As usual, starting 6 hours late because it's 2am here when the jam begins. But like hell was I starting off no rest...
Can't say I'm the happiest with the theme, but making the best of a dodgy theme is part of what taking part in a jam's about
Let's do this :sunglasses:
So it's already moved on, but might as well post last night's progress update gif :)
Today's progress: have started adding more things to talk to. Few of them answer back. I've also changed the art style to an art style. It's not a good one, but I can't draw worth a damn anyway, so it was never going to look good. Pleased with how it's working at least, and got in another few hours of sleep, so I feel nice and awake to come up with puzzles today.
Not far to go now! I originally had a picture here, but I realised there's a mistake with it. So maybe not as nearly as I thought... you also can't delete blog posts! So that's a discovery.
I feel we've all gained something here. Meaningful online interaction has been achieved. Good job everyone.
It's not as done as it could be, but it's as done as it's going to be :), Alone, a puzzle adventure game. The world is small. Shut up it's on theme.
So I've got some stuff to do this weekend which is going to get in the way of valuable Ludum Dare time. That said, I can't just not do it...
Who needs 48 hours anyway, by my count I've got a good... 16? Let's see what I can do...
Up after some sleep to start and decided to do something very basic to account for my lack of time this weekend. Somehow this translated in my head to "Hey let's start by trying to create a lighting system in GameMaker Studio". What.
Still some issues with it (spot the dodgy light going through seams in objects), but I'm surprised how quickly that came together (with the aid of a few tutorials, as I've never done it before). Now to actually make a game.
Hoo, that was close, short on time this weekend so decided to cut my compo deadline down by an extra 12 hours and force myself to be a bit less ambitious. Good luck everyone still hard at work!
In case you're curious, my game's now up here:
Hi folks, just a quick beg for a few more ratings on my game from LD39, I left most of my playing a bit late so I missed the initial rush. I'm apparently 5.625 ratings short of the 20 I need, so any more would be appreciated if you would be so kind!
My game's Nyctophobia, a game about darkness, mazes, non-functional shadows and inevitable failure. Much like my life. Just kidding, everything's great here, apart from the rating situation. Which is less great. Come for the mood, stay for the satisfaction of being the only person besides myself to legitimately beat it. Because I may have run out of time to tune the difficulty properly. Woops.
