Yo! Champs in the making! I’ve been watching Ludum Dares for a while now, and I’ve done some small games here and there for various jams. I always wanted to join LD for some time, but there was always an excuse.

• University
• Job
• Laundry

Well no more! All has been put on the side for TOTAL FOCUS ON #LD48!!! I’ll be streaming the whole thing live on my Twitch channel twitch.tv/shikatozi in an effort to show the game dev process with fam/friends. I look forward to just having a good time making a cool game. I also can’t wait to play everyone else’s games over the coming weeks!

AIGHT! LET’S DO THIS!!!!

“Heavy Metal Detector” is a game about an old rocker who’s looking for his metal beneath the surface of the beach.

Total Dev Time: 12 Hours 35 Minutes

Successes

• Got to do pixel art for my game for the first time
• Recorded my own “music” and sound effects
• Learned about Audacity and used it
• Learned about animating sprites in Unity

Challenges

• Tripping on some simple script in Unity. ie having a gameobject be able to play multiple audio sources.
• Sprites look very rough, environment could have used more action in it.
• Gameplay is really simple (I aimed to do a simple game, but maybe this is too simple?)

I really enjoyed doing the pixel art between the coding. I’m currently refining my skills in that. I think this community is really awesome and I did enjoy playing other developers’ games. I look forward to Augusts’ LD!

Thank you for reading!
