I’m in, just starting my game!

How awful it is to see our game when the others games seems so cool…

Late but don’t care:

Programming:

Probably game maker.

Graphics:

Awful pixel art made with paint.

Sound:

Noteworthy composer maybe…

~The idea: I still dunno!~

I prepare a sortof bicolor plateform game with some rpg fonctions.

The unconventional weapon will be the playable character attack: a dart like serquet. A second character will have a bow.

The goal… Well, you’ll see in the game.

I only hope I will be able to finish it, I have half my time occupied…

I start late, but I’m in it, for the compo.

I just worked a full day non stop, it’s 2h45 in the morning, and I’m not even sure I’ll have the time to finish my project.

But the worst is that I lack of coffee and I’m asleep, so I’ll continue it and I’ll post progress tomorrow.

I’m in and I choose the theme…

Huh…

Why not both?

A game with two buttons, but were the more you play, the more you grow stronger?

I’ll see.

Is it just me or we can’t put note anymore on games we played?

Ok for this compo, I'm thinking about a sort of horror game. Sort of. The idea is: -The player start at the entrance of a cave of some sort. -You can only go further in. -As you go through the cave your torch start to run out of battery. -You can charge the torch with another battery, but there's a limited number of them, and changing battery makes you have no source of light. -Which is sad, because there's some... Things in there. And while the good things doesn't seems to mind about the torch, the bad things kinda does. Will you find a way to get out? Or will the bottom be empty? -Also random generation. Kinda. -Probably a length of three levels, with a duration of 4 screen by level. I hope I'll be able to make this.

I was on my way to make the full game on delphi, but the more I worked, the more I got lost. I'm never gonna do a Ludum Dare in a language I just started learning anymore.

Gonna need to start over... On game maker, for timing reasons. Meh.

End of the first day. I've made the full movement system, all the audio (which means one music and one sound...), most of the tiles, and the torch. I still have to do the levels (basically just screen going from left to right with little holes and some jump to do), title/ending screen, tiles for one level, and ennemies. Five ennemies will exist, two permanant that reduce the amount of power you have left, and one that kills you when the torch is off too much, and three depending on the level. It's going okay, but I start to feel that the ludum dare may be short for an "horror" game.

I'm having hard time deciding myself how many level should I make. I've basically made 3 levels plus an intro and a end level, which makes the game something like 4 to 5 minutes long for me (who know the levels by heart), and I'm trying to find out if I must then make more level or polish what's already made. Any idea?

I mean seriously: it's just ridiculous! If you end up with a working game it means that the genre aren't incompatibles! Plus it doesn't give any liberty to the dev and ask to be mastering at least two genre!

Meh, I'll go with a TCG-platformer. I hate everyone who voted that.

Love you all.

Hmph.

That's it! The game is done!

It's a follow up to a game I made for another Ludum Dare. I've decided to combine card games with platformer. There's not as much card as I hoped and there's an awful lack of animations, making the "card" part pretty small, but that's not that bad.

The game is extremely short because I had to start everything to zero after the first day, due to the first try being awful.

I hope you'll like it anyway!
