Hello, I just discovered this awesome competition and I want to say that I am in!! This sounds a lot of fun.

I dont know if it is possible to use game maker…

For graphics I use Paint, Graphics Gale and Photoshop.

Not sure about sound program…

Have fun!

I think I am kind of late, so in the middle of my rushing I forgot to post something here! So here are some enemies… I still don’t have a screenshot of the game because I’m covering graphics first. Enjoy.

Ok, so now you can se a first sceeenshot of my game! I’ve worked pretty much all of the graphics, and now to program everything…  I really don’t know if i’m going at a good pace or not… I hope I can finish in time!

Because I’m making a story game, I still need to do a laaaaarge world. Yeah, I hope I finish in time…

Here is a real screenshot of the game. I’m almost finished, but i still have a huge world to create and i suck at level design. Oh, and music. Damn.

I finally submited my game, but I’m not really sure you can reach the end! It had a lot of problems near the end so i got really nervous to fix it out. Hope everything is ok…

FLOWERBOT:

I had to fix the lag in my game so people would play it to the end. I also found out I had not tiled a part of the level, making it impossible to reach the end. I fixed all of that and it’s again in the competition. The lag is still present, yet, not so much.

For the actual game, I received a lot of positive feedback! Thanks to everyone who played, it is a great first Ludum Dare for me.

What I did right

People praised the game for the graphics, and I felt really proud of them. I think they create a good mood.

The engine felt really nice to play.

The ideia and realisation is almost all in the game.

What I did wrong

I only worked for less than 20 hours on this.

The level design isn’t that fun and challenging, and it didn’t convey the exploration part of the game I wanted it to be.

It was the first time I made such a large room, and I really can’t find the problem for it to lag over time.

Music was repetitive, but it was my first time creating music, and I wanted to create a music that evolved.

Anyway, it was a nice experience. Play the game! http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-24/?action=preview&uid=14205

What a pain it is to fix this lag… I’m not a very good programmer, so my brain hurts from this trial and error of fixing this annoying lag in my game, making it impossible for everyone for getting to the end. Alright, there are no more particles in the blaster! I hope it works alright now…

For those of you who played it and never reached the end, and want to reach it, you can play here (the end is not even worth getting, it’s just a last minute cutscene)

 i’m a lagbot

I know it’s a bit late, but just posting to show the results of http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-24/?action=preview&uid=14205!

I got #26 in the graphics category, which for me was huge ( even tough I was so close to the top 25!!).  I never thought I would get such a nice ranking, tough I confess I was expecting it to be the best rated category in my game.

#137 overall is great for a first LD game! Thank you so much, I promise I will be here in December, this time with a web game and not so horrible music 😛 Great community!

Alright, I won’t have the full weekend for this, but I will still be in!

I still don’t know what would my resources be, because I will try different things this time. Good luck to everyone!

Now that I add some time to do something, the game looks like this:

I feel very rusty, and it’s all coming very slowly, as I got stuck with programming… But I hope I get a good game running!

Play Rainbow Rocket here:

Finally I’m finished with this! It was fun to create tough, even if I feel it could be more polished. (maybe a story… why didn’t I started with a story??)

Now, wish me luck for a test tomorrow I didn’t study at all because of this… But worth it.

I’m getting really excited for my third Ludum Dare, but I don’t know if I’m ready yet!

Well, only sleep will tell. I will only know the theme 9 hours after it’s release, but I really need some sleep first… Good luck everyone!

I’m not that happy with the result, but I didn’t feel really inspired this time.

You can play Fireman Tem (silly name I know) here:

Even tough I know I could do something more meaningfull with the theme, I had fun programming and trying a diferent art style with this.. Hope you enjoy playing it

My first time posting in this Ludum Dare, so yeah… it’s a surprise game, even for me! I started out not very motivated, but here is the end result!

PLAY DOLPHIN DASH
I’m pretty happy with it, it plays good, it’s fun, and the artstyle turned out to be pleasing! I guess a more artistic kind of game has to wait 😛 Can’t wait to play all your games!

I wasn’t counting on participating this Ludum Dare. It’s my third jam in less than two months. But the theme was so cool that I gave it a try. I worked all sunday on this:

Give it a try, and try to complete it 😀
