam game.

 

We’ll see.

Hi. I’m Kaphonaits. I’ve participated in three previous Ludum Dare compos, I finished 2/3 of said entries. That being said, I might participate in this upcoming compo if I have the time. I might not be able to finish because of Sunday plans, however if I’ll be releasing what I finish regardless with lots of comments and stuff so people can read it and either learn from it or stalk me on the internet just to constantly tell me I suck at programming and should kill myself twice because of it.

Anyway, I’ll most likely make my game in C/C++ with SDL/SFML2. I’ll probably use SFXR/Audacity for audio, GIMP/Paint.NET for graphics, and MSVS/Sublime depending on what OS I do my work on.

Have a nice day everyone 😀

I think I’m gonna make a game about running places. You’re some adrenaline filled guy on top of skyscrapers. You run across them. The end. I’m probably going to implement score-rewarding mechanics that make it not boring.

I hope.

Screenshots!

Hello. I continued my progress on my running game. As I went on, the game became silly-er and silly-er. Currently, this is the background / story of the game.

IN A WORLD WHERE TAPE MANUFACTURERS HAVE DOMINATED THE UNIVERSE, ONE MAN, A SPECIAL MAN, A HALF MAN HALF SPRINKLER, LUKE SKYWALKER, IS ON THE RUN. HE MUST FLEE FOR HIS LIFE FROM THE HORRIBLE CTHULHU TAPE MONSTER THING THAT WANTS TO ROCK HIS SHIT. HOWEVER, WHILE RUNNING HE MUST ENTERTAIN THE FLYING INVISIBLE PAPARAZZI BY MASHING HIS KEYBOARD AND DODGING BULLETS THAT ARE FLYING THROUGH THE AIR FOR NO APPARENT REASON. HE MUST DO THIS TO ACQUIRE POINTS THAT HAVE NO ACTUAL POINT OTHER THAN EGOTISTICAL VALUE.

Screenshot:

Some quick background stuff, I’ve participated 4 times and this’ll be my 3rd time finishing. Yay! I actually submitted this about 10 hours ago but I forgot to make a blogpost about it because I was too exhausted.

RUN: The Sprinkler Man Story

HELLO. I FEEL LIKE TYPING THIS BLOGPOST IN ALL CAPS WILL ATTRACT ATTENTION yeah ok that’s enough.

so i’m coming around for my fifth entry into Ludum Dare. I’ve learned a lot since my last entries and am ready to apply that knowledge to create something awesome.

tool list:

VS2012 (C++)

SFML2.1 + some framework stuffs

Paint.NET

SFXR
