LD24

October Challenge, My First Game

I’ve been lurking around for some time,聽idling or reading around about game development, but no more, this challenge is exactly what I need to stir things up.聽Therefore聽I’ll be making a simple action game with RPG elements while abusing procedural generation. At least in theory 馃榾

Since I’m terrible at drawing I intend that even your character, monsters, weapons and abilities be created using PGG (Procedural Generated Graphics).

For this I’ll be using:

  • Flash Develop (Actionscript 3)
  • Music/Sound I have no idea 馃榾

Any hints and tips are welcome ^.^

LD25

LD48 Here I come!

This will be my first LD48 and my second game!

Language:聽As3

IDE:聽FlashDevelop

Framework:聽 Starling

Graphics: I’m terrible at drawing! Where should I get some nicely done spritesheets?

Audio:聽Sfxr /freesound.org

 

Goals

Finishing a game! I’ll be proud of myself聽whether聽or not I finish something good, the simple fact of finishing will be a great morale boost!

Fun and Experience

Use what I accomplish this weekend as the base for a bigger and amazing game

>> Where should I get some nicely done spritesheets?

Theme

This theme is hard, but I have a plan!

Let’s see how the feudal lords would do it! 馃槈

Lunch time!

Can’t post any pictures I don’t actually have a camera able to link to the computer!

This is my first LD and we’re not even half-way and it’s already being an awesome experience!

 

My Current build 聽not much to see right now! Besides awesome paint skills!

Currently missing:

Playable!

Cities

Army management

Small storyline

 

Bonne聽appetite!

Playable nearly achieved!

My latest build as been uploaded.

Stuff missing:

Details on the location hovered.

Button functions

Button text including the chance of victory over a *cough* city

Introductory/Lose/Win聽storyline

Instructions Screen (DON’T PRESS THE INSTRUCTIONS BUTTON! if you do reload)

Music theme

Sound Effects

Actual graphics (why am I so bad at drawing?!#)

 

Either way, I expect to have a聽bugless聽playable build with no storyline by the end of the first 24 hours, I’ll consider myself a winner just with this.

Other things missing TEA! I forgot to buy some >.<

Cutting down!

Was going for an army of evolved goats killing all humans, but will have to cut down on that army! Instead I’ll have to remain with a simple goat superiority zerg.

This will ensure I have time to build up the storyline and some minor polishing.

Gameplay Completed!

I finally completed the gameplay! Now I need to give it a story to make sense of what’s happening, some mood music and sounds. Also instructions lol.

I know how you feel ^^

Situational Point

Forgot to add AI.. game is unloseable 馃槓

I’m unsure if I’ll have time to add the AI, we’ll see, nevertheless it’s a game worth it’s 48 hours work for someone who’s making his second game.

 

Loving LD, thanks all!

 

Also goats power.

Situational Point!

Introduction clip has been done! Missing the victory (good/bad ending maybe) clip, also the losing clip.

Still haven’t made a music I like.

No sound Effects as of yet, not really a must so聽I’m聽leaving it to last.

Also for there to be a losing clip I need an actual lose situation! Better get that AI done.

Also聽1goat

Game Over!

It was a long run, and聽I’m聽getting tired so I’m calling this the Revenge of the Goats.

Goals Assessment

Finishing a game! – done! Not exactly the theme I hoped for but聽awesomely聽fun nevertheless.

Fun and Experience – done! Learnt quite a few things,one of them was that I need to project my views better.

Use what I accomplish this weekend as the base for a bigger and amazing game – Maybe if I get an actual artist,聽heh.

Features not implemented

Armies, I mean I wanted to have ramming goats throwing themselves at humans holding pikes! But that’s way too epic for my drawing skills and to do in 48 hours with my current experience.

LD28

Third I鈥檓 in!

This will be my third time participating in LD48!

I’ll be using Unity, but likely not making anything big visually!

My objective in this LD is to learn more about Unity GUI components and more about story driven dev. So I’m likely to be making a sort of text adventure with multiple choices unless the theme gives me a way better awesome idea of course 馃榾

So I’ll be using Unity3D with SimpleJSON for any existing rather not hardcode data!

 

GLHF everyone!

LD29

Another LD

As words are just lacking, let’s just do LD48聽once again 馃榾

Language:聽C#

Text Editor:聽Sublime Text 3

Engine:聽聽Unity

Graphics:聽I still have null graphical skills, so I’ll be poping blender just for geometric shapes! (unless I go nuts and meddle into unknown territory)

Audio:聽Another area I’m lacking in! like most of my previous LD I think I’ll just pass on it, I may or may not scream at Audacity sometimes 馃槓

Good luck to all and have much fun :)

LD#29 6 hours and 1 sleep later

Having some light food right now, after a long bed time, looking at what I’m doing, sort of merging FF7 and Pokemon, hopefully I’ll have enough time for some RPG conversations into the mix if not a partial JRPG it’ll be!

Current problems JRPGs are GUI heavy, oops! But that’s ok I had been training that prior to LD, just slow as hell 馃槢

 

I’ll also be using @DarkMeatGames awesome toolkit for world creation because it is awesome, grab it while you can!

LD30

LD #30 I鈥檓 in and I鈥檓 jamming!

Yo! It’s time for another LD and this time I’ll be jamming! I’ll try to stick to the 48 hour limit.

Engine: Unity3D
Library:聽Visual Novel/CYOA engine I started working a week ago, this is a good place to give it a test!
Graphics: I don’t know how to art, probably Paint doodles
Music:聽Super likely going to ping @TomboFry for a couple of his songs! http://music.tombofry.co.uk/
SFX: freesound.org and maybe bfxr

 

Obligatory goat pic!

Obligatory goat pic

After 7 hours of coding and some messing around, I need a rest!

I’m doing a kinda linear shooter, probably will try and turn it into a bullet hell.

So far I’ve made movement system, laser and projectile shooting and added a static terrible AI which is being randomly spawned.
