Ludum Dare

Posts Tagged ‘robots’

Hello everyone!

Here’s our Entire Game in One Screen game. It’s a multiplayer top-down shooter about robots shooting one another at a train station. Trains pass by, giving cover, and dropping some of their powerful weaponry cargo.

You need two player to play it properly, and you can use controllers for maximun enjoyment.

It was our third Ludum Dare, the second with our awesome sound designer and composer Madcap. We’ve come a long way since our first and believe LudumDare to be one of the most important events in our learning process.

Team work really came together this time around, we had lists, everyone knew what to do, and we rested and ate well (our programmer even got to play Skyrim for the calm bits). Goes to show how effective organization can really change the way you go about a game jam.

An early implementation of the basic mechanics allowed us some time to pay attention to detail, and things show they’ve been made with care.

We’ve had a great time making it and hope you do too playing it.

¡Hola a todos!

Aquí está nuestro juego entero en una sola pantalla. Es un juego multijugador shooter con cámara cenital. Va de robots envueltos en un tiroteo en medio de una estación de trenes. Los trenes pasan de largo, proporcionando cobertura y dejando caer parte de su cargamento de poderosas armas.

Se necesitan dos jugadores para jugarlo correctamente, y se pueden usar mandos para disfrutar al máximo.

Es nuestro tercer Ludum Dare, el segundo con nuestro increíble diseñador de sonido y músico Madcap. Hemos mejorado mucho desde nuestra primera vez y creemos que Ludum Dare es uno de los eventos más importantes en nuestro proceso de aprendizaje.

El trabajo en equipo se ha gestionado muy bien esta vez, teníamos listas, todo el mundo sabía lo que tenía que hacer, descansamos y comimos bien (nuestro programador incluso jugaba al Skyrim en ratitos de descanso). Ahí se nota cómo una buena organización puede cambiar la manera de tomarse una game jam.

Pudimos tener las mecánicas básicas de juego funcionando muy pronto, lo que nos dio tiempo para prestarle atención a los detalles, y en el resultado se nota que las cosas se han hecho con mimo.

Nos lo hemos pasado genial haciéndolo y esperamos que vosotros lo paséis igual jugándolo.

Perfect time to post, just after theme announcement!
I think I’m gonna do a zombie game. I know what you’re thinking, been done a million times right?

ROBOTS. YOU MAEK THAEM. AND FARM. AND HAVE A KITTEH.

Then you fight some zombies. And survive. ALONE = LAST HUMAN ON EARTH.

So we settled on a story and gameplay style. I can say robots and aliens are involved. here’s a silhouette of our cast!

Hopefully you will find them as amusing as we do.

My ISP is killing me got an outage in the service since yesterday around 01:00AM !!!

during this time finished the concept and made the sprites for the game ! here are some drats that I used, and some final sprites … errr my daughters like then, this is a good signal, now is time to go deep in the code, I hope that FlashPunk help me

best regards from the little green man LOL

recycle robots draft

The idea is to control a robot that will look like a little tank, and collect energy and bullets by recycling from from the destroyed enemies, each map will have different types of enemies.

The controls will move to the sides, and control the direction of the weapon, the key E will collect energy from the dead enemy, and B to collect bullets.

Let’s face it, we’re obsolete.
