SKYWARS, A war in the sky
For the warmup weekend I decided to test a tank sprite, A new random engine and a new particle system.
Simply shoot the parachuting soldiers,
Left Right – Rotate
Space – Shoot
Clicking “GG” – Restart

Everything else explained in the readme
Right! To begin ludum dare (4hours early) was to import all of my sprites and setup my refrence project and workspace
Whats been done :
What will be done : (still pre-ludum)
So yes, That is the progress so far
– Oranebeast / Star (Team something whatever no name at the moment)
.
Welp!
I need to know whether these two sprites work together!
(The mirror and the backround, Ignore the bricks)
Imagine this is a circuit, Like the ones you find in your lamps etc.
YAY, I finished my game for Ludum Dare 29 Jam!
Being my first Ludum Dare, It is quite an accomplishment

Lets see. Ludum Dare 29! Oh yeah! It was my first (and not last) ludum dare.
I created a puzzle game known as IO, The games mechanics were to shoot the
red tank, by reflecting the bullets of of mirrors, igniting bombs, blowing up
bricks and using portals. Original I had hoped to create ALOT more content,
But for 72 hours (Of which I porbably only worked 13) I was proud of myself.
I created a basic click n’ place system for the mirrors and a very pixel style
for the game, of which Star made the graphics.
What went well :
What did not go well :
But after this journey, I gained a game, To cherish, love and polish at my will. (when im not too lazy)
Oh, and some lovely reviews!
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=33501 – Give it a play
That is the question.
I got some good comments on my game but feels I need a bunch of suggestions to help. I also feel I should change my graphics style, I think minimalistic could be better
Any way go mad! Critisize. I dont care. JUST GOPHER IT
(Yes I am a fan of puns)
oranebeast.co.vu – This is just because I opened a blog up! Yay!
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=33501 – the game
A while back I tried to make a worm game, But created this instead.
You choose a color (Through spacebar or the 123 keys) and overlap to make more vibrant colors and move around to draw,
See an example:
I suck at flowers
So I’d just like to see your thoughts on this “thing”

Hello. I’m orane. You knew that. Title on the left. Or up. I don’t know.
I inquire today about young people doing Ludum dare. I have heard a few stories (Tosic in particular) of young people doing LD. I myself am one of them (Aged 13) and I did well *ahem* 36th place for fun *ahem* So I just want to know how old were you when you started LD’s, and who is the youngest you know.

Hey guys, Yahar.alc made a plug.dj community for djing whilst people create ludumdae games!
Go check it out!

Suprisingly, during development of my minild game, (not finished yet) I created accidental cell automata. Although unpredictable it works and it uses a specific trick. Due to my limited range of gamemaker knowledge, therefore the inability to create a “is this over there” function made me think outside the box. Literally.
The trick
The cell creates a “drone” of sorts that goes either left, right, up or down until it collides with a specific block, if it’s the right block the drone deletes itself and turns that block into the new cell. All of this happens whilst the drone is invisible.
so that’s my little trick and my “go” at cell automata. It’s not really cell automata but it does what it needs to do.

For this Ludum Dare, I think I’ll go for a team!
What I can do:
Normally I ask people what they want done, Instead of what I can do, But I’ll write this anyway
I feel I work well in a team, But my Timzone sometimes mess’ things up, (UTC+12)
I suggest you check out my creations in my profile menu.
So if you need me, Comment. Preferably close to my timezones, But you dont have to be.
sys.exit(“orane out”)
So I finally got a website going. Yay for me!
It has all of my projects, an about me page (With my full name) and ablog.
(And I’m not paying a single cent for the domain either!)
For my second ludum dare, I’ll use what I had used but with extras. I hope
I can get round to competing I’m a little stressed for time,
– GameMaker (it’s not bad. Try it.)
– Chronolapse.
– Teh GIMP
– Ableton Live 8
– GXSCC
-sfxr/bfxr/jfxr (sbjfxr)
-my brain, pro edition.
I’m not sure. Apparently the foreground does not pop enough

CLICK ME TO PLAY!!!!!! CLICK ME TO PLAY!!!!!! CLICK ME TO PLAY!!!!!!
WOWZ, I made a timelapse…..
10 hours (give or take) making this game. WOO!
During Ludum-dare I created an average arcade game taking place between two creatures with the ability to switch places through their worlds.
What happened:
First I woke up and had a large break fast
turns out wordpress likes to flip images.
then got to my work station
it sure loves flipping images.
and began creating.
What went right:
What went wrong :
What will happen next time :
What will I do with the game :
I’ll probably make a post-game, I found my self to love it and others aswell, Plus with a little extra content, It’ll run itself and I won’t need to create as much content in the long run.
You promised a timelapse?
Oh, yes here it is.
orane you glad I didn’t misspell orange again?
Why? Because I told you to. And people said this!

Nice work on this, I liked seeing the Ikaruga-style mechanics in a runner, which I don’t believe I’ve seen before. If you continue this I would recommend a method of ensuring you don’t get “impossible” spawns or long stretches of spawns where you don’t have to interact (you can do this a couple ways, one way is pre-designing segments that work really well and just procedurally generating the segments, or you can figure out the minimum distance needed to swap and make sure things don’t spawn under that distance). Since swapping is the only mechanic you could really play up the polish on those characters and have them animating super cute! Playtest with the colorblind 
Overall really nice work!

You seem to use both this LD theme and previous theme aswell 😀
Simple game, simple graphics, but it all seems very organic and lovely!

Aside from the die-for-no-reason bug, that’s pretty fun! I think it can be a little tricky sometimes to tell what’s a power-up and what’s an obstacle. The music sounds a little harsh, but the sound effects are nice. Overall, I liked it.

The pixel art is very nice, and everything blends together fairly cohesively. The music is nice and fits the game well. If there were no bugs, I can see myself enjoying this game (even more). The random deaths were quite funny to me, but basically eliminate the competitiveness since it is more “player versus game” than “player versus player”.
