After abysmally failing LD18 – by falling asleep and not waking up for quite a while – I’m going to make a bit more of an effort to do LD19!<\/p>\n

I didn’t get much done at all for LD18.. a very simple little Entity\/Component System which worked pretty nice, and some chain physics to link object together. Then I fell asleep. That’s what I get for jumping into LD to do something from scratch, not long after a milestone, and without much time to catch up on sleep. Let’s not do that again.<\/p>\n

This time, I’ll be taking part in the Jam, as I’m not using my own engine, and they’re not particularly wanting the source given out. Fair enough, if I can produce a crap game in 48hrs like the previous LDs I’ve taken part in, surely a not-quite-so-crap game can be produced in 72hrs with an engine that’s not utterly mental! I do have to do some work on it though as it’s geared up for 3D games rather than 2D games; so I need to add support in for that. I also want to wire up bullet instead of the propriety physics engine that’s there. So, it’s not like I’m coming in with a fully complete engine for LDing, there’s still some work to do – just I can’t give out the source, and I get an extra day due to Jammin’ it ( where most of the engine fixing will be done in the extra day, anyway ) .. other than that, I’ll be following standard LD competition rules; so game logic code written in the time frame, all assets from scratch, and working solo.<\/p>\n

Should be fun!
\n Course if things go south, my back up plan is to “from scratch it” again.. but we’ll see.<\/p>","time":"December 5th, 2010 6:41 am","title":"LD19, here I come.. hopefully!"}
