Hey guys,

Our Ludum Dare 33 game is now finally starting to become something.  We had to start 3 times as each other time before we either over-complicted things to the point at which we had no idea what was going on any more, or we over structured the code to the point where accessing things became either really difficult or impossible.

Now, on the 3rd attempt, I finally have map rendering going and I’m just about to implement collision detection.  Here is a pic of what I have so far:

Hopefully everything from here should be smooth sailing…

I have setup a Discord server for those taking part in Ludum Dare!  People can come together here to share ideas, show off what they have made thus far, and just have a chat.

If you would like to join, then here is the link: https://discord.gg/0vg52oQolOvVQ91x

After a few hours of trying to get small things working and making stupid mistakes I finally have something that is beginning to look like a game.

Left and right movement is all that works now, as well as the start of the main game mechanic.  Gravity is next on the list.

A few more hours in and my ideas are finally starting to fall into place and a game is appearing!

The surface that you’re standing on can affect your motion, be careful.

Finally, I’m getting somewhere.  The game mechanics are getting fine tuned and are nearly implemented fully.  Time for some sleep, progress will continue in the morning.

I have finally finished.

Holy moo! I’m done, finally!
