My game uses words as objects to criticize the abuse of the technology advances that makes me desiring to be an successfull indie developer instead of a happy one…
You know, the last jam i coded my brother game and this time i’m doing a game for the 28contest and another with a friend for the jam version

You only start getting one feature / gift in your life, love,health or money. Then, s** in life happens: illness / diseases, be deceived, bankrupt, robs, and so on , so you have to survive in the tunnel of life, to the end or die, this universe is a plane where people and things are affecting you. Will you achieve the final goal of your life? your desirees? we will see…
The first time I entered “Ludum Dare” I had an accident the next day, a car broke my leg bones into many pieces, I was injured more than a year because of that.
During my time in the hospital I was making games with the iPad and a notebook, then I realised that Internet and games were too good for me to keep me away from the pain of my leg.
This year, I had not any intention of doing the october challenge, but one day my fathers came to my place to visit and have dinner, my father told me that one of his patients, a cancer child would like to have a game of reindeers, which it actually let you to name ,train and send it to give presents to all the children in the world…so, I decided to make his game, for free, not even 1$, where you can do all those things magically and where you also can leave a message of effort, peace or love to all those children who are living a life surrounded by that darkness-illness.
Here it is the video:
I was going to do a game with a vampire in a train, I already had the train, the wagon ,the casket and I was animating the path,… adding particle fx to the chimeny of the locomotive, and just after add the casket to the rear part of the train, inside the wagon, i set the animation to open the doors ,both for casket and wagon, I already have the algorithm to detect when the vampire is hide from the spot-light (sun)
and suddenly …
i felt something strange, the wagon door had a blood texture and it does not feel like something I would like to make, I really didnt want to create more blood games, or vampires…no…then I was looking to the ground of the scene,i feel like added an ocean, some rails, set animation and then it appears: this
that’s a game I definitely want to do.
Games are tailored like the script of a theater play.
I used to compose this play as a three acts.
#Act 1:
traveling
#Act 2:
surviving/fighting
#Act 3:
eating
so, this is the script:
You are a vampire, you have to sleep during the day while traveling in your train because your enemies forced you to keep moving.
When you wake up each day you have 10seconds before you get burned , to avoid the sun damage find shadows and something to eat which can increase your lifetime
some explanations…
The game needs two people, I think it is important to play with other person from time to time, with this videogame I want to help people to get friends more near
I made this game with ShiVa 3D engine, one of the 14 best game engines out there right now…well, time for you to evaluate!
It’s the first time I read the topic of the LD so soon and before I read it I knew what I wanted to do, in fact, some of you said to me that in my previous game, from the #LD24, the protagonist was a demon god o_O, I thought it is a bit ironic and funny at the same time I must say, that I know what I’ll do now, but hey, here it’s almost 4 am and I have to go to sleep to be healthy tomorrow, and I catch a cold! atcwahhh
Well, so far, stay well!
I’m here to say that my game “Egypt Wizard” has had 2 buys, yesterday , 6 of November still doesnt count, but I feel like a win, the game is unfinished, but keep growing very fast, a new update is waiting for review and i’m preparing the versions for Android and Bada markets.
Here some screenshots from updated version.
There is a lot of new stuff in the game, lot of hard work and fun.
Have you ever dream about travel throught existence planes? to another universes? Can you believe in your own magic galaxy?
This is the idea, no more bored menus to choose the level, now, you click play and open your ocean of levels, where you can invoke the monsters you already defeated in all those places.
These days I’m coding levels with the level editor in XML and adding new fx with meshes
this is crazy!, just one day more! markets are waiting!
