LD 39

I am probably in

as lack of time this weekend but maybe i can free me some spare time (like now). I like the theme and it is perfect for a game idea that i had some months ago - so i try it. Starting now - and for the first time a real LD :)

Wohoo it is done! Energy Boy is now Complete!

My First LD Game is released. I hope you liked it. It was a lot of fun to make it and a real hard work at all. So now i am waiting until your games come out to see amazing games you made.

Thank you for rates - i am really impressed :)

I am reall impressed by such this kind of feedback. I was a ludum dare fan since a year or so but i didnt had the time to attend. For my first LD game i am really proud of it (sure it needs a lot of improvement in the Post Version). Also i had this idea about the game some weeks ago and as i saw the theme on saturday morning i thought "okay - i dont have much time this weekend ..but i should try it to make it".

My 1yr daugther was sleeping and i had some hours time to

So this is the result. And i really loved the competition. I can now say "i made a game in less then 72 hours". And i am really impressed by how many peoples around the world created over 2400 games in just 72 hours.

So if you want to checkout my game - play it here.

Thank you everyone

I thank everyone that played, rate and leaved a comment for my game "Energy Boy". As the votes are ending soon this could the last time to say some small words about the game.

The game is still there in the Jam Version but i want to continue work on it in the next weeks and improve it ( i am now back from my 2 week vacation). For this i have tons of ideas and many of you had great ideas for improvements too.

As it was my first LD i want to say just one more thing: it was a really great experience and i want to join LD40.

So hopefully see you all next LD here too. And i love what you guys did in this great time period..there were many many great games that was made.

Another Reason why i wanted to join LD39 was to be able to leave feedback to your games (as i still watched the games in LD38 and 37 and i didnt before recognized that only developers can leave feedback).

Sooo one bonus motivation to finish this was rating for other games and tell the developers what great things they did.

LD 40

I am in too!

This will be my Second LD (after LD39). Cause i like the Time pressure on the Game Jams i can't wait to start :). Tools that i plan to use: - Unity 2017.2 - Asperite - Photoshop CS6 (but only maybe as Asperite should be enough) - Bfxr (Sounds) - maybe LMMS or Famitracker for Music - Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition

So this friday i will go early to bed and wake up early to start jammin. I also really excited to see what you all will be creating.

I'm in!

First i didnt had an idea - now i have a great Idea...but it has nothing to do with Laval Lamps... not yet lol :)

We jammin!

So now i have an idea - i get really into progress :) Title Screen, Logo and one item complete to draw - now some unity stuff.

And some little mood sound for you (Jammin): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFRbZJXjWIA

Wonder Land

Progress is okay - level 1 complete. I want just one or two more levels. But it needs to much art currently and no music :) Just decide later if it is enough for the compo or submitting it to the Jam. screenshot.JPG

I am finished for the JAM!

Here is the game.

Some words about the progress and development. I had prepared 2 more levels but lost them currently (and didnt have access to it). So a lot of progress is gone but i had a stable "2 Level" Version. This is prepared for a LD40 Build.

I post some Post JAM Updates definetly about this cool game and have many ideas about how to make more out of it. Also it made really fun to create. I love the humor of this game. I hope you too.

As i woke up on saturday (40 minutes after theme announcement) my first thought was "how should i do something with this theme ?" ..but an hour later i had an great idea :).

Wonder Land - Last Chances to rate it :)

Only 4 hours left - last chance to rate Wonder Land:) Hope you enjoy it. screen3.JPG https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/wonder-land

Thank you all :)

Well this is really good - i mean i reached the Top 50 in Theme and 126th in Innovation. Also the other values are better as then from my last game which means i become better :)

Also i plan to make a full version from this idea (launch on mobile too). But with more levels and improved graphics.

I will update this here too.

Thank you all for your help and feedback.

LD 41

I'am definetly in

This will be my third Ludum Dare. And this time i have REALLY time for it. And this time i plan to go Compo (as i will be solo as usual).

I hope the theme is good and that i get some good ideas for it :)

I'm happy that i am in again.

Hello again, this will be the third time where i join LD. Since LD39 i am now in.

I really hope that i have some good idea when the theme is announced.

My Setup

As i announced some days ago i will be in and have many time. This time i want to try to make it for compo (the last times i didnt as lack of time).

As for everyone who could be interested in this will be my setup for jammin :)

This will be the tools i plan to use.

  • Game Engine: Unity 2017.3
  • Graphics: Aseprite (primaly) but maybe some things in Photoshop CS6
  • Sound: Bfxr (and Famitracker)
  • Music: Boscaceoil maybe (my music skills are not so good)
  • (Blender) -> Only if i go 3D (what i am currently not planning)

Concept will be written down as usual in a simple TXT Editor (Notepad++).

Sharing my experience and vote results

Hello together, i decided to make a small blog post on my page to write down some experiences about my LD39 and LD40 Games. Also i like to share my vote results for this jam and some notes about how it works and what i feel.

If you are interested you could read it here: LD41 Warmup

NOOOOOOOO! ...well - i try to do my very best

Some minutes before i woke up i had dreamed the theme is "Ancient Technologies" (which well couldn't be - so i woke up). Then i looked up in my smartphone refreshing ldjam page...

This was the Theme i dreded the most as i could not imagine that there will be good games with these themes:( It reminds me the AVGN Episode for Action 52.

Fortunately in LD40 i had the same issue and made a good game - so let's try our very best.

Good luck all - you are gonna need it :)

I think i have an idea

After some brainstorming i have an idea which could be good.

A "Dating Sim Action RPG". You are dating a women to prevent that she breakup with you she wants "things". To find these things you need to make a time limited quest in a top down world.

I hope this is not too big oO What do you think ?
