It looks like I’ll have time for Ludum Dare this weekend! I hope to be able to come up with a good idea this time.
I’m thinking about trying out Monkey (http://www.monkey-x.com/) with the new mojo2 library, but maybe I’ll use Visual Studio 2015 (C#) instead or perhaps Unity3D. In case I decide to use Haxe/OpenFL instead, I’ll use my old code base: http://www.wieringsoftware.nl/ld/HaxeBaseCode-1.7.zip
For graphics I’ll probably use Tile Studio, Inkscape, Gimp and perhaps PyxelEdit.
I’ve been playing around with Inkscape and Unity and made part of a level. Now I still need a main character and an unconventional weapon…
This time I really want to use the LD to experiment with Unity (probably 2D), I’ve looked at it several times, but never really made anything. I’ll probably use Inkscape for graphics.
In case it all turns out very badly, I might go back to Haxe/OpenFl with my old code base and Tile Studio.
I finally made a little level map with different areas. I still need to make this become an actual game. I need a proper main character, some enemies and some kind of goal in the game.
I was away for most of Sunday and wasn’t able to do much, so I’m going for the JAM. I made a background and started working on some tiles. It still is going to be a lot of work to make a game out of this!
I finally got the movement system to work with a little magnifying glass around the main character. Now I still need to make a game out of it with one HUGE level!
I spent most of the time so far on getting my old base code to work again. It was based on Haxe/NME with swfmill and it now works with openfl (I really should have done this before the compo). So now I have a tile system that works with Tile Studio.
My idea is to make a really tiny platform game that has the entire game on one screen, but with a kind of magnifying glass around the player, so you can see what’s happening.
It looks like I’ll have some time this weekend, at least on Saturday and part of Sunday. So I’m going to try to get something finished (and if I run out of time, I might enter the JAM).
I’m planning to use Haxe / openfl (with my own base code) or perhaps Unity, depending on the theme. For graphics I’ll probably use Tile Studio and / or Inkscape.
My new Canon 70-200 2.8 IS lens just arrived today, this could become a major distraction for me during the weekend.
I’ll join this LD if I like the theme. I hope to make something for the OUYA this time, using Haxe/OpenFL.
I finished a little game named MiniQix. In this game, you draw lines by walking around and when you enclose an area it gets filled up. You end up with minimalist drawings. Don’t let the enemies touch the lines you are drawing.
Play the game here: http://www.wieringsoftware.nl/ld/miniqix/ (Flash)
I spent most of the weekend playing in an orchestra, now I finally have time to start working on a game!
I like the theme, I’ll probably try to make a minimalist style platform game, though my plan B is to take my idea from LD 11 (minimalist) and do a better implementation.
I’ll be away for most of the weekend, rehearsing with an orchestra. I might still try to make something small in the evenings if there is a nice theme.
Now to prepare I’ll just practice drawing potatoes
I didn’t have much time in the weekend after all and was planning to do something small today for the jam, but I really don’t like the theme and most ideas I’ve had so far have already been done in some way. Now I should really be spending my time on more important things.
This weekend I only have one concert on saturday evening, so I should have enough time to make a game!
I’ll be using:
And this is what my desk looks like:
I really hope to finish something this time.
I was working on this for the October Challenge, but decided to make the game completely free (no ads), so I won’t make 1$ from it.
Anyway, it’s on Google Play now, I’d be glad to hear what you think about it!
