Well well well…

I’ve had a fair few failed attempts at the Ludum Dare for the past couple of years due to timings or being forgetful or having no ideas or whatever but I say no more!

This year, despite it being a late entry, I intend on participating in the LD October Challenge 2016 in order to give me the proper motivation to start off my proper game development career/method of earning a bit of cash doing something I love xD

I’ll be posting updates up to the 1st of November of my game and how it’s looking/working.

Tools I’ll Be Using:

• Unity 5
• Paint.Net/GIMP
• Logic Pro X
• Audacity

From now I have 17 days to complete a playable and enjoyable build of this game…

Wish me luck 😀

Hey,

Our LD35’s submition got more polished and less buggy. And now we introduce you an Android version of the game! Here is the link

Hope you enjoy it and I’ll see you next LD!

Hello everyone! I’ve been very busy this month, but in the past couple of days I finally managed to implement ramps into my 3d physics engine. This took me far too long, but it’s very important for the map flow. Below is a screenshot of the demo level – the light gray represents a bridge/road; the gray is the ground; the blue, a river; and the the tan, dirt paths running up from the river banks to the road.

Yeah, yeah, it’s ugly! Graphics are on the list, right after weapons. What’s important is that units can now pass over and under that bridge, along with having some nice, smooth, only-slightly-buggy ramps to get them up to it (GIFs after the jump!):

Over and under the bridge

Off the bridge and up the ramp

So, that’s basically it! Next on the checklist is: Adding weapons and combat, particle effects, a state manager for menu/game transitions, AI and scripting, dynamic lighting, and, possibly, online play. Easy!

On a more personal note, life has been kind of difficult for me lately. There’s lots of reasons for this, but I want the community’s feedback on one thing in particular, which is – ironically – how do you maintain your communities and connections? Ludum Dare is a great example; even though I’ve been participating since, at the end of the month, 2011 – that’s five years – I wouldn’t say I have strong roots here. In those five years, I’ve had a lot of other interests (where I have also successfully not develop community connections), and life has cropped up in many ugly ways. So, community members, I guess my question is, what makes you belong? And how do I be like you?

So… After 2 days and no purchases, even with a 70% off sale, I decided to make the game free for a week. 😀

Hopefully that will help me get more money later. Because I’m nowhere near my $48 goal for the October Challenge.

Please leave a comment though. Because I haven’t had any feedback yet. D:

Just scroll down a few posts to see some GIFs of the game, because there has only been 1 post in the last 30 hours or something.

We’re looking for a Pixel artist for Backgrounds for an old school Sierra style point n click game.


We already have a animations artist, and a writer, and a programmer at the moment, but are looking to cut the art amongst 2 people. The project will be rev share, but will likely not make a lot so applicants should join for their passion for working on a project, not for money.
If interested you can e-mail me at sbtanker@gmail.com
or reply here, and we can tell you more about it.

The launch of the game will  be on 31 Ocotber 2016.

We can’t wait for you guys to try it out.

As Aslan Game Studio, we have been working on this FPS with Galavalomka Games for about 13 months. Today, we released Graveyard Shift to Steam! Available for PC and Mac. And it fits into the Halloween spirit of October.

Graveyard Shift is a FPS with unique game mechanics and a mise-en-scène that mixes both toonish and horror elements together! Yes, we did it. It’s made with Galavalomka Games.

You are fighting against restless ghosts and liches. They revolt, because too many graves are dug in the graveyard, whose keeper is you. Your purpose is to re-kill the undead! Your only friends are mushrooms, those you use to make mushroom bombs.

Your ammo is elemental mushrooms, there are 5 different elements of mushrooms those you collect from the ground. You create bombs with those elemental mushrooms (2 Fire, 1 Water, for example) using number keys 1 to 5. Your enemies also have elements; enemy’s element and the elements of your mushroom-bomb determine the damage you deal. For example, you deal more damage to a Fire ghost if you prepare a bomb with Water mushrooms.

There are 2 types of enemies: Normal ghosts and liches. Normal ghosts are melee attackers, they use claws. Whereas, liches throw you stones and they are much stronger than normal ghosts.

We have 2 game modes: Waved and Survival. You fight against 10 waves of enemies in the first. Survival lasts as long as you are alive.

LUDUM DARE ENTRY

Hey. So I want to make a multiplayer. But I suck at Networking side of it. Does anyone know of anything that makes this simple?

So progress with my october challenge entry is going pretty well to be fair. I’ve created my main mechanic which shall be cell division for this project and come up with a whole bunch of graphics and stuff to create a simplistic but comforting art style and considering I started like a day ago that isn’t too bad.

But of course I’ve encountered some coding glitches…

Cells that divide tend to enjoy doing so by which I mean they tend not to want to stop and so within 30 seconds of clicking black circles, the screen becomes full of black circles…

Oh lord give me strength… Only a week left to finish

There’s a man
Who will tell you a lot of things
But it might be hard to understand
“which man”, you may ask

Sketcher D is not only my first Android release, but its my first time working with another company to make a game (Snobox studios).

I loved working with them, I did the programming and they did the design and art and all of that stuff The experience was great, I learned a lot. I’ve never actually used a design doc before (I’m fairly new to Game development). The game will be released october 28th (tomorrow). So be on the lookout for it! Thank you, and good luck on your game development projects

I guess that this is my October challenge entry. I’m unlikely to make a lot of money but oh well, this is my first game that I’ve finished to an alright standard.

You can get Vector Fighter for android on the play store.

I played hundreds of Ludum Dare 36 games on my YouTube channel!

I also wrote an article on my favorites and awarded those developers trophies. You can find the article here.

What is unusual? In this version you have to control you pads through your web cam by choosing a color.

Try this game and you’ll see.

Would be great if you’ll comment and let me know what I can improve.

My game, “Flibitz”, is now live on the App Store, but on the submission page for the October Challenge I don’t see a box to enter a url for iOS. Should I just put the app store link in one of the other boxes?

I plan to support other platforms in the next month or so, but for right now iOS is the only one that’s published.

In the meantime, while I’m getting this sorted out, if anyone wants to check it out, here are the links:

App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flibitz/id1158554631?ls=1&mt=8

Thanks.

Thanks.

I apologize if I’m missing something simple again. I’ve done probably three or four LDJam’s and never run into this error.

Here is a screenshot of what I submitted. All of the .png files are within the specified size range. Is there an admin that can maybe look at a log file to see why this error happened? Thanks for your help.
