I’m in, I think.

Hi,

In his keynote, David S. Gallant said that everybody could participate to Ludum Dare. So I’m in.
As a french student, my english is very bad, I apologize. And as a french procrastinator, I didn’t learn programming.

“But why do you participate to Ludum Dare french procrastinator ?”

Because I know how to use Twine ! Twine is a tool that allows you to create interactive stories. Yes, like Choose Your Own Adventure Book.
So, for my First Ludum Dare, I’ll use :

  • Twine
  • Word, because most of my game will be text
  • Maybe GraphicsGale or Pyxel Edit because Pixel Art is cool
  • My Dictionary because my English is very bad

I’m in, I think.

This post will unblock me.

I hope.

I’ve a big problem with motivation. I started to brainstorm 20 minutes ago. I have three potential ideas now, but I’m stuck. I don’t know which one to choose.

Ludum Dare, you start very well.

PS : Sorry for your eyes if I made mistakes, I’m not very good in English.

Finally, I began my game !

In my precedent post, I said that I didn’t know which concept choose between 2. I choose one, work on it during 1 hour, and eventually I decided to stop working on the first concept and started to work on the second one. Yes, I’m undecided.
My game will be a basic interractive fiction, like Choose Your Own Adventure book. The story : a bomb will explose in 10 seconds, choose what to do among a lot of choice ! I think I’ll post a beta test tonight, or tomorrow morning (I’m in France). Here is a screenshot of Twine with some choices, not all !

This post is the begining of my pause. Now, I’ll eat some Youtube videos and take a great and hot shower !

PS : Sorry for my very bad english guys.. :(

Please, need help !

Hi,

I’m making a Twine game and I’ve a probleme with the print function. I write : Congrats, you’re alive ! <<remember $life = $life+”1″>> You manage to see the end of the game in <<print $life>> try. And when I build the story, I have : Congrats, you’re alive !You manage to see the end of the game in undefined1 try

And I don’t know why there is “undefined”. Please, help me ! :(

Well I no nothing about twine, but maybe your forgot to initialize $life. Maybe setting it to 0 before you do anything else might fix it

I know nothing about it either, but could the + need a leading and trailing space? Just the first thing that catches my eye. I like a little whitespace between anything like that on one line of code…

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ! You’re a hero martijn ! I thought that I had not to initialize $life at the begining but I was wrong ! Allelujah !

Save the world in the toilet !

Although I posted my game 10 minutes before  the deadline (in fact, 10 minutes before the submission hour which I had no idea that it existed), I found juste 17 hours later the energy and the motivation to write a post to “announce” and present my game.

In Bombed Life, you’re a baseball fan who wanted to pee and when you enter in the toilet, you found a bomb with 10 seconds remaining. A lot of choice appears to you. Try to survive to this nightmare, and preferably, save thousand of supporters in the same time.

Here is my entry, have fun and say me what you thought of my game please !

A little question…

Hi !

I just played my game and I found a lot of mistakes. Am I allow to make a V.1.1 without mistakes and adding change some little details of the game and post it in order to replace the first version ? I ask because it would be considered as cheat, I thought.

Thanks ! :)

gamebreaking bugs, spelling errors and the like may be fixed. new features or gameplay tweaks may not be added.

Version 1.1 is here !

While I helped my brother to translate in french (he is very useless in english), it allowed me to reread what I wrote. And I didn’t count how many grammatical errors there were…

So, I decided to roll up my sleeves up and hunt them ! And after 2 hours, version 1.1 is born ! I also rephrase 2 or 3 sentence and add a “Majin Booan” gif ! Also, Hamumu, a Ludum Dare moderator, have a sex affair… 😡
