I’m still not sure if I’m really in or not :D. Got a few other projects I wanted to finish, and then I realized last monday: oh noes! LD is on! Can’t…resist….must….participate…but…other…projects…
So if I’m really gonna participate, I’ll go with this:
– FLASH (for the first time. Sorry @gosu 😉 ), also probably Flixel
– SFXR, maybe wolframtones
– Photoshop
Awesome keynote @Sos btw ;). Didn’t see my name though, but those of other good friends.
HAVE FUN EVERYONE
Damnit! I still have to cook! :D. If you’re wondering about the blue packages: it’s the spicy chili that you get with cup ramen. I always keep those aside for the times I make chili or similar ^^
like many others, i was also surprised to see the theme^^. i just woke up, and gotta say: this – is – friggin – awesome :D. a fun game theme!
let’s see what we can do!
heya, this is what i got up to now. spent the last four hours creating a level loader from png->level, though it looks very crappy. oh yeah, the game will be a platformer. what’s bugging me though is that i had an old tutorial of flixel, it seems which i followed yesterday evening, and only realized a short time ago that many functions are gone :/
left: the game, right, the level
i know i wasn’t sure if i want to participate or not, but when you’re in, you’re in i guess 😛
last thing ii can remember is that i made a sprite shit bricks. literally. damn, i’m tired, and my body didn’t really like me drinking too much coke. hands are shaking 😀
no big change between this image and the last one
enemies implemented with a box hunting other boxes and a box dropping smaller boxes. about an hour ago i hoped that drawn better graphics would raise my coding spirits, but after inserting them (see the mailboxes), it actually looks very ugly.
not really what i would call great
actually,i planned to got to bed at 2, and continue a few hours later. bam. overslept of course :/
this is my breakfast/lunch/don’t care. omelette and a mix of chili
creating levels for now
still…need..to…make…more…levels
should have made more elements. being creative is hard with limited objects o.O
There are still a few hours to go, but this is the line for me. Gotta work tomorrow :/. it was fun as always, and i learned something new (how to use flixel). next useful thing to learn for the next entry would be sprite graphics, if i decide to use flixel again, as i generally use to draw my sprites by hand. i resorted to paint++ after giving up with my tablet after around 28 hours into the game.
i’m not convinced about my entry. i could have done a lot more. platformers are soooooooo time consuming actually, beause you have to create soo much content oO. puzzle games are a lot easier for me.
wow! another weekend well spent!
Just woke up, dizzy, but posting….
I’m in! Escape it is, huh? So it’ll be Flash + flixel, cfxr, Paint.Net instead of Photoshop and now I need energy 😀
have fun everyone!
not that much to show so far, but still…
starting to visualize now so that i can use taht as my red thread
personal highlight so far: using GraphicsGale for the first time (see Tools) and so far, it’s awesome!
Motivation: running dangerously low
Need food
Bam! not that many status updates….why? server was DOWN :D. the brighter side of this actually is that it shows that a lot of people are in for LD, and that’s good stuff! thanks for the guys of LudumDare to take care of this matter so fast^^
so here are still a few images from before that i wanted to share. showing progress yesterday evening and some images i made with graphicsgale
pythong here with jlnr. And the goomba will be with us as well!
And yes, vitamins is good for coders, too 😀
First draft and took …way too long. And I don’t even like it :p. There’s no fun
Also, I don’t want to do a platformer, as I did that last time. Still want to make something though, so I can’t just abandon LD
Therefore…I might be going into a completely different direction. Stay tuned
I got an idea. An idea I can work with. Plus the easter egg kittens will be there 😀
Started coding! The game ‘AHHHHHHHHHHHH KITTENS (working title)’ now has a different working title, which I can’t tell you until submission :D. Also, I spent the last hours spriting, which was kinda fun. Graphicsgale is great!
I call it Evil ‘Minyan’.
Still got a few points on my TODO-List, but right now, it’s bedtime for me. Here’s the progress so far
Yep, my avatar now got a pixeled version 
Yayyy before anything happens like last time, I rather upload my stuff now :D. Find it here. What suffers is the sound, I only added music and nothing like BOOM or similar, but actually, I also need sleep and I got work tomorrow -_-
This was fun. Saw many many many interesting screenshots and, wow, people got skills! Kept me going and going
Also, what was nice, was that jlnr, who showed me LD years ago (theme was Infection that time, I think), also did something. Hopefully he’ll post it, too
What was bad is that I actually planned to do 4 levels. Haha, merely got one. One divided into 4 chapters though, not noticeable for the player. Which also resulted in ‘only’ one boss
And yes, I deliberately had the kitten there ;). Too many people here posting about cats, I couldn’t miss out
Sorreeeh!
Hey LD guys, have you noticed that as well? I started voting, but when I click on ‘View xxxx’s journal’ I get this link
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/category/ld-22/?author_name=
when I add the name of the LDer to it, it works sometimes, but sometimes it won’t as well (probably because that LDer didn’t write anything). Fix it, pretty please (ö.ö)?
