FINISHING TOUCHES WITH JEFF BEZOS (NO RELATION)
Just made the cover image for our game! Pretty swell I know.

Just made the cover image for our game! Pretty swell I know.

A few more steps until the finsh line, I think we can finish in time :smile:

Another Compo has been successfully completed! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stream this time because I started my participation a little late and also had some technical problems with the stream setup.
For this jam, I made a game with 5 levels and 2 types of enemies, which is always less than what we plan. However, I was still very satisfied with the quality of the final product, especially the sound effects and visuals.
The part that I believe could have been improved is the lack of a tutorial and more instructions explaining why the player lost the level on the final screen. Despite this, the game has a very simple mechanic so it shouldn't be too much of a problem in the end.

You are a black market organ dealer. Harvest organs from artificially grown humans. Keep your operating room clean of any organs to lower toxicity. A quick 3.5 minute game.

There's still a lot of polish available to do. Even if it's pretty simple, we were able to keep it in scope and get the core game-loop in. Haven't really done a jam like this before but it was fun!

Just finished our first LDJam. Had a lot of fun making this over the last couple of days.

Well, I've spent much too long on the bits to make this look nice, but at least there's something that kinda looks like a gameloop now and most of the elements needed to finish it are there? :D

Modern tools for a modern farmer!
... Now to hunt for fonts :eyes:

Finished first Ludum Dare game earlier today, its called 'Down to Earth', a top-down shooter where you throw fruits and veggies at aliens to defend your farm.

I'm pretty used to crunching, but oh boy, this was tough. I had a chance to sleep for a few hours (literally 2 hours), but almost all 46 hours that's left were a real pickle. I really like the outcome though:
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/catchy (WebGL, Windows and YouTube walkthrough available).
Catchy is a top-down Fishing and Sailing simulator where you have to catch fishies with a hook! Imagine Raft and Sea of Thieves having a child in 2D (on a budget). Also fans of ships might like the sailing mechanics ;)

Oh, and Pudge/Stitches-like hooks are also here, and they are really fun! Catching fish is one of the main objectives, but I just like to do it for fun :)

The backbone of the world’s Yam economy, Yamsylvania has been overrun by a horde of Yampires and Yampire Bats. But the show must go on! You’re a dedicated farmer and you’ve decided you’ll continue to sell yams despite the challenge. Your wife, Yamela, has taken the kids to safety. It’s just you and the yams now. Good luck!
Each time you play, you’ll enter one of three designed levels at random. Sell as many yams as you can before you get overrun. Here's the catch - the yams are also your only defense. Throw yams at the horde to thin it out. Your career stats are available on the main menu.
Note: Not all harvests are created equal. Ripe plots will yield a varying amount of yams.
Thank you for taking the time to play my game. Make sure you comment so I can check out your game too! Also feel free leave a comment letting me know what you think, or if you're having any trouble.

This was probably one of the nicest projects with (quite possibly) the biggest scope reduction in my LD career. However, some code was left and I decided to turn a scope reduction into a working cheat system, so you can at least get a taste of what could have been ! You won’t be able to submit a high-score using these… But nonetheless, if you type the following words followed by an ENTER in the options menu during gameplay, you will unlock the following cheats :

| CHEAT | EFFECT | |----------------|-------------------------------| |DUKES | Secret First Person Mode | |INHALER | No more puffs when overloaded | |SUPERTRAILER | Unlimited Hauling | |IMBATMAN | Night mode | |REDBULL | Gain superspeed | |FERTILIZER | Regrow all crops on the field |
Hey folks! We're looking for beta testers of our in-progress game, Calorie Crunch! We're itching to hear what we can improve before the jam due date so if you have time to try it out in your browser, please have a look.
After trying our game, if your own game works in the browser please leave a link to your game on this post for us to try out, too!
