I'm excited to finally be participating in another Ludum Dare! It's been a while since my last one and I think I've come a-ways in my abilities.

I'm using Haxeflixel, Pyxel Edit, and Logic Pro.

It took me a bit to come up with my game idea but I think I've got something that could be fun... Maybe. It might be too ambitious of a project but I'm looking forward to the challenge.

I'm doing some streaming this time so come check me out! https://www.twitch.tv/seanw265

And heres a sneak peak of some sprites so far. Art has never been my strong suit lol.

Whelp. I tried to keep my scope limited. I really did. But I think I may have overshot. Going to do everything I can to make this game happen though!. Wish me luck!

I've got a lot of the core mechanics in the game but I'm not finding it fun enough right now. It needs more. And it needs to be better!

I spent some time working on the music for the game today and I wish it came out a little better. It feels a bit dark for the game I've been making. Oh well I can always tweak it!

Reminder: I'm streaming a lot of the development for this game on Twitch right now! https://www.twitch.tv/seanw265/ Come hang out with me!

And here's a gif of what I spent the last little while on:

Finished my second night of coding. It's pretty late. I'm feeling better than I did before! Still don't have a finished game but it is a lot farther along than it was last time I posted!

It's starting to feel like there's something to do in it!

I've got a list of things to do tomorrow before the submission deadline comes. The biggest thing is to add "days" where at the end of every day the nearby city collects a bunch of power units. If you don't have enough you lose! Or something like that! We'll see.

Remember to check me out on twitch tomorrow! https://www.twitch.tv/seanw265

Here's our plucky rancher!

And heres some of what he's got on his ranch!

Good luck to everyone else!

Hey! Hows about we make a deal? If you play and rate my game and leave a comment, I'll give your game a look too!

I'm in!

I did LD39 and loved it so I'm here again!

I don't have as much time this go around because of school but I should be able to get something made!

Here's a peek at what I'm working on!

It's coming along!

My last post was just a mockup. Here's a gif of some early gameplay:

Almost finished!

I still need to add a few things like a title screen and an ending screen. Maybe with a scoreboard... Not sure yet.

Here's a gif of where it stands:

So I'm all done! Link!

Ported to HTML5 too! Haxeflixel makes it relatively easy although I did run into a couple issues. It turns out if you compile in debug mode, there's a bug with Haxeflixel where if the game loses focus it freezes and can't be restarted. So take note Haxeflixelers. Could save you a few minutes.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! Feels like an improvement over last time.

I didn't stream myself this time. I think next time I participate I'm going to stream it again. I missed having people looking over my shoulder and watching me code. It was nice having the audience interact with me and give me advice on where to take my game.

I'll try to do a full postmortem in the next week or so but in the meantime... PLAY MY GAME!

Heeere's another link to my game!

So it felt like this time around I had way more time on my hands. Even though I didn't. This time I had classes and group projects to work on for school. And yet I feel like my game came out stronger and more polished than LD39. I didn't stay up all night working on it and I got to eat normal meals, as opposed to working through food.

Probably because the scope of this game was a lot smaller. But maybe also because I'm learning haha.

Overall I'm happy with how it turned out!

Pretty cool.

If you haven't gotten a chance yet, play my game!

Also don't forget to follow me on Twitter!

Play my game!

Proud of this one. Here's a link to my game if you haven't played it yet!

Super excited to be throwing my hat in the ring again!

Last Ludum Dare I tried to pace myself and not let it overwhelm me. I hope I can do that again.

I was super happy last time with my results. Especially the Audio and Humor categories! They were a big improvement over LD39. I hope I've still got a little magic left in me and can come up with something original again!

As usual I'm expecting to use Haxeflixel, Logic X, and Pyxel Edit.

Good luck to everyone participating!

So I finally got a chance to start working! It's going to be a racing game mixed with one of those burger building games. You're a burger that got ordered and you've gotta deliver yourself. But you don't have most of your ingredients yet. So on your way over you've gotta pick them up! Or something like that. Probably gonna have to pick up the ingredients in the right order.

Exciting!

So happy to finally submit!

I'm hoping to do a full postmortem soon, this was definitely more difficult than LD40. In the meantime I wanted to share a couple of GIFs with you guys!

And here's a link to my game if any of you kind folks would like to play it!
