Ludum Dare 54

Greeting

This is my first time ever participating Ludum Dare. I am going solo, I can somewhat draw, making random bs music. Man, this Ludum Dare feels so overwhelming, hopefully I can make a do and have some impacts. I think that this year would be very hard for me to win anything so I will not have high hopes for the prize. My tools to participate would be Java IDE( I build my framework and slap some additional tinkering), Musecore(I have been using it since 2016) and my shitty drawing skills(I can't draw humanoid well so I expect I would go for some kid like doodling). God speed to all. A prototype of what I have done before participating: https://nomanlike.itch.io/16th-floor

Greeting

This is my first time ever participate this. I am going solo. My drawing is not great, my music making is not good also. I don't expect to win or achieve anything. I am using Java IDE to make game(I have a code structure already). Good luck have fun

Done with the game

Sometimes, when your butt cheeks are about to get roasted from LD jam solo and JP incoming mid course exam, you might think of the rope in more meaningful ways. anyways, GG no re

Idea process before finishing the game

The first idea in my head was making a game with the title called "Under the rubble". Basically a simple visual novel with choices for the day, but I scratched it due to the fact that I have very limited artistic skills and I don't feel the game very engaging. The second idea came is to make a random generated tiles with limited turns to explore. However, my artistic skill is also killing the idea. And I do feel that my mom was kinda right about how confusing the tiles looking like: chosen_1.png. Nope, not gonna go that way either for another reason is not engaging. The third idea and final idea came to me when I reply to my mother when she was calling for me and didn't hear my reply well. Then the title for the game: lungage. limited lung capacity is kinda interesting and in my ability. And so I copied most of my in another progress project then slap its mechanic and fixing quite exhausting. So why I posted this? It should be like a log of my progress and also wanting to encourage the others not to give up or give in the temptation of lazy devils. You have one day to go my fellow jammers :))))

Thoughts so far

In my opinion, the best old games fitting the theme are 2048(since you have 4x4 tiles to work with) and 10!10!. Both are mobile games and are also easy to be done in 48 hours for compo alone. But they were released long ago. This year, we might see some weird games missing out the theme completely but that is okay because the spirit is there. Ludum Dare is a community competition, we need honest and brutal feedbacks in order to improve ourselves. Don't let your ego be too fragile whether it is high or low, take the blows, don't be disencouraged, don't let the pride blind your view. Show em what yer got, challengers.

Damn It

welp, I can't play for 2-3 days straight. my laptop monitor has gone haywire. It was not from any ludum dare games, don't be panic or paranoid. I blame on that spider on that damn day, I should have killed it with a swift blow rather than spraying the alcohol into it. Anyway, I wish that days would go well for me instead of misfortunes. welp, I got what I deserved for being too sadistic against a spider I guess. anyway, I wish for better days and times.

Well Then

I got my girl(the laptop) back on Thursday. 6 days left, I guess I should grind some and do something. My plan is to draw something done and composing something done too. Anyway, I highly doubt that I would win something, I might as well play enough games from randomly refresh games on LD. I do also plan to make a stereotype post about games in LD (don't worry, I will not talk about the bad apples that ruined my mood). Maybe I should play that tf2 zombie mode for the fun to relax. I will try to ignore self advertise comment types if those games are not my interest(such as convoluted controls, 3d games, games that takes too much space, games that takes too much GPU because I fear for my laptop monitor goes haywire again), tldr, short simple games that doesn't take my time will always catch my interest because I have homework and next month, I have an exam for the JP course. Good luck and have fun

the result

funny.JPG well, it is my first time. So gg no re. Next time, I should do better and better preparation. Anyway, I am gonna continue do my other project. Or improving my artstyle Or focusing on my life. Until next time (not next LD), I am gonna take it easy. And no, I am not going black out forever. I am still playing online games and using discord. :))))
