I have to go to bed, got to get up for work in less than 3 hours so I have to do the video tomorrow. For now, I leave some screenshots behind. Please feel free to play (WebGL) and rate the game. Be careful so you don't get knocked out though =)

Hope you've all had a fun experience this weekend!!

In my LD45 game, you start with nothing. You have to take stuff from next door to score points. but don't get caught in the act you will get knocked out!! And when you are knocked out - it's game over and no more points can be scored.

I hope you had a fun event everyone!

Making I Have Nothing was a lot of fun! I managed to get a repetitive low poly object flow going but after 10 hours of modeling and animating in Blender I statted to feel abit stressed that I had an empty Unity Project :)

Here is some raw game play footage from the game. A video post mortem will follow!

Watch out for the broom!

Oups, maybe I made the INSANE difficulty a bit toooo hard. I can't even get past a score of 300 =)

I am considering doing a competition again like I did with Blot with some Steam giftcards as prizes. I was going to put it on the Insane difficulty but I think that might just be a bit too hard. I will do some more testing on Hard and see if that is suitable. I would be interested in what region of scores you guys can get on Hard and Insane.

Here's the MP3 sound track of I Have Nothing if anyone wants to download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pw7a1j0tkc0es2n/Imphenzia%20-%20I%20Have%20Nothing%20%5BLD45%5D.mp3?dl=0

I'm also working on the timelapse for I Have Nothing. It'll take another few days until it's finished but I'll make sure to post it here as well as on my YouTube channel.

Hey, I haven't had a chance to put together my narrated post mortem video yet, but meanwhile I was happy to see that my game was in top-100 in every category with the best idividual score of 8th in Humor (usually my worst category:). Since I am an audio guy as well, I am somewhat disappointed that among all my scores the Audio category was my worst scoring category haha. Will follow up woth a video next week! Thanks everyone!

Hey, I finally got around to record my Post Mortem & Timelapse of the making of I Have Nothing =)

See previous blog entry - I can't delete this one.

Hi guys!

Since I started to do LD (LD36) I've been practicing Blender - usually shortly before LD itself, but this year I'm doing it every week. I'm doing a video series about it where I challenge myself to model objects in 10 minutes, here are the two most recent episodes. Maybe you can find some tips while you prep for LD46 in this series? =)

Here's a video about making low poly cars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YALV3HqfdLY

And here is a low poly character that is rigged, ready for animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBAkjGLE-Xs

Hey Guys!!

Just about a week to go now, so exciting =) If you are planning to use Blender to model stuff for LD, maybe these videos can give you some tricks to speed up your workflow. I use these techniques for LudumDare as I do the compo entries. They are not really supposed to be tutorials as such, but they can maybe give you some ideas??

I just released this video a few minutes ago where I model and rig 5 low poly characters in 10 minutes (real time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZDnV4KshM8

And here is another one where I model 10 cars in 10 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YALV3HqfdLY

Take care everyone and get your software in good shape before the LD timer starts :)

Here's a paramedic... now I just need to figure out WHAT he should keep alive =)

I am super thrilled . my 11th consecutive Ludum Dare was successful. I wasn't planning to spend too much time on a game this weekend, but I still couldn't help myself to put 20 hours in, haha. LD is just too addictive and fun =)

Check out my entry "ALIEN RESCUE" - how far can you get it to go?? WebGL version available.

New personal best = 419 meters!

There will be a competition with prizes in Alien Rescue soon. Get some practice in :)

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/alien-rescue

Managed to get 631 meters when playing with my daughter! My previous PB was 419.

Nice to see the site back up and that Ludum Dare is only 2 weeks away. This will be my 12th consecutive LD and I'm just as excited as ever!

New for me this time around is that I'll stream it on Twich =)

Also great to see posts from those of you who will be doing this for the first time. Let's have a lot of fun on this one and remember to keep practicing your skills in the tools that you'll use to refresh your memory before the event!

Hello everyone! Hope you're all looking forward to this one. For the first time I'll be streaming my Ludum Dare event, feel free to drop by: https://twitch.tv/imphenzia

Good luck everyone!

Happy to have finished my compo entry "Looper Cooper". It was a lot of fun to make and I tried to stick to the theme so you're stuck in a big loop, and you can also get stuck in smaller loops within the big loop if you're not careful. I expect control criticism - but it's part of the challenge =)

And some screenshots:

Starting to get back into a rhythm after Ludum Dare now, slowly recovering! I'll have to start looking at what everyone has been created this weekend :)

Here's a short video clip of plane crashes in my LD47 entry Looper Cooper

Happy to have made it to the end of another Ludum Dare! The April LD always coincides with my wife's birthday so I find it very difficult to allocate time. Still, managed to get a solid 15 hours in while the family was sleeping this weekend :) Probably won't score very high on innovation, but a freediving game was my obvious go-to for Deeper and Deeper.

And a ragdoll of course:

Most of the modeling is done now. Time to rig and animate and I haven't even started the Unity project yet, wonder how this will go =)

Graphics and animations are done - hopefully I can fit in doing the actual gameplay tomorrow :)
