Phew! Down to the wire but I got it done. I didn’t get sound in but throwing the disc around feels really great! You can check it out here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=11257

Here’s a progress shot so far. After about 12 hours of working, I finally got the AI and win/loss state in. It’s gonna take a few tweaks to make it fun and balance it. It also needs quite a bit of polish pretty much everywhere.

So here’s looking forward to crunch mode tomorrow, everyone good luck!

I’m pretty excited, I have a new laptop to gamedev on. Gonna be using Game Maker Studio like always. Everyone good luck!

Sup LD.

Here’s another chance for me to improve my skillz. I’ve completed the previous LD’s, #23,24 and 25. I’m looking forward to creating something even better this time around. My personal goal this time will be to try to incorporate sound and music!

Tools: Gamemaker Studio Pro, Gimp, Audacity, Bfxr, and LMMS.

Good Luck everyone!

And with 17 hrs to go! It was a great experience as always. Here’s an action shot:

And you can check the game out here: Preview

I finally got the game done and submitted with 20 minutes to spare! I had a really fun time making the game as always. The game came out great and I only cut a few things from the final version.

Here’s an in action shot:

You can try out the game here: Play and on the Charity Game Jam site.

I recommend Firefox because the sounds don’t work in Chrome >:(

Good Job Everyone!

Hey guys, things are going great. I’m about halfway done on the game and with sleep, I’ll have about 8 hours on Sunday to finish. I still have to finish level selection, more levels, and a merchant screen to buy in-game upgrades but I think I will get it done.

Here’s a progress shot:

You can play the test build here: Play

P.S. I recommend running it in Firefox, Chrome has weird scroll bars.

Hey guy, I’m about an hour into my Charity Game Jam game and I’ve tried running my HTML5 project in the funkytron. I’m using Game Maker: Studio Professional with the HTML5 plugin. For some reason, when running it in a chrome browser I get weird effects like scrollbars and blurry sprites:

However running it in Firefox is fine. Anyone else have similar problems? Or is it just how chrome works?

And with time to spare! It was great fun and I can’t wait to start reviewing games 😉

Presenting: Tactical Binary Evolution Combat (TBEC!)

In the home stretch now. I have to add more polish and more units but that should be easy with the system I’ve built in Game Maker. I’m surprised how much I can get out of it.

Sandbox RTS almost done!

I worked on the game on Friday for 3 hours. I got a good chunk of it done. I completed:

-Drag select

-GML pathfinding grid

-GML collision avoidance

-Basic combat

-Basic unit stats

This is going to be my second Ludum Dare, however this is the first time I’m doing the compo. I’m pretty excited to flex my own abilities and see how far I can get. Working in a team last time was fun but we got off task a lot :p

Engine: I’ll probably either use Game Maker 8.1 or Unity 3.5.

I use Unity more but I find that I can prototype 2D games faster in GM. Also, the pixel collisions are cleaner. Next time I’ll probably delve into Java.

Good Luck everyone
