This is gonna be my first ever LD.  I hope I’ll enjoy it!

Have fun everyone!

I want to use Tiled, but none of the parsers I’ve seen suits for my problem. I guess I’ll have to do it myself.

It is working. I was debugging it for half a hour. Then I realized I switched up i and j… (and a picture about it for no reason :D)

It takes so much code to do something in java (without using any external libs). I’m happy now, managed to finish map loading from tmx 😀

I’ve lost focus for some time and made a tons of bugs. But it seems like, I’ve came back

Now this looks better

Here is the second level (logic involved:)

Am I allowed to put a link to my game (as an applet) without submitting it yet?

I’ve added outlines to indicate where the other world’s platforms are (also you can’t change wodls, when staying inside an outline = stuck prevention).

Oh. And this level is not easy:

Which character would fit better to my game (also which one looks better)? (puzzle solver game)

I’ve been up for nearly 19 hours. The core engine is done, the crate pushing mechanic is a bit buggy. The first 5 levels are done. Now I’ll attack the bed 😀 .

Just woke up, ready to work . Time to add sounds to the game (I have no idea how I’m going to make them…)

I’ve added things. Here’s a video of the first 8 levels: LINK (opens in new tab)

Opinion? Any name suggestions? I really need a name for it.

Finished everything what I wanted… time to meke levels.

So this is going to be my second LD and I’m going to stream for the first time. As the first time, I’ll participate in the compo. I’m planning to use plain java and I’ll try to explain what I can.

A bit about me: I’m 17 and I’ve been programming for 7 years now. I’m not a game developer, I’m more interested in other tasks (for example I’ve created a multitasking kernel and my own programming language interpreter) but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy making games. Games made me start programming so they will stay my passion. During the stream I hope I can show some good design practices but due to time shortage I’m sure I’ll write some horribly hacked code.

The stream will start possibly half an hour before LD starts. My english will be far from perfect .

Hey guys just letting you know that I’ve started streaming. You can join here: http://www.twitch.tv/lpeter1997

I’m gonna use:

• Java (no external libs possibly)
• Paint (I prefer pixelart, I’m not an artist)
• FL studio / audacity for music and sounds

So far I have absolutely no idea for the game so I’ve started coding the basic stuff. So far I have a game loop, state machine and image rendering. Still better than nothing…

My game base (well it’s a framework) is done. I can load tilemaps, draw, everything… Now time to bang my head against the wall for ideas.

I’ve finally got an idea so I can start implementing the game logic. It’s gonna be a bit different approach. It’s going to be a puzzle game 😀  (but being a monster is still important).

Now comes the part when I panic about that I won’t be able to finish the game. Implementing platformer collision.

(Graphics are awesome, yes, I know :P)

So here’s the base mechanics of my game:

You are with the medusa. If you get to close something it will turn into stone and (if it was in the air, like this bird) fall down. I’m really far behind, I have to get faster if I want to finish this.
