So it took me a while to pick one of my many ideas, wanted to try and go with something different at least. Will see if it turns out to be.
Here’s a lovely quick doodle

Hey everyone!
I’ll be taking part in Ludum Dare 35 and can’t wait. Hoping for a theme that’s awesome, but then that’s always what I hope for!
I will as per usual be using:
Here’s to an awesome Ludum Dare! This will be my 18th LD and I hope to try and post some photos…or photos of food during the jam. I’ll probably tweet a little more where you can find me @Catmoo
Hello!
I’ve badly been neglecting posting, so here is an image!
My game is going along ok, I’ve just got to make sure to get all my assets finished and all additional scripting complete. Feeling quite positive so far though.
Hello!
I will be taking part once again and this will be my 17th Ludum Dare!
Some of the themes so far have been interesting, and I still can’t believe Islands has made it’s way into the voting once again, I’ve already made a game for that for LD17 so I really hope it doesn’t come out the victor!
I will be using:
Looking forward to taking part as always, and here’s to a good theme that I like!
I will mainly be posting pictures of food, but will try to do little updates every now and again, although they will likely go on my twitter page @Catmoo
I’m looking forward to Ludum Dare 32 and have been since the date was announced! But then it’s always a great way to spend a weekend. Plus it’s always great as I have naughty food for the weekend to keep me going! Although I will try to be mildly healthy too I swear đ
I shall be using:
Script/Engine: Game Maker
Art: PhotoShop and Paint
Sfx: Bfxr and my voice/sounds around me
Idea generation: Xmind and chatting with @cptalbertwesker
I will also try my best to not leave audio till last and comment and post more on the blog!
Hadn’t done my taking part post. Here’s my desk it’s a little messy.
Will be using:
Game Maker
sfxr/bfxr
Audacity
XMind
Paint/Photoshop
I have a few ideas kicking around at the moment, but nothing I’m solidly happy with yet, just need to flesh them out a tiny more and then my scripting will get underway. It’s mainly a choice of picking which of my ideas approaches the theme in a way I want to deal with it.
Everything seems to be going well so far which is nice, got some good progress on the game, few more base mechanics to get sorted but then otherwise it’ll just be adding onto everything.
My little sandwiches contain pulled pork, and I believe I’ve made a little too much of, will show a picture later. Had a few scary moments where it looked like Game Maker was going to crash but luckily enough it was just a scare. Good LD so far!
Can’t forget breakfast! Especially when I need to be focused
Fairly simple marmalade on toast as I get ready for the crazy amount of pulled pork I made last night to last me through the weekend.
The game is underway and I’m getting some of the basic bits of script sorted and then I’ll get onto adding more to it. As per usual I’ll intend on doing the art and sound tomorrow and have the scripting wrapped up by the end of today. Doesn’t always go that well to plan but I’ll see what happens!
Gotta figure out my art style too, would be nice to do something a little different for a change too, shall see what happens!
Hello!
Looking forward to taking part again this month, got my pork slowly cooking in my slow cooker for a delicious pulled pork fuelled weekend. Along with cookies that I’m currently trying to resist eating (I’ve already eaten one!)
As usual I shall be using Game Maker, Photoshop, Audacity and potentially sfxr if I need any bleeps or bloops, or voices.
I’ll be aiming to participate in the Compo, however if anything goes terribly wrong I’ll have the jam for backup.
Good luck all!
I always seem to do this, and that is have my breakfast, lunch and dinner at odd times while making games in 48 hours. It’s from getting too engrossed in fixing bugs or creating assets that time flies by without even realising
But the game is going very well I reckon, it just needs to be made very pretty, or as pretty as I can get it. That and try and get some good fitting sounds in the game. While talking sounds I was doing a few tests earlier. Although a trip to a close by river is really required so I can get the desired sounds.
Hopefully the last 13 odd hours will go well!
So it’s almost the end of Saturday, things have gone well so far, perhaps a little slower than I like, and the idea of getting all my script done for the end of today is pretty much out the window. But hopefully I can get it done as quickly as I can to give as much time for art as possible.
As I never got round to baking my bread it’s chilli and tortilla chips for dinner, but it’s also quite a late dinner, I’ve just been so busy trying to fix annoying issues that the time flew by without me realising!
Progress is going well on the game, had a slight hitch that I was caught up on, but got it sorted now so I get to eat my lunch. Which happens to be a jacket potato with the chilli I made last night.
Still got lots to do though and as per usual I’m planning on getting as much script finished today and get the majority of art done tomorrow.
Full steam ahead.
Started getting hungry so decided to have a little breakfast!
Potato cakes and a nice cup of tea
As per usual I work up when the theme was announced, and slowly drifted back to sleep why looking up definitions and having a think, well I officially got up a couple of hours ago and started work on my game, and fleshed out my idea which I’m quite happy with the route I’ve gone.
Although I’m hoping my ideas aren’t a little too generic this time round and that it might be similar to other people’s games.
So I’m up and away!
I’ve also just popped the chilli from last night in a container for the fridge, made absolutely loads, I’m gonna have my lunch sorted for next week!
Now back onto the game and then it’ll be breakfast time soon!
Hello all!
Taking part again as per usual, hoping I’ll like the theme this time round!
Engine/Editor: Game Maker: Studio with GML and a little D&D
Art: Old copy of CS2 and my lovely Wacom that isn’t dead yet….
Music & Sound: bfxr, myself and anything around the house that is useful!
The food creating is starting now:
And then I just want to tidy my desk a little before the big sleep.
I’ll be posting on the blog again as usual along with on my Twitter
Looking forward to seeing what everyone creates!
Dinner time has been and gone and I decided to go with making enchiladas again this Ludum Dare.
The game is ok…probably not what you’d call a game though, really a minigame, and sadly the main function of it, cannot completely function correctly, which is the uploading of an image. Instead I’m probably going to have to make do with taking a screenshot in game that saves to where the game lives and then give the chance of posting within the game itself.
It does feel like I should have just spent the weekend doing what also needs to be done as I’m stressing out enough as it is. But for now I’ll make the game look pretty and then upload it.
I feel I probably shoulda gone with my fast food/coffee shop idea instead of the one I went with.
