Yes! I managed to complete all my tasks and have a free weekend just for Ludum Daring 😀

I really hope that I’ll have enough time to complete a game (I still have some work to do =\) and I’m not sure if I’ll go for the compo or the jam. But I’m definitely in!

So, my ninja weapons are as always:
I’ll be programming in AS3 using FlashDevelop.
I’ll be using the beloved FlashPunk library.
Graphics made in pixel art (GraphicsGale) or vector art (Inkscape).
Sounds and musics will be made using BFXR and SunVox.
A lot of chocolate will be eaten too..
And of course, live streaming! ( http://www.twitch.tv/galman33/ )

(Or maybe, if I’ll go really crazy.. Maybe I’ll make a 3D game using Unity?!)

Good luck everyone!
Happy jamming 😀

So this time I’ll be doing LudumDare on “Easy Mode”.
My weekend is full of tasks I have to do so I donwt know how much time I’ll have for LudumDare =\ But I’ll be OK! 😀
Tools:
FlashDevelop
FlashPunk
Inkscape\GraphicsGale
SunVox

Good luck!

I did it! I finally did October Challenge!

TapPong

Play Ping Pong live with your friends right on your phone with TapPong!

TapPong is a fun 2-player table tennis game in which each player can swing his paddle by tapping on the screen. Each player’s goal is not to miss the ball, if he did miss the ball the other player gets one point.

In order to start playing tap the screen once to serve the ball and tap again to swing the paddle.

*** Even more fun when playing on a tablet! ***

Exotic musics and sounds by Omri Lahav.

It was a really fun challenge and I finally I understand the whole process of making an applicatio\game from scratch and taking it to the market (more to come ). I made the game using HaXe and OpenFL which made my life really easy, and the graphics were made using Inkscape.

Only the last and important part of the challenge is remaining… making some $$$ 😉

That’s it! I consider it to be one of my best Ludum Dare games ever 😀

As always, I managed to somehow wake up naturally at 3:58 AM (2 minutes before the theme announcement) , saw the theme and then returned to sleep. I streamed the whole gamedev process and it was actually really fun, almost always there was someone on the stream chat and it was nice talking with you guys, thanks! When I first woke up in the morning I started writing down ideas and later I decided to continue with the first (and quite simple) game idea, actually, it turned out to be a good decision!
My main goal was to make the game as polished as I can and I think that I accomplished that goal very well. All in all, I had a lot of fun making this game, I had a lot of encouragement from my friends (which really helped me 😀 ) and I even had time to take a few naps during the jam!

I’M IN!
6th Ludum Dare in a row! That’s so awesome 😀

I’ve been so busy these weeks with the #7DFPS (which was great), the end of the summer vacation ( ) and fun “6th Israeli Games Unconference!” which was held today and I forgot to write my “I’m In!” post! So here is “My Late I’m In!”:

In my backpack:

• A mysterious language – AS3 (Flash)
  
• A powerful library – FlashPunk
• An amazing IDE – FlashDevelop
• Some ordinary drawing tools – GrpahicsGale\Inkscape (based on the idea)
• Some acoustic musical instruments – SunVox? Random generated music?
• A bit of refreshing food – Chocolate chocolate chocolate water chocolate chocolate chocolate
• Some primitive communication tools – Open Broadcaster (for the live streaming! 😀 ) and Twitter of course
• A large amount of encouragement – My friends and followers 😀 (Thank you guys, you are awesome!)

That’s it!
I think that I’m ready for our journey, see you on the other side..
Good luck everybody! And of course, make games!!!!!!!! 😀

Good morning Ludum Dare!

After a very hard night(only 2-3 hours of sleep) I decided to “wake up” at 7 AM. I was checking the LD site at 4AM to see what’s the theme, I can’t say that I really liked it =\. I already had enough of time thinking about an idea during the night so I started working immediately. My idea is still a bit vague but I do have a picture of the final game in my mind

Good Luck Everybody!

This was a tough weekend!

And yep, I did it again ,I made a game in 48 hours 😀 ( And the whole LudumDare community too of course :P)

As always I had a really great time making this game and I’m really proud of it. I think that my “graphic skills” really improved from the last LudumDare and that’s some great news for me. If I had some more time I would spend it on the “fine-tuning” part of the game to make it more balanced, not too easy, not too hard.

I was streaming the whole game creation process on Twitch and it was fun to talk with some other devs from times to times.

Thanks for reading! If you want me to play and rate your game too, don’t be shy

Wow, what an amazing day!

I think that most of my game is done so I’m really happy 😀 The only thing lef to to do is to add the upgrades mechanics and then I’ll be free to do the polishing and fine-tuning.

So good night every one, good luck for tomorrow and happy Hanukkah!

Hey, what’s up everyone?

Somehow, I woke up naturally at 5:00 AM to check the theme and then I returned to sleep. I started my LudumDare today at 8:30 AM and I’ve got my idea pretty fast so I have a lot of time to work on it

The basic gameplay is almost done: Selecting your warrior and moving. Now, I’m going to implement the collecting coins mechanic and adding warriors mechanic.

My live stream is working great so I’ll be happy if you drop by and say hello 😀
