Hi everybody !

It’s my first ludum Dare, and I’m really young because I’m a 16 french teen

Let’s code !

I will probably code a c++/SDL/Fmod game, but I can too build a web browser game with standarts Php/javascript libraries… Graphics ? Oh… Pixel’art will rock

Are you ready ? Ready to code ?!  (icons by me ^^)

Hi !

I’m a 17 years old french developper, and I’m ready for my second Ludum Dare ! But I don’t now if I will make a game for the compo or for the jam … Depending of the theme ! One more time, I would use web tools to create this game.

• Core : HTML/JavaScript but too PHP, Ajax and even SQL (eheh)
• Engine : Jquery / Jquery UI (if allowed)
• Sound Engine : SoundManager2
• Graphics : GIMP
• IDE : NetBeans 6.9
• SFX : A good micro and a real life 😉
• Music : WorkStation KORG PA588
• A lot of coffee.

Good luck ! 😀

_ waiting _

edit : last time, I said I should code in C++ or flash, but to my mind I’m not ready to do this. Maybe next LD ? 😉

Breakfast : OK !

Idee : OK !

Motivation : Good !

So… let’s go 😉 It will probably be a very dark game… starting designing the graphics !

So, I’m very happy of this first day developping my game.

Your objective will be to destroy a human … but you’re just a disease !

This night I would create the sounds and music of the game. And here is some screenshots ^^

See you tomorow !

Oh my god, is it a heart ?

So, It’s my second ludum dare at 17 years old, and I’m very proud of my game, Disease.

But during the compo, I haven’t got so much time to test and polish the game… That’s why I published an post-compo, “Easy Version”, which is easier and which fixes many bugs. Here is some screenshots 😉

I published too a Timelapse, a High Scores page and some tips !

What went right:

• The game is really playable and we can finish it correctly.
• I spent a lot of time to create music, and I’m very proud of the result. But Sfx aren’t really good…
• The map of the game is big (130 maps!), so it’s very nice for players 😉
• I slept enough time (around 16 hours).

What went not as right as I expected:

• I spent tooooooo much time creating the rendering/collisions engine with javascript/Dom. I should use more game libraries…
• I spent tooooooo much time creating an automatic map rendered. But it was fun ^^
• I’m not an artist, so my graphics aren’t as good as I expected. But it was my first game animations and I’m happy with this !
• There are a lot of bugs in my compo version. I’m sad. But you can play “Easy Version” to play without bugs 😉
• I had no time to add an help section of the game. If you’re stuck, read the tips in my submission page.
• Javascript/Php engine is very loooong to render. It’s sometimes unconformable for the player. Sorry.
• I had no time to create the “Online mode” : it should be a multi-player mode…
• I’m very bad speaking english …

It is the second time I used PHP to render, and it’s not a good idea. I would probably study HaXe, flash or java engines, which are great for web games.

So ! I finished my game with 1420 points (easy version) !

If you finish it with more points, I will give you a kiss ! ♥ And if you finish it in the compo version, I will… hm… no. Bad idea.

Play now !

So ! It was a great ludum dare. Really… But I’m a little bit disappointed about the lack of votes and comments of my game, Disease. I received only 9 comments for 24 votes; but the game has been started 428 times, and only two players has finished it (in easy mode, me and a very patient player ^^)…

My game is really… hard. It’s true. I had no time to create some in-game help… Look : there was around 20’000 monsters for 428 players, that’s really … too much ! The map is too really big (138 rooms) and is very boring.

♪♫ To my mind, the best thing in my game is the music. You can listen it now ! Just click here ! ♪♫

And you can also play to my game Just click the image below 😀

And I will be very happy if you comment / vote on the submission page 😉

Hi everybody !

So I’m a bit disappointed  about the results of my game…

Even if lot of people like my game’s music, I’ve reached only 2.94/5 points in audio… What ?! To my mind, this is a bad result. Very bad. I spent a lot of time creating the music, and only 2.94 … that’s not cool for me.

But… How were the results calculated ? I guess this is not a simple average of all votes…

So. I don’t know if I would participate to another ludum. I’m really disappointed…

This time, I won’t be alone for the ludum ! I don’t want ugly graphics again >_<

For my third participation, I’ll do the jam with by girlfriend, Yukiren (who is a veryyy veryyy good designer !).
It is her first participation in LD. I hope she’ll enjoy it !

Stuff :

• Libgdx (desktop and/or android) as game engine
• PA588 Korg Keybord for the music (or/and maybe some softwares… 😉 )
• A good mic or Bfxr for the sound effects
• Photoshop & Asprite for graphics

My first & second ludum games were based on PHP/Html5 but it’s very difficult to make dynamics games with PHP. So, I decided to learn Java with Libgdx.

Objective : probably a good retro game !

Let’s do it !

Here we go ! After one hour of intensive music work… I’ve got the first music of the game !

Made with Korg PA588 Keybord.

Enjoy

>> Listen now !

Good news ! The game engine is now finished !

We have now to make the graphics and the level design 😉
Creating a platform game is a very exciting experience !

Our nice result after ~40h of work.
It’s a classic platforms game but… something is wrong… Heheh !

=> Time to sleep.

Hey ! Here are the two soundtracks of our jam game 😉

Of course, don’t forget to vote & comment !

Hey guys !

I just published a web version on our game, “Fragment”. Works well with WebGl, thanks to LibGdx libraries !

However, this version is still experimental. Music can become unsync with graphics And you really have to listen the music to win this game !
