I am Pyro! Ready for my first Ludum Dare!

My first Ludum Dare is in 35 minutes! HYYYYYYYYYPE!!

Wow! My first LD has been exciting! So, I took the theme and decided on a small-scale space survival game with tower defense. Game work is so different when you know exactly what you're trying to do! It feels harder in a different way, and like it's doing more! Good luck and good night, everyone!

...I've been in for a while.

Uuuugh. Whatever. Still not giving up.

AND IT IS SO BAAAD

Well, I had fun, anyway! And next time will probably be better!

I really can't wait for the next Ludum Dare! PUUUUUUUUUUUMP'd!!

I've been wondering. My current username does not appeal to me anymore.

Hi! I'm ouchyzapgun. Believe me. Ignore my actual username. Last time I did Ludum Dare, I had lots of fun (and stress) and made straight-up garbage. This time, I'm going to be more organized, try not to write garbage code and document the whole thing in screenshots. Also, I'll try not to do what everyone else is doing. (games about floating small worlds in space, lol)

I'm going to be using Unity and Blender. Kind of wish I knew how to use something other than Unity but blah.

Good luck, everyone!

My darn username is not fitting to me anymore.

I don't want this jam to be as stressful as another one that I had. Yikes, that one hurt.

Always remember to clean up as much as you can before game jams. Your jamming rate will be increased by like 60%! I like to take a shower before starting anything big if I haven't done anything yet.

Good luck, everyone! Have a good time!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

aaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm making a derpy mystery solver game!!

These are the most diverse and creative Ludum Dare games I've seen so far! So cool!

I feel ultra sick.

My game turned out to have systems too complex. I didn't plan them well enough or realize that I would have to create them so they're super buggy. Most things in the game don't work out like they should. This is disappointing because I missed last LD and I don't think I can do it on Sunday. I also wanted to do better this time and it's only my second time. Super stressed.

I made a game about saving bald people from ghosts by shooting dem. But at first it was a mystery solver! On day 1, I was bogged down with LOTS of bugs. I didn't plan while thinking of what systems would have to be made. (lesson learned) So I was stressed out and worried if I'd make it. My project was crumbling.

I talked about it online and got the helpful suggestion to turn it into something else last-minute. (Thanks again, guys!!) So I thought about it whilst taking a shower and set out to use its assets and a few new ones to turn it into a top-down shooter thingy. And it turned out pretty good over the last day!

It was an amazing transformation. I used an old tutorial image as a bullet trail as a very inside joke. The bald suspects are now people who fall out of the ghosts that you can swap guns with. And the ghosts' faces are an unused suspect face.

This was a good time! Maybe next time I'll make a better Marty the Hatted, like the Rude Bear thing. Haha.

You can play it here, people! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/marty-the-hatted

Don't judge until the Jam ends!

My game is now cooler than ever before and there are like 12 minutes left in the jam!
