LD31

LD31 – Prototype complete!

First time having a go at LD. My prototype is basically done: Player, Target, Bullets, Borders, Bouncers, Loopers, Level Exit, Next Level Randomness.

Now the big question….. Art. What to do? probably best to stick with something abstract and just tidy up the palette a little.

Oh, and sound effects. How did I forget sfx. There’s fun to be had there 😀

Bug Fixes

Compo submission is over. Is it ok to change a sprite to add the words “Exit” (to clarify game mechanics)?

LD33

A friendly “IN” robotic wave from Waverton

IN!!

Missed LD32, was traveling for work. Now overseas, but locked and (phaser) loaded for LD33. I’m a little rusty, but got a basic template up and running, so feeling good now.

Tools:

  • Eclipse IDE (one of the myriad confusing packages that has javascript support)
  • Phaser v2.4.2, with P2 Physics (I should probably learn Phasers Arcade physic, but mid-jam is never the best time)
  • PhysicsEditor
  • The twin dragons, Inkscape and GIMP
  • Pen n Paper

Hey, I know that switching ide 12 hours prior to LD is never a good idea, but… I’m a preacher of jetbrains. If you need javascript, check out webstorm :)

Yeah I agree, Jetbrains do make great IDEs. I used Intellij IDEA for years at work actually, not so much lately.

The answer is #63

My first entry in LD31, ranked #63 for Innovation.

My second entry in LD33, ranked #63 for Humor.

In both cases, I hadnt exactly planned to target either category but half way through development I knew what each game’s strongest point was, and the ratings reflected it. Ah the fun of the jam. I wonder how the next one will go…

 

LD34

In, Out, In….. Out

I was in 31, out 32, in for 33.

Alas, I’m overseas for work over the LD34 weekend. So in keeping with my “in-out” tradition, I’m out for 34.

I will however, participate in spirit, by voting on themes, checking what is the final theme, and dipping in next week to try a few games.

Good luck to all those who participate.

Are we able to give ratings on Compo's now? I cant see a button?
