In case you didn’t see the confusing title is a mix of I’m in! and Raspberry Pi minicomputer. My aunt and uncle recently purchased me one (Thanks a lot guys!) and its so far been pretty fun to mess around with even though i don’t have proper hardware for it. In fact, I’m using my gaming setup and giant monitor to run the little computer!

In other words, I’m in! I missed the last ludum dare because of a bad case of the flu I had which made it so I couldn’t go in. But not this time!

Yes that is ludum dare in the background

The contest comes to a slow end. ALMOST THERE! 7 1/2 hours! I can do it!

The graphics for the game are coming together nice, but I shouldn’t be working on polish if I haven’t even completed the story yet :/ Anyway, I’ll have time. I’m sure! Wait a minute, my song came on as I’m writing this, gotta go back to programming. Jaa neh!

Hmm

Whats this kappa?

And finally:

The animations are fixed and ready! We also have some pretty decent sound down already. Take a look:

Animation Fixes

Knife Attack:

Pistol Shoot & Inspect:

Revolver Draw, Shoot, & Inspect

SMG Draw, Shoot, & Inspect

Listing all the weapons would take too long so lets look at my favs:

Heavy Revolver Shoot & Inspect

\

AUG Shoot & (Bugged) Inspect

Awp Shoot, Scope, & Inspect

The most powerful weapon in the game in action: FN Scar shoot & inspect

THE ROME MAP:

I wonder where this goes?

Ohh. I wonder what is at the end?

‘

Rome is about halfway done, and Egypt is finished. Gotta do Middle Ages next!

Anyway, things going pretty nicely on my end. Good luck everyone else and thanks for you time.

Just the soundtracks so far:

Good News;

Bad News: I have only made one level, story is worse than a children’s book so far. Welp!

Also, I am experiencing a strange and infuriating problem with my animations, one that will not be fixed. I can only hope for the best at this point. I may start over (unlikely), or turn this game into something else.

I tried to get some sleep but my stomach hurt really bad Gotta get back to the game!

I like how some of these models are turning out. Samurai btw:

I tried

Same with this one:

Anyway, everyone back to jammin and good luck!

My idea isn’t too great. An Arena based game, each arena gives a knew and better weapon, better arena, harder enemies from different Era’s of ancient civilizations. Going for a voxel game. Who says the player has to use ancient weapons?

Tips For Ludum Dare!

I’ve been making games for almost 3 years I think, and in Ludum dare for some of that time. So I think I’ll give some tips for the upcoming ludum dare! Some of these tips might be really bad, I don’t know but I hope they help some people! Without further ado, good luck to everyone, and START SLAUGHTERING THOSE THEMES!

Making your Game

1. Don’t forget sound and music! Those are important parts to any game.
2. The Graphics don’t have to be beautiful (unless your targeting that Category)
3. Games are meant to be fun
4. You don’t HAVE to follow the theme. Remember there are multiple categories you will be judged in.
5. Make sure to plan out your game first! Starting too early may lead to success, or to you scrapping your game and starting over, wasting time.
6. Take shortcuts. After all, what actual player is going to be seeing the source code? All they will see is your game.

Outside Programming

1. Remember to stay hydrated! Water!
2. Don’t stay up any longer than you have too. Sleep is important!
3. Also remember to eat! Treat yourself, but don’t use sugar/caffeine too much or you will eventually crash.
4. Can’t Think? Stuck with a problem? Take a walk around your house, around the block, ect. Talk to someone.
5. Remember to tell your family/friends what you will be doing over the weekend, you never know they might even support/help you

My Personal Habits:

1. I actually have a notebook I’ve been using since my first Ludum dare thats filled with game ideas. Absolutely filled! Not just from Ludum Dare but from normal games as well. Its got little tidbits that might save me, things like, “You did this and it didn’t work last time, try this instead.” I recommend making a book like this, for ideas and clarity.
2. I’ve been starting to try and make the game much much too early the past ludum dares. Its only worked once, so make sure to think things through and plan your game.

I did have to finish this a little earlier, I will edit it later. Good Luck, I’m in!

Hi. Hola. 안녕 (I’m korean). Salve.

First off, thanks for anyone who rated my game for Ludum Dare, L.I.G.H.T., Here

This is my game.

I’m actually kind of proud of it ^_^

In my opinion, every jammer should feel like that. The past 2 jams for me were a little of a let down just because I didn’t plan properly. I didn’t for this one as well, but I managed to do a pretty bang up job, and bring it out.

This game was a blast to make. Now, I’m not gonna do the post mortem now, instead I have something to ask YOU the reader. I’ve decided that I might work on the post-compo, which I almost did but never did for previous games. I’ve been in 4 LD’s, and this is the second one I’m REALLY proud of. So lets get to work. My Post-mortem in 2-3 weeks will explain why I’m proud.

PLANNED CONTENT:

BUGS

Eye’s instantly die (working)

Improper/nonexistent Physics (fixed)

“secret” passage (fixed)

some others.

CONTENT:

Guardian mode (working, 1/2 way done)

More Maps (working on 1 new one, maybe work on generation)

Rewrite civilian AI script

Better UI/Menu

Powerups/unlockables

Now here’s the part where YOU come in.

I need some more inspiration. Just tell me what you think should be in my game. Thanks,
