First Ludum Dare for me, and I’ll be entering the fray with my brother, him on the programming, me on the art side of things.

He will be using Game Maker Studio for the programming and interaction design, while I’ll probably be using a wide array of art tools, depending on what sort of style we end up going for.

(probably at least Photoshop and Maya)

Good luck to all of you guys!

Being in an unfortunate time zone, we just got started about 2 hrs ago. I’ve just done the first layout sketch for the game, and will start knocking out assets next.

Meanwhile, Arne is in full swing on getting the first pass on the code down. I think he’s working on wall jumps as we speak!

Ok guys, we’re just back from the obligatory pizza break, and I figured I’d post a quick update.

I’m still working on all of the assets for the level, trying to put together a sprite sheet for Arne to pick stuff from.

In the meanwhile, he is churning away at the mechanics and other programmy things.

Another quick update on our delicious jam, more sprites and more interaction.

I’m about a third of the way so far on the sprites for this thing, and Arne is now starting to swap out some of the standins for the real thing.

You’re welcome to stop by on twitch and check things out as its going on. We are unfortunately only able to stream my screen, so it’s pretty much all art all the time over there.

But if me making a mess in Maya and Photoshop sounds like funsies then come on in!

So, after grabbing a few sorely needed hours of sleep, we are back at it and trying to git’er done.

I’m working on cranking out the last of the sprites and the background texture, while Arne is fast at work duct taping it all together.

I’m putting the stream back up in a few minutes, so you’re welcome to stop by www.twitch.tv/spoilars. Just don’t touch anything…
