First LudumDare: Day One Summary

LD44LDJam 27. Apr 2019 · 22:52 UTC · 46 hours after compo start by WTG · 4

Here we have it I'm done for Day One of Ludum Dare 44: Your life is currency.

Took it literally: the player, you, is actual currency (a little coin that rolls around). The enemies (people) will try to get to you and pick you up (game over), but you can avoid them by using objects in the environment to distract them, however these things aren't free and as you are currency - you lose some value (hp).

First example seen here is using a Vending Machine, throwing cans out causing a distraction.

I have.. a simple start menu, starter art and animations, movement and collisions, enemy states which including tracking the player, first actual game specific mechanic linked with basic HP and some room switching set up and ready to go!!

What y'all think? I'm pretty happy with the days effort!

End of Day 2

Well.. so much done today, including some firsts + I decided on a name (something simple)

I've never added sounds to a game before so that was fun - https://www.leshylabs.com/apps/sfMaker/ was insanely useful for generating sound effects.

Everything is complete apart from actually putting together the levels, they are mostly sketched out so finishing that and play-testing/bug-fixing is "all" thats left.

All this effort has serious impacted my poor old laptop - struggling to keep GM open and record video for a GIF update so instead heres a lovely screen grab.

Good luck to everyone!

My first ever Game Jam - its over!

It was a lot of fun but I am exhausted..

If you want a quick game to play (it doesn't take too long to finish) I'd love to have you take a look at mine (Plus all feedback is welcome!)
