First time doing LD, hope I’m competent.

Language: Java

IDE: Netbeans

Libraries: Slick2D (lwjgl-based)

Art: Gimp

Sound: None as yet

As a babby coder, I don’t reckon it’ll be any good, but I’m working on a single button bullet hell with 3 bit colour depth… it’s only just got to graphics-level, so here you go:

Using filler graphics, going to GameBoy style graphics once the mechanics are nailed down.

TODO:

1. Get game states running,
2. Render the menu and transition to game state
3. Add interaction
4. Add “enemies”
5. Collision detecting
6. “COMIC SANS” pickups
7. Score
8. Graphics
9. Persistent high scores
10. Moar?

This will be my 3rd attempt at this, let’s hope all that will come to make me actually competent.

I’ll be using

PhaserJS as my engine

WebStorm IDE

Aseprite for “Art”

LMMS for “music”

Probably SFXR f0r sound effects

let’s do this!

I thought “hm I wonder when the next ludum dare is”

I looked and it was tomorrow.
GOODBYE SLEEP, HELLO GAMES

This time I’m gonna have to figure out how to balance a full-time job *and* LD.

I’m sure I’ll manage

Let’s hope for a good theme!
