LD22

The 89 Cookies Monster is In! :P

As a cookie monster, I’m not often seen in a game development contest. Usually I’m right outside the cookie factory, but they closed it. :(

So since there’s no more cookies, here I am, ready to make a game! (probably with cookies involved :P)

I’ll use Blender and GIMP (as an extra rule for me, I just want to use both of them, nothing more). I’m using this as an opportunity to learn more about these tools and apply my knowledge in game design.

Most important, I hope everyone enjoys the competition and have fun!

Good luck everyone!

Everyone has such tidy desks!

So I changed to Unity :P

My goal was to only use Blender and GIMP, but after one hour of brainstorming the idea formed in my head needed the simplicity o Unity.

Here’s my first screenshot (I tried photographing my notebook, but my camera doesn’t focus the letters)

Update: The first level is complete!

The design was already set in stone at the 12h mark, then I slept for some hours and now I came back to make the layout and programming of the level. The art stuff will come when I have all levels done.

I have a good feeling for this competition :)

cool! It could be just because I have been playing a lot of it lately, but it kinda reminds me of Portal :)

Actually it also reminded me of that. In fact I was going after the same structure of levels and ambient as Portal. Now the game is shaping up to be different, but still cool.

It won’t be finished

My idea for the story of the game was too long to be viable in 48h and honestly, I’m not coming up with as many puzzles as I thought I would be able to. So I’m focusing in quality over quantity and, for those interested, I’ll make some more puzzles, and finish the story later.

Well, there’s still 8 hours left, I better get back to coding 😉

Good Luck everyone,

I’m in

Hello everyone,

I’m not at home this weekend but I wouldn’t miss the tenth anniversary of Ludum Dare for nothing!

I’ll use Unity+Blender+GIMP+LMMS (the same as last LD) and this time I’ll try to not get lost in my own story 😛

Let’s make this LD the greatest LD of all time =D

 

Happy Ludum Dare Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor. 😉

24 hours checkpoint

I almost have all mechanics done (there’s only the score and some other details) I feel that I’ll have almost all the next 24 hours only to level design, graphics and polishing. Which is great =D

I’m really hoping for the best with this game and I’m expecting at least some good reviews (wink, wink :P)

Good luck everyone for the final 24 hours!
