...and an idea!

Okay so I am now dead tired and I think it is time for bed after DAY1.

Here is a preview of my progress for today.

Nothing really to say except I am so tired today.

Hi, To whom it may concern...

I am all in this weekend and have an amazing idea for a game. My only concern is that I won't be able to fit the theme into this idea.

For now I will warm up and do some finger stretches to get lose.

Good luck to all entering this challenge and to all playing the awesome games made in this jam.

Thanks and good bye.

What is wrong with this blog?

I made some progress with my castle and next I need to get some trees in the scene. At least I can also now select tiles that are not currently occupied.

Now this is starting to be come fun.

I now have a random tree placement algorithm in place for the tiles which are not walk-able.

I am now a few hours in and I can already see how I am falling behind on time. Plus I have kids that keeps me busy. At least they give me some positive feedback and now I have minion houses in the game.

Check it out.

So after a few hours of relaxation and rest I can do some work again. Here is what I have now. The huts/houses after placement can now generate new minions every 10 seconds. The pink markers are target markers they move to.

So tonight has been really slow but I am getting there. My minions/village people can at least roam around in the kingdom and that was really hard to do. The population limit to my game is only 100 minions which means soon we will have to start making sacrifices. ...THAT IS GONNA BE FUN...

Last screenshot for day 1:

So today that is Day2 of LD43 is basically written of for me. I had a full day of non programming activities with the family which means I will not make the 48 hours time line. I will however try to make the 72 hours one.

So then what it my progress so far. 1. I now have some UI components in place. 2. And can build my first tower type. (Archer Tower)

After some enjoyable coding and trying to figure out Blender and Gimp I have some progress at the end of Day2. I can now build all my units in the game but that does not help me at all because they still need to attack and if that is not enough there is still no enemies to attack. So tomorrow evening will be a hard time coding.

Screenshot:

Today has some slow progress but getting there. Looks like I might sacrifice sound. I now have sphere like enemies. There are 3 enemy types for now, Green, Yellow and Red. LMAO

And that is that. I am finally done and will go to sleep.

Well you may ask what this game is all about and it is simple, defense. The main goal of this game is to defend your castle, build some defense towers, sacrifice some minions while building towers and of course to have some fun.

You may rate and play here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/43/castle-defense

An so 4 days and 17 hours until the rating ends I realized I need some ratings. Please have a look and give my tower defense game a try.

Castle Defense will keep you on the tip of your seat.
