LD23

I’m in

Hi I’m Thomas a just post grad programmer from Sydney.

This will be my very first time doing a Ludum Dare. I’ve done a handful of gamejams before but never alone, I mainly practice programming and have minimal skills in all the other areas of game dev, So the end results will be interesting/horrible.

I’m planning to use Unity for the development.

Well that wasn’t so bad

First Ludem Dare done!

It’s a puzzle game inspired by aspects of Fez.

Play Phi here:

This was my first LD but more importantly the first time I had attempted making a full/playable game completely by myself in any short amount of time so I was unsure of what the results would be.

But, I did it, and I’m quite happy with it. I just had a friend play test and he figured it out easily enough.

Hope to do this again.

Vol

Just realised I have forgot to do a “I did it” post so here it is, delayed and all.
You can check out the game here:
Vol on Ludum Dare

This was my second LD and I’m pretty happy with how everything turned out. I went in wanting to make something that feels, looks, and sounds a little different than normal (or just crazy) and I think I did pretty well with that.

I also wanted to focus more on presentation this time, and unfortunately I had to make the decision of sticking with the theme more or polishing what was already there. I chose the latter though I’m happy I did.

Oh and here’s the time-lapse:

Until the next LD!

I’m in for Ludum Dare 25.

Will be using Unity and hopefully will use Django as well.

In.

In once again for LD.

I’ll be using mainly Unity for development and maybe Django for some online features but it depends on the game.
