Ok, minimalism…. I googled it and the first image it returned was a art piece by Piet Mondrian:
And my initial reaction was to create a casual puzzle/touch game so to break my pattern of platformergames and since I missed the “F this game jam” and I hate casual puzzle games I’m going to make a casual puzzle game.
Hopefully I can achieve something as I basically have no time at all this weekend.

I’m been awake for ~8 hours, have come up with a game idea, implemented parts of it, eaten breakfast, lunch and a few cookies, so far so good.
Current status
Earlier today
The mondrian image is currently randomly generated and the basic game idea is to place boxes and get scores. Hopefully it will be somewhat fun 
No more cookies

Well, it seems that I’ve manage to finish making a game and it doesn’t totally suck
Place colored boxes to destroy all the black boxes, but you can’t place two blocks of the same color next to each other and as soon as you place a block next to a black one the cascade of domino explosions start and when it stops if there are more blocks left you loose.
All that is left now is add a ton of polish to it and perhaps calculate the score for all the combinations and add some soft music.

select the colored box
So now some sleep, and polish before I have to attend to a party.

It’s roughly 5 a.m here and I’m tired. I’ve finished the game but for some reason the loading gets stuck at 0% when playing it online through the browser. Playing it offline seems to work though. It’s a 3MB self contained flash file so I don’t really know what’s wrong. Perhaps it’s some server issue but it seems impossible that both swfcabin and google code has problems hosting my game.
Anyway, I’m really tired and I might be overlooking something obvious so without further ado here it is in all it’s glory: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-26/?action=preview&uid=1135

It’s been a while but I’m in with a godzilla themed game. Choose your monster and fight in a pseudo 2d/3d world. Not sure what the goal will be but there should include city desctruction and monster fighting.
For the fun of it I’m going to program in a language I’ve written anything in (typescript) and use a framework I’ve never used before (phaser.io).
Ok, so I finally made a game in typescript, yay me!
It would probably be more of a game if I didn’t binge watched 8 or so episodes of big bang theory and a few movies, but that’s life. At least I learned some typescript and phaser and I’m definitely hungry for more As a C++ guy making the transformation to rust I find that the lack of error handling is horrible. Typescript is far better than javascript but some part of js shines through. Maybe next time I will use rust and emscripten as playing in a browser is a undeniable satisfaction.
