Hello! This was my first LD competition. I remember how I a few years ago watched Notch (of Minecraft) when he participated in a LD competition and I was so angry that I didn’t have the same skills. Now a few years later, here I am with “Max Manus.” This is the idea:

” The occupation of Norway started with the German invasion on 9 April, 1940. Within a few months, the unprepared Norwegians accepted the inevitable surrender. But beneath the surface, a few Norwegians weren’t defeated. One of them was Max Manus.”

You can play it here

This is the story: “The Battle of Khe Sanh was a battle during the Vietnam War where the Khe Sanh Combat Base was surrounded by enemy forces. You’re the base’s logistics officer and the only one who’s connected to the outside world. Your mission is to keep the base alive until help arrives… 

…if it arrives.”

This is my 2nd LD competition and a large improvement compared with the last one where I hadn’t read the rules. The game is actually a combination from my favorite games from the last competition (the logistics from the drug factory and the small people who had to run around on the island)

I’ve already submitted the game and you can find it here:

Hello everyone!

I don’t know if this is just me (because it’s late and dark and cold here in Sweden), but when I exported a test version of my game from Unity (updated with the latest patch) to the WebPlayer, the WebPlayer gave me an error. And I’ve also noticed that some other people had the same error when I read about it on Unity’s forums. I’ve now installed a new version, and now it works. So it might be a good idea to export your scene before the deadline!

By the way, my armored “Pear” Saab is drivable after a few crash and burns :S

…and now I just need an entire game on one screen (and maybe a Corgi if time is not flying by)

I’ve uploaded “Kill Your Thoughts!” This is the idea:

“You are participating in a competition where you are making a game in 48 hours. If you are participating in such a competition you have to be able to fight thoughts like visiting Twitter, or drink beer, and feelings like “My cat makes better games than me!” To help you fight these feelings, your brain is actually using an armored Saab on the top of your screen.”

Play it here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=35585

…you can walk around like a Corgi over here: http://www.habrador.com/labs/ludum-dare/LD32-corgi/

It took a little bit longer than expected (had to learn how to animate in Blender and use animations in Unity), so God knows if I will have time to finish a game. But the Corgi can walk, walk fast, turn, move backwards, wag its tail. So at least I learned something new…

…because modeling is done. The Saab can also drive around and crush aliens, which will produce gigantic amounts of green gore. Now on to missiles to kill those nasty saucers (and a few other thousand items on the todo-list :S)

I’m finished! After the last Ludum Dare (when I crashed and burned) I had nightmares before this weekend (about someone stealing my supplies). Anyway, this is the idea:

An alien invasion has trapped civilians inside their houses. Your mission is to rescue as many of them as you can with the help of a Saab 900 Monster Truck.

Playable here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-33/?action=preview&uid=35585

…or growing trucks? Anyway, up at 7AM on a Saturday :S #eurotrash. Brainstorming until 9AM, came up with ideas like growing crops on Mars and various crazy things, but ended up with growing trucks. I have no idea where this is going to end up…

What I learned from the last competitions was to spend more time making the game fun. So the idea is to make something more simple and then spend a lot of more time making it more fun!

…is stop and go to sleep when everything is working as you want – then it’s easier to get started in the morning. I’ve had a terrible few hours with a failed road algorithm, but now I have another idea for tomorrow that will hopefully work out much better!

This is the deal: Santa Claus is down. I repeat: Santa Claus is down! To save Christmas you have to deliver the packages with your growing truck.

I’ve just submitted it here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=35585

…I’ve thought about the following:

• James Bond underwater car
• Osprey Simulator
• A-team van combined with Airwolf helicopter

…so feel free to steal them if you are out of ideas, because I’m going with another idea! It will not be easy, but as a certain Kennedy said:

We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.

My Spitfire can finally follow a path that you might recognize!

Alright, they can fly, they can follow what I’m telling them to do, and they can fire rockets at a target on the ground!

My ancient technology is manual traffic lights (Did you know that the first traffic light killed one person when it exploded?)

…but we need gameplay!

...and neither do we need more gameplay because my baby is finished! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/aircraft-carrier-simulator
