LD25 December 14–17, 2012

The road so far…

So it’s been two years since I made my original montage video, so I decided to update it with my latest games from recent LDs…

Don't worry, kitty! There will be a lot moar!

Streaming & Final Preperations

Ok, so theres only a day and ten hours till the jam. The theme is my determining factor. If I’m not able to find a concept for the theme within two hours of the theme announcement, then im not sure if I’ll join in. But if thats the case I’ll still make something.

And im not so sure of streaming or not. Depends if im in the mood for it. I’ll record it though.

Happy Ludum Dare!

Around the theme

Are we allowed to talk with some friends to get an idea ?

(I’ll do the Compo, my friends do not participate).

Yes! I’m pretty sure discussion about games and so forth is encouraged. The idea is that you work on the production stuff yourself.

Am I in?

OK, I am, I’ll try LD for the first time.

I’ll be using CraftyJS or LimeJS for building a browser game.

I’m in..

Hi,

I’m in for the first time ^.^

Using:

  • Unity 4 (free)
  • Blender
  • Photoshop / GIMP / Paint.NET
  • sfxr / Audacity

gl to all

Time to try this again

If the theme is doable then I’ll join in

– Unity3D

-Blender

-PaintShop Photo Pro X3

– FL Studio

Aaron McLeod is in!

Figure I should do the official I’m in post.

I’m a ruby developer living in Toronto. I’ve done some basic 2d stuff with JRuby before. Either hitting up HTML5 or Libgdx this time around. No idea what I’m doing yet, ive had some crazy thoughts of concepts, but ill wait until the theme to formulate.

Good luck to everyone, and come hang out in the IRC!

I’m in

Hi, I’m a 17 year old programming enthusiast from the Netherlands.

 

I’ll give a go at creating a small game, I’m not sure if I will succeed at all since I’m very new to programming.

I will either be using gamemaker or pygame with photoshop or even pixel art made with paint. Might give a go at composing music with fl-studio myself as well.

Good luck to everyone, and let the games commence

Ludum Dare 25: I’m in!

Ludum Dare? Yes! In again after completing LD 20,21,22,23 and 24, I can not wait to get started on LD 25. I had a lot of fun the last time with the development of Evolwar, which was a turn based strategy/tactics game. The game also got some good review which made me even more happy. I hope this LD is going to be the same fun as the last.

My Tools:

  • Löve (whats that? only the best 2D framework ever!)
  • my boilerplate code (actually a lot of it is stolen from other people, so thanks to vrld, kikito and so)
  • Pixen, make me some pixels
  • FL + SuperCollider + Audacity, unusual combo, but it works

I wish you all good luck and I hope you make your best game yet :)

In.

So this weekend I’ll be using:

  • Flash CS6
  • Photoshop CS6
  • Audacity
  • Pixelblipz
  • Sfxr

 

LD#25 I’m in

I’m in.. again!

Like last ludum dare, with:

– flashpunk and related sub-libraries, in particular MicroRPG  and Advanced Platformer Engine

– as3fxr,

– gimp,

It’s tiiiiime 😀

I’m in !

Well, my first Ludum Dare. I’ll try to do what I can.

Libraries used : SFML / box2D / bfxr /fftw (Not sure about this one, but FFT are useful in so many ways :p )

Coder art

Arts probably going to be the main thing I’m gonna struggle with so going to try and do as much in PyxelEdit as I can. http://pyxeledit.com/beta.php

Dare to dare: I’m in!

After skipping the last LD – an unforgivable  mistake – I will once more join the fun!

My last entry (dully) titled NaMa Tek – you had to program a nanobot by designing logic circuits – was the first one I consider to be relatively complete. Better yet, it was ranked #30 in innovation! I am not sure if I can repeat that results, but I will sure as hell try :).

How? With the help of these tools:

  • LÖVE – amazing framework for super fast prototyping and runs without any changes on Windows, OSX and Linux (seriously, you should try it!),
  • … topped with my own libraries: hump (general purpose stuff), HardonCollider (collision detection), Quickie (simple GUI toolkit) and SLAM (easier audio management),
  • … the very useful tween.lua (tweening, duh) and possibly anim8 (sprite animation) by kikito,
  • … and these two snippets,
  • Gimp or procedural stuff for graphics (I suck at that stuff),
  • Audacity, SuperCollider (or, if there is time, LHC) for sound – with bfrx as fallback,
  • Milkytracker or sunvox for music, if any.

Godspeed to everyone – and make the best out of your 48 hours!

Please, gamedev-gods, let me do this

I’m in, atleast I’d love to do the compo, but there are some things coming up this weekend so I might be tempted to drop out.

I would use my default toolset containing:

  • Java + LibGdx (Code)
  • Ableton Live (Music)
  • Sketchbook / Graphics Gale (Graphics)
  • Pixexix + Milkshape (3D)
  • Wavosaur (Sound)

See you at the competition, madpew

Ah, if I managed to make a quick game on 1/2 of a Sunday, so can you!

Go with Austrian power 😉

Spicing up Finals Week with: Ludum Dare 25

Hey all!

I am excited to say that I will be entering Ludum Dare! This will be a 4th now, but it has been a while since my last. Unfortunately LD always seems to fall on finals week for me at the University; and this year is no exception. On the bright side, this year I’m letting myself use that as an excuse to not participate at all, and will be working on a game along side of studying.

I plan on attempting to create a game using HTML5, and keeping it very simple.

On that note, a tip to new comers: Allthough it may have been stressed before, ill stress it again: keep the game simple. Scope the project in such a way that you can go through the entire process from start to finish, and end up with a polished game to play.

Good luck all! Looking forward to it!

 

My second Ludum Dare

Alright, I won’t have the full weekend for this, but I will still be in!

I still don’t know what would my resources be, because I will try different things this time. Good luck to everyone!
