I have no idea what I’m going to do if ☃ wins. I’m not very excited. If I manage to have an idea, this would be my fourth Ludum Dare overall.

Tools

I’ll be using:

• Sublime Text 2 and vim for editing code.
• git for source control.
• LÖVE for framework (with basecode).
• GIMP for general graphics & editing, GrafX2 for pixel art, and MyPaint for other art.
• Ardour (with my AT2035 mic & Focusrite Scarlett 2i4) and SunVox for sound and music.

Here’s my basecode repo. It’s CC-3.0 Unported, so feel free to use it! I am again using rxi’s lurker and lovebird libraries.

This will be my third Ludum Dare overall. I made Prisma for LD #26 and dropped out of LD #28 because I didn’t like the theme (which I would’ve been subsequently interrupted from anyhow).

I’m currently in California with only a laptop of limited memory capacity, so I won’t be streaming. I’ll be attending Apportable’s meetup in San Francisco for at least the first night.

Tools

I’ll be using:

• Sublime Text 2 for editing code.
• LÖVE for framework (with basecode).
• GIMP for general graphics & editing.
• GrafX2 for pixel art.
• MyPaint for other art.
• bfxr and SunVox for sound.
• Bosca Ceoil and/or SunVox for music.
• Ardour with my AT2035 mic & Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 preamp for recording audio.

Here’s my basecode repo. It’s CC-3.0 Unported, so feel free to use it! I’ve updated it to use rxi’s lurker and lovebird libraries this time around. Hot-swapping should make iteration a lot more rapid.

If the theme is enticing enough, I’ll take a jab at it. I’ll use LÖVE and this as I did during LD26.

Because I missed the submission deadline for the Compo, I decided to work on an R2 to fix some things.

I reworked & moved around a few levels, and added a world selector at the end of the game.

I updated the entry with the new build, so here’s that again.

Going to build & upbloat timelapse video later tonight, if I have the time.

EDIT: Here is the timelapse!

EDIT: I made an R2 with the hours remaining in the Jam.

EDIT 2: Here is the timelapse!

Achievement get! Completed first Ludum Dare.

The thingy

Prisma is a color channel-based puzzler.

I didn’t get as many levels in as I wanted to, but I’m fairly happy with it. I had plans for a lot of different triggers, but didn’t have enough time to put them in (probably a good thing, considering the theme is minimalism). This is my first experience with LÖVE, and my first huge anything written in Lua, so I had a few things to shove in my brain.

I also apparently missed the submission deadline for the Compo. I did not realize that was so strict. Anyhow, here’s the entry itself. I worked on it for roughly 34 hours.

Downbloat!

For Windows, just extract and run prisma_r1.exe. Hopefully the world doesn’t blow up.

You will need LÖVE 8.0 on Linux, though it might also work with 9.0 — I haven’t tried. Run love prisma_r1.love, and it should just magically work.

No Mac build yet, sorry! It should be easy to run the .love if you have a LÖVE 8.0 build. Stay tuned.

EDIT: Check out the entry page for links (linked at the top of this post). R1 has a bad README for you Windows users out there, so if you actually want to read it, it’s fixed this time for sure, probably, I hope. Windows needs to get with the times and adopt UTF-8.

• Windows
• Linux
• README (included in Windows zip)
• Source code

Controls

• Move: arrow keys
• Action: space

Other stuff!

I streamed & timelapsed the whole she-bang. Videos from the stream can be found here. I’ll have the timelapse up on YouTube soon.

If you find something horribly wrong (excluding the “boss level”), yell at my Twitter: @komiga.

Now I am going to sleep for weeks.

First Ludum Dare! Woohoo!

Tools

I’ll be using:

• LÖVE for framework (with basecode building on top).
• GIMP for pixel & general art.
• MyPaint for non-pixel art (possibly).
• bfxr for sound (falling back to sfxr if something terrible happens with Adobe Air).
• And nothing for music! Don’t know what to do about that.

Still working on basecode. I’m planning on declaring around ~4hr before the Compo starts. Might have to overflow into the Jam if life gets in the way, but it’s looking up so far! Here’s my basecode repo. It’s CC-3.0 Unported, so feel free to use it!

Streamtastic!

I’ll be time-lapsing AND streaming! My Twitch channel is hereabouts. It’ll be a disaster! I’ll probably end up tweeting some manner of nonsense, too.

Declaration edit

Declaring at commit 86dc6389f4. It’s wrong, all wrong! But I’ll figure it out.
