Hi all,

I wouldn’t normally be able to participate in Ludum Dare, with having kids and what-not, but it just so happens my partner is going on holiday with both kids this weekend… fate? I think so.

Anyways, I’ll be using Haxe and NME, along with a very rough set of game tools I’ve pre-written. You can get the code here for the pre-written stuff, but it is pretty dirty so use with caution :p

I look forward to massive amounts of Monster and dreams of code

Ok, so after my family and car commitments this morning I’m now able to start work properly on my game

I’m thinking a mario galaxy sorta platform game. It’ll be built using box2d, haxe and my game tools (which I posted previously). It’s for flash a target, since I find it quicker for debugging etc.

See:

Well, Day one was a little painfull, had some teathing trouble getting box2d and my cameras to behave. Still, it is what it is. Here’s a video of progress so far…

Here’s a quick video of the game so far.

The premise is to navigate round the little galaxy as a dangerous nuke, destroying the planet you’re on in order to reach a neighbouring globe.

Well that was tiring :p

I’ve submitted the game though 😀 😀 😀

There’s still loads I’d have like to have done, and I may do laters, but for now it’s sorta complete ish.

This will be my third Ludum Dare, Off to a friends house for the weekend with the mac in-tow Lots of energy drinks and beer at the ready.

Im doing the Jam this time round to relieve some of the stress and just enjoy it

I’m likely to write the game in Haxe using IntelliJ, Photoshop, Flash and Audacity.

Good luck everyone!

All setup, lets go!

Here’s John’s idea and a one-sentence of my idea :p

Just awoke on day 2 to a rather ‘gamey’ looking project

Have a lookie-look (Sorry for mobile phone video, with shaky-cam, WAY too much Blue Rat last night!)

Aaaaaand Relax!

Actually, I chose to do the Jam entry this time and found it a much more relaxed experience

I’ll have a post-mortem to come soon but for now, please play my game :p

Hi guys,

This will be my fourth LD and I can’t wait I’ve kicked the Mrs and the kids out for the weekend and have got 2 fellow coders coming over to compete also.

I usually use Haxe, but I think I want to shake things up a bit this time.

I’ll probably be using:

Unity3D
Sublime Text 2
Photoshop
Google Sketchup
GarageBand

No doubt something will pop-up that I’m not expecting, but I’ll list that as-and-when

Bring it on!

I’m (@nixeldev) all setup now for @paulstamp and @markavian coming round to jam later We’re all doing individual games but it’ll be cool to get a creative dev vibe going on for the weekend

Just gotta think of what I’m gonna do now. I’m sat staring at a blank unity3d window. Certainly minimal… Box-It-Up! Ship it!
