and stressed as fuck.

This will be my first LD… Well my first game too, if i manage to finish it.

I’ll use Flixel, toshop  and cafeine. ouh yeah.

ouh boy, it’the end is near .

I don’t think the shape of the level will significantly change from now on so … Here it is, my minimalist approach of a level. I tried my best to give to the map an interesting composition, even if we never see the level from this distance.

last build HERE

And i’ll make a second game INSIDE the ludum dare blog by guessing how many games will have a reference to potatoes : 624

Anyway! I FINISHED ! ouh boy it feel great.

someone (surely a crazy person) made a speed run of my game

Congrats somonflex at beating me on my own game!

Despite illness and suffering from a tiny cold, i made it. Not really happy with the baby but hey, you know, he is ugly but it’s your baby. And trash would be illegal anyway.

so yeah : THE ROOM is the name

Clic on stuff and do things with your mouse, don’t be shy. (Not really a lot of things)

Since i had so much fun on my last LD‘s music, i decided to polish it. So here it is : a take on the gouls and ghost theme.

Hope you like don’t hate it ;p

I made a full track from my entry :

Oh and also : Play the game !

Karma system is in my opinion an absolute non sens. And before calling me worlds and closing your mind, at least give me a chance to explain myself :

-Already been said syndrome -> one day or another, all the comments on a game will say anything there is to say about a game. So what? this system will only reward firsts comments ? is it ok with you?

-"Great game" syndrome -> A nice feedback is totally different from a useful feedback. Yet how many "Great game" comments can you count on each page ? EVEN ON BAD ONES. I mean, it's nice to say that you liked a game, don't get me wrong. It's REALLY BAD to say it just hoping you get karma in exchange. Leading to another one :

-The honesty problem -> Can you insure me that you didn't use the shit sandwich method on your comments? You want someone to eat the 'Shit' (critic), you serve it between two lovely slices of bread. All that to ensure that you don't get a "non karma for you" situation ? And don't bother telling me that "you as an individual never skipped giving karma because of a bad comment". Sure you didn't. I didn't neither. But you or i didn't neither killed anybody right ? so should we remove all laws restricting it ?

-Rewarding teams -> The more people a team is composed, the more they will accumulate more comments, and so more karma for one game.

-Rewarding judging teams -> pretty much same as above but absurder : you give a feed back on a 10 persons team, 10 persons will give you karma. What a good deal.

-Increases the time necessary to judge a game -> giving feedback on ALL game you judge is time consuming. And that would be totally ok with me IF it didn't lead to another problem :

-Enlarging the gape of time passed judging games between popular ldjamers and non ones : This one break my heart a little cause it sounds like a direct attack toward a person. It's not. Or at least it's toward their behavior, not their work (which i love) nor their personality (i'm sure they are lovely) i'm sure there is plenty of other examples i could have found, but i will only take the ones i know.

SOOO let's take two examples : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/zero-volt-x https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/pipe-trek I would encourage you to see how many games they rated, how much feedback they gave and yet how much they got.

As a reminder : i'm not saying neither they do nothing for the community or something like that. I'm just comparing time passed judging and giving feedback.

-The "GiveALikeAndSubscribe" syndrome : I mean, do i really have to explain this one ? Anybody know youtube right ? Do we really want ldjam to be a karmabait fest ?

So here you go. Feel free to respond to me of course, I WILL GIVE YOU KARMA FOR THIS <- See ? Another problem.

p.s. : Sorry for my sometime (often?) bad English, this isn't my main language and i'm already bad in my main one.

I uploaded an extended version of my entry's soundtrack :
