Hi guys, I’m a Java programmer and I’m looking for a PIXEL (why? I want this game to be something like the old-school games from the 80th, the old 8-bit games) artist for Ludum Dare 34, if you are a pixel artist and you want to help me out, write down your e-mail in the comments 😀 I’ll really appreciate it.

Hey guys, If you are reading this now, you are going to learn about my plans for the next Ludum Dare, which is going to be the 34th Ludum Dare, so far.

So I’ll get up at 3am (the LD jam starts at 4am, but I need at least 1 cup of coffee) in the morning and that sucks. Then I’ll start creating and setting up the projects (the game core, client and server), if I’m doing a multiplayer game, otherwise I’ll just create a project and start coding.

And just because I’m lazy and I don’t want to type anymore I’ll put the other things in a list:

• Coding, coding and coding…
• Adding some sprites, textures
• Some sleeping
• Going outside with friends for 2-6 hours
• Then coding as fast as I can, skipping one night
• Thinking how terrible my game is
• And submitting it in the last 5-10 minutes

Tools I’m going to use:

• Eclipse : as Java IDE
• Java : as programming language
• Paint.NET : as image editor
• Blender (if I’m creating a 3D game) : as 3D modeling tool
• LWJGL (if I’m creating a 3D game) : as Java OpenGL library
• Bfxr : as sound effects generator
• Chronolapse (maybe, with ‘maybe’, I mean around 15% chance to use it) : find info here

That’s what I’m doing during a LD jam!

Good luck, everyone 😀 And don’t forget the rule: “Just have fun!”

I want to ask you, what do you prefer, to create a multiplayer game, or singleplayer game. And I’m asking just because I haven’t done a multiplayer before (now I’m working on a multiplayer game), and I want to know, is it worth to risk with multiplayer??? 😀 Write your answer in the comments below.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, finally I decided what I’m going to use on the LD jam:

• Eclipse – Java IDE
• Java – Programming Language
• Tiny Sound – Java sound library
• Notepad++ (if needed)
• Paint.NET – graphics tool
• Bfxr – sound effects
• LMMS – music creation tool
• Chronolapse – timelapse creation tool
• Mischief-Free – for …….
• Windows 7 Home Premium – OS (obviously)

Good luck!

That is our progress so far. 😀

Nice intro screen, don’t you think. We’ve made the text to be animated, but we cannot show you on a plain png file :D, hope you like it.

Super Attack??? Good idea, so there it is, implemented in the game 😀

After our second day, we got almost our game finished. Amy managed to handle every request from me :D. And we got this, it’s kind of an endless runner (platformer)!

P.S.: Added screenshot taking feature, just press Up.

After around 2 days, me and Amy finally managed to complete our game and post it on itch.io and Ludum Dare as jam entry.

Let’s create Isometric world! 😀

Awesome mazes! 😀

Git repo and various textures (textures by amymist) added to the game 😀

Finally I managed to get rogue-like dungeon generation. 😀

Good luck everyone. I don’t forget to have fun.

Got nice menu and animations. As well as text rendering. P.S.: Fixed bugs and errors

This repo it getting bigger and bigger (over 17 important commits and around 3 “just for fun”).

Soon on GitHub.

Progress? Yup, kindof!

Added spikes and fire. 😀

Ludum Dare 36? Sounds exciting.

This time, platform = Linux Mint!
