Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/kodewerx

Assuming I can get my live streaming setup working on OSX, I should start streaming around 6:00pm PST Friday. I don’t know yet what kind of game I’m building, but I will be using:

• melonJS – HTML5 game engine
• Blipjoy template – my own “boilerplate” project, custom loading screen and intro, etc.
• Chrome – browser
• nodejuice – awesome webapp development tool
• GIMP – graphics
• Pixen [maybe] – graphics
• TexturePacker – graphics
• bxfr.net – sound effects generator
• abundant-music.com – music generator
• Audacity – mixing and audio format conversion

This will be my first LD48, and my first live-stream event. It promises to be full of hilarity!

Welp, I made a thing. (Thank goodness!)

 

This is what I had after the initial 4 hours. A functional platformer, lacking any sort of level content or “things to do”.

Then I decided to start juicing it early. Here is the result as of now, 6 hours into my first LD48:

Desaturation, noise filter, fake bloom, and speed shadows. (Love me some speed shadows!)

It looks pretty good in motion, too. And when Tweening the noise filter into full effect, it gives a nice static/analogue video look.

A good first day. I’m looking forward to starting early tomorrow! And see what else comes about with this little project.

Don’t forget to check out my live stream: http://www.twitch.tv/kodewerx It will be going all weekend.

1:11pm

First, I started plotting lines for ninja rope action. Here, they are doing collision detection and attaching to the scenery.

5:36pm

SUCCESS! Physics is actually working kind of well.

6:33pm

Ninja stars. They cut ninja ropes.

11:03pm

First level started. Also action shot of swinging + rope getting cut.

Tomorrow

The last stretch will be finishing up the first level (at least) which means one more city-scape background, a moon layer, and a bunch of platforms to go platforming and ninja roping off of. I should also make some evil ninja sprites to throw the stars. That would be fun! If I’m lucky, I might be able to do a second level theme… Music and sound effects are also on the list.

Play It

The game can be played online in its current state! Give it a go:
