Hello!

I’ve never done any game before, but I’m a huge fan of the LD since when I first saw Appy 1000mg by deepnight (hope he will be participating). I also watched the livestreams from notch (and the mojam) and really liked the way he was creating his games. So I decided to do my best and give it a try. I will be doing it the notch-style:

Language: Java (with Eclipse)
Library: none (don’t go the easy way, more coding = more fun!)
Graphics: Paint.Net
Sound: dunno, maybe some library and generated music

I’m aiming for only one goal: Just finish anything.

Good luck and lots of fun to everyone

So, after quite some hours here are my first screenshots:

Since this is my very first game, I aimed low and hope to just create a really simple game. Theme: You are a giant rat from space, stranded on some tiny planet. Since you’r a giant rat, you need something to eat. So eat everything you find. As you eat, you will increase in size and you can only eat foes of you size. There will be kittens, soldiers and tanks. Does this sound stupid?

Sound: 5% (only placeholders)
Graphics: 40% (no animations, but most tiles)
Game: 30% (collision detection is working, planet rendering is finished)

After my first game and first LD, I’m in for the second time. This time it will be the jam, as one of my friends is joining me. He will be doing the graphics and sounds, so I can focus on coding 😉 Nevertheless, this will be his first game, so we will mostly try to stay on the Ballmer Peak for 3 days 😉 Personally, I’m aiming to create a more polished game, as I was not satisfied with my first game.

Coding: Java with Eclipse (notch-style with no librarys)
Graphics: Paint.Net / GraphicsGale / Tiled
Sound: MilkyTracker or Steinberg Sequel

Good luck and have fun

This will be my third Ludum Dare and the second time being in the jam. My buddy unihumi will join me just like he did for LD24.

I will be doing the coding and he will be in for the graphical stuff as well as sound and music.

Coding: Java with LibGDX

Graphics: Paint.Net / Tiled

Sound: SunVox

We’re looking forward to a great weekend!

The first day is over for us, we got 4 levels, the concept and some art. The game will be a simple tank-action-game, WASD+Space for the movement. The color-palette will change in the future, the screenshot is with grid and collision-zones for debugging.
