Giving up (probably)

Well… Theme is great, my idea is amazing but… Depression punched me too hard today. I am totally out of mood, without energy to do anything so… I try to empty my mind for a while and if i will feel better and if i have some time, i try again.

Sorry for that…

I understand the feeling, I hope you feel better soon! Expressing yourself through a creative means helps me 90% of the time :)

Message me if you need somebody to talk to.

I hope you manage to beat depression, I dealt with it most of my life and I’m just barely feeling like I’m getting out of its grip recently. Forcing myself to do something creative helped me, but not everyone is the same. Good luck.

I’m sure almost every ludum darer knows how you feel. The biggest challenge is not the logic, programming, or planning, but not giving up. And don’t feel bad if you do give up, that’s very common and does not mean you will never make games again.

Thanks for support guys :) If i feel better after sleep, i try to make something again. But you know… Even if i taking pills, some days are shittier than others.

No caffeine week! – SUCCESS!

Well…  Where to start… 😀

I am big fan of all energy drinks and coffee. So, i drinking both in unhealthy amount. BUT! Week before every ludum dare, i stop drinking both and switch to juices. Why? Because Caffeine is drug. And if you drink coffee too much, after some time i started lacking that “boost”.

And that “boost” i need.

So… My body is now decaffeinated and ready for boost! (sorry for horrible english :D)

Meet my hero!

Ladies, Gentlemens and Genderfluids!

I just finished my hero! Please welcome nes styled man…. Great father, son and detective.

Howard L. Ness!

Hey there, my game was inspired by StarGate a little. If you like SG Universe you might like my game :)

In the game there is ancient ship which you cannot really control – so you have just limited time in each solar system to collect materials (or scrap) before jumping to a new one.

My personal reviews – 1

In last post i asked for some tips for games. I got 5 so… There are my reviews!

Into the universe

Game about infinite space! I love this type of games :3

Pretty catchy game! I played this one over hour 😀 Game mechanics are pretty interesting! Sometimes enemy ships spawn one one place so i can’t really tell how many are there. But that is just minor flaw! Also, game don’t have many options. And you can’t really see how weapons shoots. I missed some pretty lasers 😀

summary:

You should play this one too! (If you have lots of time, this game is really catchy!)

The Swith – Worker And The Operator

I put those games because both developers get exactly same idea 😀 Games are about call centers in old times. You just connect jacks to holes. This idea is great for mobile gaming! If one of them make android version, i will probably play it evere free time in bus!

Buuut…. I liked Operator more. Better sounds and more realistic.

summary:

Good small games! Without flaws or bugs but also without some catchy game mechanics.

Free Afternoon

I really can’t say too much about this game 😀 Not because is bad, but because i thought it will be about pc and floppy disk but there was pretty funny plot twist so, enjoy it yourself!

summary:

My english is not that great but still. I enjoyed this game. But i did not played it for too long because i did not have free afternoon 😀

Sassy Salesman

I will be shockingly honest… From all those games, i enjoyed this one the most. Catchy tune, funny idea, great humor… Definitely one of my favourite games this ld and i hope there will be bigger tycoon style sequel. Also, i worked like salesman too. And if you think this is just humor, you are wrong. People are that dumb in real life 😀

summary:

I liked it. That is all. (I go to play again :D)

So, thankies for tips! If you are developer and want feedback written in horrible english, just leave comment! I still have mood for some horror stuff though… But i play everything!

Toilet last stand – Devlog 01

title

The zombie apocalypse has started. You decided to make base on safest room in house, the toilet. Why you ask? Because you have infinite water and toilet here…

DEVLOG 001

I started pretty late this LD and i probably did not make it to the end. But i don’t give up yet! I at least created base mechanics (player moving). And started to working on core gameplay mechanics.

About my game…

 

Basics:

I planning to make survival game. You are in world filled with zombies and you must manage your needs, AND your room because you have only limited free space.

Your room with placeholder tiles

Scavenging

 

If you don’t have supplies which you need, you can go scavenging. I have this mechanics just on paper. You can choose how many hour you will scavenge. More hours = more rare items but bigger chance of wounding and killing yourselves. And more rare items, more room they will need.

 

Core mechanics

Well, you need to manage few things.

  1. Hunger
  2. Health
  3. Thirs
  4. Mental health

Mental health is very important part of game. You need to stay in good mental state. If is your mental state too low, you will commit sucide. You can scavenge and use items like newspapers  (less space but only one use) or (for example) Wash mashine (you can use it every day but you will need much more space..

And, here is little gift…. I made bunch of sprites when i created my main character…

character_walk

So… Here is my basic set of gifs just for merging and recoloring 😀 (All hairs have idle and walk version so you can just overlay them.)

#gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ char_euro_walk char_euro_Idle char_euro
hair_7_walk hair_7_Idle hair_6_walk
hair_6_Idle hair_5_walk_walk hair_5_walk_Idle
hair_4_walk hair_4_Idle hair_3_walk
hair_3_Idle hair_2_walk hair_2_Idle
hair_1_walk hair_1_Idle

 

Toilet last stand – Devlog 02

title

The zombie apocalypse has started. You decided to make base on safest room in house, the toilet. Why you ask? Because you have infinite water and toilet here…

DEVLOG 001

As i said before, i started pretty late so i am not sure if i make it. BUT! I just completed 1/3 core mechanics called “Life support”. So… Now i can enjoy watching how my character dies by hunger or thirst or just simply by owerwork.

So my dear little sadists, you can enjoy this gif from completed GUI :3

What next?

Now i need to start building “edit” mode.

How will edit mode works? Well… While scavenging you will find various items and you can place them in your room. Every item will have durability and you will ned collect scrap for repairing. Stay tuned! In my next (and probably last devblog) I will wrote more about scavenging system!

I LOVE sharing!

Today, facebook reminded me some old ld pictures. Sadly they was on puu.sh so... Deleted. After that i started looking for alternative and found amazing software called SHAREX. It makes same things like puu.sh buth with much more features and settings (like choose where you want upload your images / files / texts. Also it have cool gif recording tool!

Look! GIF [GIFLINK] Framerate and quality is pretty decent. Also, there is great feature called drop file. It looks like this

DROPFILE [DROPFILELINK] It looks like Markdown here don't like images, so i added links.

If you set your own FTP, you can drop here literally EVERYTHING!

I still thinkink about game but… Sharing is something what i LOVE! :D
