Well, ive got homework to do, but i MIGHT be able to participate in LD#18!

Hope for the best

Although i will probably be using Game Maker, i have started learning XNA, and MIGHT use that.
Wish me luck (i’m still finishing the XNA 2D tutorial XD)

lol, i have just taken unlucky to the next level (but thankfully i have worked around it)

My game workstation is my laptop… and i left the charging cord at school (i wouldn’t be surprised if you could hear faint cursing wherever you were). i managed to fix it by swapping the hard-drive into the *cough*school*cough* laptop (i’d never… XD) and booting into safe mode to get those drivers going. it’s not very fast, but still easily useable (as long as i dont have to re-boot, that takes 20 minutes ………)

I was thinking of using this LD as a sharp learning curve for me learning XNA in VC#, but it looks like im going to have to revert back to good old GM8 this time. maybe i can use XNA next time 😀

I’ve finally managed to complete my history homework, so, four hours in, i can start my second LD (YAY :D)

I’ve got a couple of ideas, but i’m not sure. might scan in a few idea sheets, once i draw some up XD

…the first one, actually XD
Well, i have about 1/2 – 2/3 of the game logic done, and a beautiful set of filler sprites that will gouge your eyes out with their ugliness. here’s a screenshot (notice how mt filler sprites have the same colour pallet as last LD :D)

Physics Galore

Yeah, see each of those outlined blocks? each one has it’s own rudimentary physics :facepalm:

I’ve been working on a bit of AI, and this is how it’s turned out.

A & D to move Left / Right. you cannot jump.

click to place portals. blue sucks, red blows (thankyou Douglas Adams). placing a red underground will make the terrain higher, if you are standing on it, you move up too. dropping ground on an enemy kills it, turning it into what is basically a ground tile (which you can use as a “weapon”, along with the rest of the ground)

DLlink

for about an hour
Gues what i need to do? HOME-FREAKING-WORK!
at least it’s science, it aint too bad

Here is a new screenshot of my game 😀
i’m going world-of-goo style graphics

Still quite a bit of graphics to crunch here

Yay, i’m finished! There isn’t much i can say here that isn’t said on the submission, so go take a look!

Check it out!

Well, i was going to enter an updated version of my game into the Jam, but it won’t be finished in time :/.
But do not despair! it /WILL/ be released, but not as part of the competition (‘ll add it to the current entry, etc)

I’ve updated my submission to include a post-compo edition, with bugfixes and some new features. list at submission page

Heya, just posted my game on GameJolt! 😀
here’s the link:

It’s the post-compo edition.

On another note, good luck to everyone with the results!

‘Ello
Noticing the number o LD#18 meetups that were occurring, i thought it would be an idea to see if anyone around where I live wanted to do the same.
I’m in Sydney, Australia, so if any of you live around Sydney, and are interested in a meetup, chuck a comment up, and we’ll probably be able to sort out a nice central location.
Also, you can contact me on:
info.clockworkgames(at)gmail.com

Looking forward to LD#19, expect to see my entry!
Tossing up between FlashPunk and GameMaker, and FP is winning. I’m also taking part in the FlashPunk community compo, so wish me luck!

Yay, photos!

Quick notes: I’m working at a laptop, but it’s more like a portable desktop. Chews through power like a BEAST, and see those tiny speakers? yeah, borrowed them from dad. Bose, and seriously good. he’s not getting them back 😀

Yeah, there IS actually a desk under all that stuff

Her's a closeup 😀 Epic wallpaper as usual.

After mulling over the theme while playing minecraft, its time to start. I have an idea, so i’ll get cracking.

Well, i have thought p an idea, now its time to start making it! dinner (pizza) is on the way, so i’m all set!

Well, sorry i didnt put it up earlier, but i didnt lknow i would use it then 😛

If you are using FlashPunk, then this is for you:
