I participated in the 0h jam by making a game where you collect blue squares while avoiding red rectangles.

Here is the timelapse: 0h Jam Timelapse

I’m going to go catch up on sleep now so that I can finish my Shark game! Night 😀

There are still a lot of things left to do, like adding a water effect (the shark is floating above the sea floor on a cushion  of air right now!), but it’s pretty great so far 😀

Also, I should probably add a goal and fix his tail in the movement animations 😛

That was an awesome MiniLD! I wanted to do a space game for ages! You can play it here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/minild-42/?action=preview&uid=15753

I decided to play with some new features I’m adding, ended up with this:

My game took a bit of a plot twist; now, the goal is to destroy the Earth. I have a second mini-earth in order to test scaling. He even shoots lasers and has a miniature explosion animation! 😀

You are here. If you don’t do something fast, it will be destroyed.

You’ll probably control some sort of a ship with a hyper-improbability drive or whatever it is, against Vogons. Yeah. 😀

Then again, I might change to do something more innovative. We’ll see.

Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted all of my timelapse screenshots. So, no pictures This will be brief.

What went well:
– I did music within the first few hours, so that was out of the way.
– I did sounds every single time I made a new feature that could benefit from sound.
– Paint.NET worked great as a level editor!

What went badly:
– I’m not any sort of composer, and I tried to do a complex musical piece. I’ll keep it a bit more simple next time!
– Something went wrong with my input grab methods. They seem to glitch out occasionally, locking you out from controls and sending you into lava.
– Wacky controls. I always struggle with getting these right.
– I think I spent way too much time playing around with the initial engine! It was just so fun D:

“Yes, it worked” refers to the fact that the level actually changed. That was my placeholder “level 2” that I made in a minute. The enemies chase you and wander in a straight line, occasionally changing direction.

So I finally got the basics down: Input, loading images, loading maps, entities. Time to add some enemies, block contrast, better art, sound, block collision…. 😀

I made a Java!

Java has the small little engine with sprite and music. Java good.

You can use it but it not very fixed. It have unfinished feature (sprite no rotate!)

Here is!

I had a really fun Ludum Dare, especially this being my first. I hope to see you all in 4 months, assuming the world doesn’t end! 😀

Here is the town so far, with all of the villagers exterminated shortly before taking this photo. Rest assured, there are villagers!
