My online nickname is tinykidtoo. I have started to want to make games. I have never finished one but have made a bunch of stuff in unity for about a year now. I have been waiting for a good time to do the ludum dare or any kind of game jam. Im really excited to participate.
I will be using:
blender
Unity
Stayed up for a while last night (most of the night) so before I inevitably pass out, I want to share my progress. But basically I went for a Japanese game show design. with an over the top stage (not made yet) and 3 challenges to be completed in ten seconds or you die.
That has got to be the most fun I have had staring at a screen and pulling out my hair. But I made it and although not what I thought it would be it here http://www.kongregate.com/games/tinykidtoo/ten-seconds-or-die So when is the next one?
I’m glad I joined in on the fun for the Ludum Dare. This was my first game unless you can count a four line program from when I was 8 years old. Well it was my first push into actually finishing a game. When I don’t have a deadline I work on a project hoping to finish it but of course I say to myself keep it simple. 1 week later from the moment I say keep it simple i’m trying to make my own AI and every other extremely complex thing under the sun. The challenge of making a game in 48 hours was good because I knew I could not do this. So I went with an idea then stripped everything I could till it was done. I then added more to it but not something I could finish in the time I had. This seemed to be the best method to making a game. Hopefully another LD will come soon because I can’t wait to have a good solid, non changing deadline.
So far its going well, saying that this is only my second game. This is event is my favorite thing ever and I am sad that there is only 19 hours left. But I do feel that my game is going well. The controls feel okay and the graphics are better then horrible. So it seems I might get something done. I am still hoping to add more levels and a boss Fight.
Finally finished with this game. I was really happy with how it turned out. I was hoping to put in more levels and a boss fight but the boss fight took most of the last day of development. Well I hope to play some other awesome Ludum Dare game. And I hop you like mine. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1jG4k4U1BfLVnpwUzQxbmt2STA/edit
My mind is running in circles thinking of every possible theme and what I would do with it. I just can’t wait till it is revealed. This time though I really want to put some sort of story in it. I feel that I am finally ready to get a little more complex. This will be my third game jam.
Tools I will be using:
Unity
Gimp
Blender
Audacity
Made it through another ludum dare, but failed to make my game simple enough to complete and polish. I just had enough time to get it all in and working?! This was due to the fact that I wanted to make a real stealth game based on Ai. I knew it was gonna be hard but it really messed me up a lot. Well you can try it here at( http://www.kongregate.com/games/tinykidtoo/lurker
Well it as well as it could have gone. I get some AI that chase you and patrol. The bad part is that took the entire compo leaving a few hours for the actually game and debugging. I guess I should have planned for something simpler:( If you are interested in playing it can be found here. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=25245
Well after a long night of rushing to finish. I missed the October 31 deadline. Just bad planning on my part didn’t think some menu work would take a full day. Now that it’s over im am super happy to announce my first game that I released. This challenge has changed me. I learned how to make art assets I thought I could never make. It also helped me learn more about coding. Although now its time to sleep and rest after a long month. Hope that you guys like my game. It was fun to make, and its available at http://www.desura.com/games/king-of-the-dungeon. Now It is time to go play other peoples games.
Well as the title states I can’t wait to drink gallons of coffee and stay up into the obscene hours of the night. Hoping for this ☃ theme. I have no idea what that means to me but that is the fun of it right. Also artificial life would be fun but I think the christmas emoticon will be my first choice. Can’t wait to get started and good luck to everyone.
Finally got gravity to play nice with my game. I am making a top down survival shooter. It will take place on a desk, in a ratz style game. The goal is to survive as long as possible but your only weapon is a gravity gun. So you have to pick up the office supplies and shoot them at the enemies as they attack you.
I finally finished my elf model. My game need some christmas cheer so I added elf enemies. I spent too long on this but it was worth it. I hope the animations don’t mess it up. Hope to finish them soon, but that is not my strength.
Got it submitted a couple of minutes ago. As always its rough but its a rats style game where you have a gravity gun style weapon. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Wow I can’t wait till theme announcement on Friday at 6:00pm here. This is gonna be so much fun. I am looking forwards to trying new things. I want to approach the design phase with the most simple Idea I can and add a story as simple as I can make it. Just I have never tried this and all my Ludum dare gameshave been overcomplicated. So i’m looking to make this a little easier on myself.
I will be using these tools:
Good luck to all, and have fun.
I think the progress that I have made so far is good. I have basic gameplay and some basic building mechanics. I need to add more to the game to create a more in depth gameplay as its luck based right now. I also need to add characters and animation tommrow so lots to do still. I can feel my brain starting to fry from missing my normal sleep schedule. So i’m gonna go to sleep and get a start on the rest tommrow. Hope the jam is going well for everyone.
The after dare coma is setting in and the sleep is overtaking my thoughts. But my game is up and ready to face the world. Now I need to sleep so I can face the world hope everyone has fun with it. http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=25245
Hey this is my, (counts on fingers) too high count, Ludum Dare. I am always scheduling things on these weekends. I am in and i’m going for simple but I think I have already overshoot that goal by a mile. But hey that is life so now it is how to make my idea as simple as possible so I can put an ounce of polish on it for once. I can’t wait to see mine and everyone else’s creation.
Wiped is an understatement but its being uploaded for better or worse. Hope you guys like it. I personally looking forwards to playing some games from the community.
