How the theme can be THAT sucky ?

Dearest friends,

I’m joining my first LD.

It’s gonna be my first solo-made game (except for my mother’s birthday one a month ago (i was drunk for the most part of the creation)).

That theme was the one i hated most in the 48…

I’m french, it’s 3am, i want to cry a little…wait…i just did…

Whatever.

My friend’s doing this too, and we’ll be sharing some of the posts. You’ll find him here : glbs.

I’ll be using :

a pen and my computer (don’t know the details yet).

Love.

Awake now

I slept 4h30.

We drank a lot of vodka yesterday waiting for the theme, i’m obviously hungover.

But my friends! I got my game IDEA! Plus i have a plan B if that idea is too complicated to make.

Now i just have to do it.

Things to do :

– make a list of what i have to do

-Smoke a cigarette/coffee

 

Spoiler : the game will be a trippy plateformer.

 

Good day to you all.

 

Next post : the list of thing to do.

Best last week end before the end of the world EVER

Brothers,

I’m having fun. I’m overwhelmed.

I’m sorry i said the theme was sucky, i am. Even if i still do think it is.

I love that we are so many people in this. I love seeing so many crappy food crappy pics.

I’m not sure i’ll finish my game in time. I a noob developer, i’m stuck on the easiest thing :

I have to load forty levels but the only way i know how to do it is the shitty way. I use Flixel.

I instanciate a new playstate for each level, and each one contain the forty-case switch function, so when i change something it has to be changed in 40 class. I can’t even explain how much it’s a fucked up way to code that. EWWW

But i learn. I’m having fun.

And be sure i’ll submit a playable version anyway.

TODO : make me and my friend glbs a cocktail, then finish that game.

xoxo

Good night

Friends,

I broke the health rules a few times.

No energy drinks blah-blah,

No alcoholic beverages,

Sleep like normal, blah-blah.

Rather than going to bed,

I may be sure i did

Pour  redbull in a glass of vodka,

Then well…oups i did it again.

Now there is one day left,

And FFS i couldn’t tell

If it is half the total days,

Or two thirds but anyway

I’m drunk and french so it’s real late,

But am i still that gentle knight?

Ask yourself that my dearest mate,

As i politely kiss you good night.

Dinner time

The only thing i can say in german is that : “Eine Doner keine swibble bitte.”

I may not be in germany but i will surely GET MYSELF A KEBAB.

Then i’ll create my 40 levels.

Kisses.

Little hint:

You mean “Einen Döner ohne Zwiebeln bitte.”

But I am a native german and everyone here would definitly understand you :)

Two more levels

More levels for you my BFF’s,

Since i’ve never done any graphics i try things. The second is a photo of my cigarette box warning message.

37 left.

Jumpin’

Loves,

My avatar can’t fucking jump. So annoying.

Well he can jump but then he slowly falls like autumn leaves.

But it’s a girl and not a autumn thingy.

2 hours i try to make her fall like a person.

I’m about to rage-quitte my life jumping through the window and falling like an ACTUAL PEOPLE.

Handshake.

Just a tip : I’ve never got “realistic” values to work for gravity, I always have to add a rather large and arbitrary factor to make things look ok…

Progress

Lads,

Eurydice can jump!

Code is about to be finished.

TODO list

– Code a timer

– 37 levels to make

– Graphisms

– Sounds

Submitted

Howdy,

I manage to “finish” my game.

It’s called Eurydice.

Didn’t have time to make any sounds or music.

The last 4 hours have been HARDCORE.

I really thought i wasn’t going to make it. My whole body is shaking and i’m pretty sure i ate one of my own tooth.

It’s 4am here.

Can’t wait to play all your games.

Zebra paradox

Hi everyone, it’s me again.

 

I’m not sure minimalism is really a theme. I was hoping for Afterlife.

 

Right now my ideas are so minimalist you could call them non-existent.

 

I wanted a Zebra in my game, but i can’t draw a zebra or anything at all. Now i can make a minimalist zebra :

Zebra

Is it still a zebra? What Would Malevitch Do? I think it’s a shitty zebra.

 

[10 minutes later]

 

Maybe i like that zebra.

Or is it Pharell Williams?

 

Hell, i can’t say.

 

Good luck.

 

PS: I beg you all : don’t make games only with red and blue squares on a black background.

enfoiré tu parlais de qui là?

False start

My first idea was way too risky.

New idea, so bad there is no WTF category.

Second LD, first 3D game.

OK,

I’m going to make a 3D game, for the first time. I’ll use Unity. 

For the last 2 hours i’ve tried to make my Character (First Person) run on a planet (sphere).

Her orientation is OK

I can move around, then it stops. It’s like i’m on the north pole and i can’t go anywhere else.

I should be so simple : a vector, 2 forces and the character control. I don’t know, and i can’t find help on Unity’s forum.

In 45 minutes, i change it for a simple plane.

LD27

I’m in if…

…the theme isn’t “strange power-ups”.

I’ll be using :

Construct 2

LMMS

Paint.NET

LD28

I’m in

For the first time i won’t say that the theme is sucky. Not cause it’s not, but cause i don’t understand what that means. My english is not perfect, obviously but i’m sure about one thing :

Somewhere in Serbia, there a guy, loling hard at us : “Those LD dorks have been trolled, they took my theme and i don’t care about videogames at all, let’s play leagues of legend in cybercafe”.

Disclaimer : i’m not racist i’m just french and i’m in.
