Dumping the code to my incomplete ‘cabbage’ game engine here in case I use it. Won’t be sure if I’m going to be using it or not until the theme is announced.

cabbage.zip ~39KB

Just woke up and thought I’d upload yesterday’s timelapse in case I get hit by a bus today (whilst sitting at my desk) so that you may all mourn the loss of what surely would have been a very mediocre game

Well that was fun. Game is buggy as a buggy bug bug bug no imagination left. Need to go away for a while and not think about Ludum Dare for a few hours. Forgot about memory management so everything is just dumped into RAM, which is fine if you dont mind my crappy game using over a GB of your memory :).

I recorded a timelapse video which I’ll upload sometime soon.

Well done everyone

Voxel in. Unity. Move along

Fairly sure no-one has ever been disqualified for failing to post an ‘I’m in’ LD post, but WHY RISK BEING THE FIRST?

Not committing to any particular tools until I see the theme, but I’d suspect Unity is in with a strong chance.

So I’m temporarily relocated to the top of a mountain and it is snowing, I am very tired and I will probably not have Internet, not to mention I’m supposed to be here to interact with the humans that live here on a permanent basis, but despite all that I’m going to see if I can cobble together a quick entry so that my close friend Devlin is not disappointed by my absence.

Also I just wanted to write an I’m in post and contribute to the server load at this most critical of junctures.

While you’re all going gaga over this LDs hilarious joke theme I think there’s a serious message that needs to be shared.

Also I’d like to point out that I’m currently on a lot of really strong painkillers which may have influenced me during this.

[blatant self promotion warning]

An idea that came up for me during a few ludumdares combining a tile matching puzzlegame with anagram solving. I never did end up using the idea during ludumdare itself, but I did make the game, which is currently available for free so I thought I might share while I’m still in a good mood before the current LD results are announced and I go into depression/hibernation/the liquor cabinet:

GemWords is currently free for Windoze/OSX/Android from http://voxel.itch.io/gemwords

Depending on whether I go 2D or 3D I’ll be using:

Haxe with OpenFL; Asesprite

or

Unity; Blender

or

Quiet sobs of failure under the blanket of shame

I come from the year 2027 where gamejams are banned and the only permitted form of recreation is cybermurder. I have travelled back in time by opening 1024 tabs in Chrome to learn your gamejammly ways; that I may return to the future with this forbidden knowledge and topple the beneviolent hyper AI that rules the planet. Wish me luck

Making some progress on my horizontal shmup x farming game combo

I'm in, for what I anticipate will be my last Ludum Dare.
