We started this morning with our first LD.

This are the result from the brainstorming session:

greetings from switzerland

First picture of our running prototype:

The programs we us for now:

– Tiled
– PyxelEdit

Example worlds to test enemy’s behavior.

Adding now game play elements.

We laugh about the accidentally programmed game end.

Like the korean “horse” dance.

Screenshot from a world in the editor Tiled.

 

Playing now with the propertie possibilities.

World Traveler

It’s the first build. We will add more contend until deadline.

World 1 of post ludum version

Befor the Jam 

The combo started for us on 2 o’clock am on Saturday. We started to think about the theme on Friday.
I personally has preferred “growing” for a puzzle game. But when the final voting starts “planet”, “space”, “worlds” came up.
I also translated  the themes in swissgerman and ask my son’s (9) for a game in mind.
The best was chaos = cleaning the Child’s Bedroom.
For Connected Worlds it was something with a elevator.

Inside the Jam

Saturday
We start on 8 o’clock. While  I was driving to Sammakko, the closing elevator door was spooking around in my mind.
Our goal was every-time a working game.
So we started with 3 screens (intro, game and end-screen) and keep them running.
We think about using  Tiled for our main tool to build the worlds without knowing anything about it [-], a big mistake.
The end of the first JAM day was on 2 0’clock in the morning.

Sunday
I was creating the animation live on twitch the hole afternoon [-].
Loosing a lot of time.

Monday
Normal working until 4 o’clock pm, then starting to build content until 1 o’clock.
During the night I ask [+] dark3zz if he can help us with a matching background music from his archive. He gave us this beautiful peace of music.
**Thank You**

résumé

[-] never played around with the Tiled Map Editor
[-] never created a animation with Pyxel
[-] not jamming with kids around you

[+] ask dark3zz for background music
[+] Teamwork
[+] Keep the game running

 

It was a funny and very interesting experience.

– SourceTree for Git (bitbucket)
– Spriter (hope we can implement the project file)
– PyxelEdit
– Tiled

But no problem, i love challenges!

So here are the first screenshot about our game…

Thank you community

We have had a lot of fun creating and inventing our 2nd Ludum Dare game.
Many thanks to all the comments and inputs.

In this update we have:

• added 5 new levels – “10 levels now”
• slightly optimized the controls
• added a new element  – “yellow snow”
  
• take out the fire tile
• updated some graphics

You can try it out by yourself….

Keynote challenge is accepted!

We are switching from Java, Libgdx, Eclipse  to Godot Engine with gdscript

a huge challenge for me and sammakko our main java programmer

 

Finally, we are in a Momentum now, yesterday was very difficult, but after that depressing time, we have found a very nice game mechanic which works fine! A Stage which you have to defend from your Raging Fans

#gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

We are finishing and polishing the Game. Here’s the Teaser Image.

Rage the Stage was our 3 game and the first as a team of 3 people.
We accepted the challenge “why not try something new“.
So no Java and no Libgdx. A bigger challenge for sammakko as for me.
For our 3th game we used Godot Engine. I’ve had some training  with the MiniLD #58 – MuMoPo.

 

Preparation
Our only preparation was thinking during the theme voting about what game we can make with the themes.
Unfortunately, for An Unconventional Weapon we haven’t any cool idea!

Jam session
dark3zz (soundcloud.com/dark3zz) has joined us for the first time with his amazing equipment.
For us, he was big source of inspiration and pushed us forwards.

What worked out well
– teamwork (first time working in threes)
– no major problem with Godot

What didn’t worked out well
 – only on the last day we had a working game to play and improve the gameplay.

Need improvement
– no more music game and no more e-guitar

Many thank’s to
sammakko – the main programmer
dark3zz – master of music

and YOU – for helping to improve the gameplay  and voting

Unfortunately could not finish the game.

I used crocotile3D to build the 3D model.

Sneak into houses, find the right bed, roar near pillow and scare the sleeping resident!

 

The game was created entirely (music, sound effects, graphics) in the jam days, no prework were done.

As game engine we used godot.

You like to create games more visually (like me) than you need to try it out perhaps it fits your workflow.
