I’m in for the third time. 😀

Ludum Dare is always a good time for me to experiment with new stuff. Even though most of the time I don’t make an incredible game, I always learn a lot of new things.

Getting my workspace ready both virtually and physically.

I’ll use :

• Game Engine : Game Maker Studio
• Graphics : Photoshop CS6
• Music : Ableton Live 9.2 & Cool Edit Pro 2.0
• Drink / Fuel : Coca-Cola

I don’t even know where I’m going with my game anymore.
I got a working general mechanic now but I don’t know what gameplay I can make with it. :c
I think the game is not fun enough… It lacks something. If you guys have ideas, let me know.

Basically, you’re controlling a “molecule” around in space and the goal is to become the biggest by absorbing other smaller molecules.
However be cautious of the other bigger molecules as they can absorb you.

Here’s a few screenshots of the progress so far :
Possibility to have a 8 bit shader for oldschool sake

Here’s some in-game screenshot (possibility to zoom in / out) when you get smaller / bigger

You win when you’re the biggest

I want so bad to be in… but I have lots of work to do though. :c

I’ll try everything to do it.
If I manage to make it, I shall use these tools:

• Engine : Game Maker Studio Professional
• Art : Photoshop CS6
• Level Design : GM built-in tools
• Sound FX : jfxr
• Music : Ableton Live 9.0 & Cool Edit Pro 2.0
• Timelapse : Chronolapse
• Food and drink : Coca-Cola and chips.

This is going to be the first time for me participating at this event. (I finally can)
I’m very excited. I’ve done similar competition in the past.

I’m a french guy from Québec, Ca.
I’m going to try and develop a game for android / OUYA. (Never done that)

What I’ll be using (haven’t decided yet if I’ll use Game maker or Unity):
Language: GML or Javascript
Engine: GMK or Unity

Tools:
Compiler: Game Maker Studio or Unity 4
GFX: Photoshop,
Music: Ableton Live & Cool Edit Pro
