I spent my weekend at the picnic. Monday’s morning. I started painting comics “”Adventure Time”” listening to the audiobook about zombies.Suddenly, Artem (our producer) called me and said, I had an excellent opportunity to make the comics begining and ending of one cool game.I was agree, ‘cos I knew Artem for a long time. But!I couldn’t notice a trick) Artem gave me only 8 hours to do the job.

I was taken aback! I dropped everything! I didn’t eat and drink,couldn’t meet my girlfriend from her work.I was painting, and painting, and painting.. It was great to invent main character that looked like a heat on the stipe. It was unreal to make quality path, that’s why I colored pen scetch. Horror was in next situation. I spent 5 hours drawing the begining and I had only 3 hours to finish another comics. I must draw our team on a final picture and it was harder than main character. Team mates sent theirs photos for me and I started off drawing. The allotted time was ending but I had!

Funny moment! Our game designer Yaroslav turned from blonde to brunette!The fact is that he spent black-and-white photo!I was in a hurry and made him black-haired by mistake) I note that I know how Yaroslav looks like))I found out my mistake two days later, when I logged in skype)The result was a funny joke for our team chat.

Because of anxiety, I could not really sleep tonight. After minutes after the start of the site hung. The tweeter has helped me to learn the subject. I never went to the computer more than an hour. During this time the idea in my head has got lots of details. A link between worlds is a General search in the flow of things. I was pleased to recall his childhood and the games in which my father played with me. We had to draw the figure from memory: those icons transistors. It seems to me that I managed to create something elegant and fresh, with a minimum of graphics and original setting. What do you think about this game?

ConnectSimilar by BloodJohn

This time I did my first 2D game in Unity.

For fear of stumbling on a level I didn’t set an ambitious task. The game was simple and elegant.

The last two days I’ve figured out how to port Unity to my phone. The first time it is always difficult for me. Finally all the problems are behind us. And I’m glad to present you my game on Google Play!

Maybe someone you know children will find this game transistors funny. I would be glad if you take a picture of someone playing my game and put his photo in instagram with #connectSimilar tag.

Find and select the same transistors in two threads.

I went to the launch exhausted.
On Friday, I consulted with my family: should I participate?
Previous LD gave me a serious push towards my dream.

But now I’m afraid to grub and the strength to finish.
It took me almost 6 hours to crystallize the solution for a given topic.
I will continue to learn Unity and make a clone of the game from my childhood.
This time I will no graphics – only squares instead of walls and hero.

Good luck to everyone who makes their game this weekend! 😉

Hi all!
I’m surprised, but my body woke up exactly half an hour before the announcement of the theme.
The next few hours I’ll think and drink tea. To come up with something awesome.
No, to REALIZE that you invented something amazing – need a few hours.
I don’t know yet what it will be, but the fact that waiting makes me tremble.

Two Button Game: Deer jumps back to Santa

I finished the first version of the game and test the experience of it. The deer looks funny. I had trouble with physics – this is my first platformer.

Today I uploaded a webGL version on hosting. Corrected schedule. Made tutorial.
Improved verification of loss. (Now the game ends if the deer rolled over on his back)
And finally my turn came to adding sounds. A little more and you can show the result.

How to join the LD group on Steam ?
On the LD website has a join button, but it doesn’t work after the transition to Steam.

Membership is by invitation only. Please invite me to the group.

This time I plan to make something in 3D. Only bricks and rendering.
And Unity 5.4 of course. If I’m lucky, I can after the ld35 to tie to prototype in-house Shader.
Last time I focused on the limited resources and bind to the season (HNY).
I had to put the resulting game until the autumn – HNY ceased to be relevant.

I still want to experiment with mobile interfaces (which differ from the mouse and keyboard).

Let your ideas will be really cool. And don’t forget to make a tutorial. 😉

My idea is much like the previous LD30 Connecting Worlds – very similar switch.
There’s another puzzle about the choice of the right cards.

This time, instead of transistors will be mushrooms (because mushrooms are funny). These mushrooms will eat the snail. Choose edible mushrooms, or die from poison.

The first version of a new game – very addictive.

After the first poisonous mushroom snail starts to sausaging in different colors.

Plays funk music.

Last LD35 ended for me with the publication my game in Google Play. After a crazy weekend the prototype has undergone many changes.
1) I’ve gone from clicks to touch – is now one level can be passed in one motion.
2) Orientation has changed from landscape to portrait
3) I added a timer. The session was first exhibited, for 2 minutes. But then it turned out that 90 seconds is much better.
4) Added combos. When collecting mushrooms in one motion – a snail gets smaller with each mushroom.
5) In my experiments with the narrative I brought a number of funny phrases up to 40.

I manage to carve out a few hours on the weekends. Therefore, the work creeps slow like a snail. I plan to add a lot of routine things, which do not relate directly to the gameplay:

1) localization
2) notice
3) achievements
4) social network
5) ios publication

Thank you for this website. And thanks for the feedback. Every part in LD is like Christmas for me. Every time I meet the incredible work of others who inspire me.

I finished work on a prototype. Unexpectedly for us a game about Iceland turned atmospheric. The sounds in game are real. Sounds exactly like the wind and sheep. Sounds exactly like the storm inside the small house. Very strange feeling when you kill the sheep to survive until the end of winter.

Ice, Fire, Сodfish and Sheeps

I will be glad to your comments. Write what you like and what you need to add in the next versions of the game. I plan to release the game on mobile platforms in a month.

For me this is the third LD in a row. Every time I go a little further in development and still far from success.

I’m doing a prototype, collect feedback and begin to work on the comments. Therefore, praise and comments mean more to me than ratings and points. (I’m more of a blue ocean than the red sea.)

add tutorial and sheeps

Compliments is a growth point. So I understand that like the players and try to strengthen it. Comments help to eliminate critical errors, but compliments are much more important.

This week, in fits and starts, I’ve improved the tutorial and released the sheep to the meadows. I will be glad to hear your opinion about the current state of the prototype.

My 4-in-row LD. Every time I’m afraid that everything will fail. A little scared to speak publicly on the participation.

-Unity3D
-VS 2015 + R#
-Paint.NET
-Audacity

I’m making a game without violence for mobile platforms. Unpredictable weekend, and then 3 months of slow polishing.

Let’s pick a good theme and come up with a bunch of great games! I am full of premonitions how unusual will be the theme this time.

Good luck to everyone!

I can’t find the form for submitting game. Help please find the requirements for web version.

I decided to open a bar for lumberjacks. Coffee and cupcakes included.

We got a fun game. I always giggle when looking at art from beautiful Ksenia. Week break and we will continue to develop the game. Please write what you liked about the game – what are things we should continue to focus on.

December was tough for me. Finally after the new year I put together a version of the game with new visitors. And more difficulties!
Thank you for the warm feedback. You inspire me to continue making this game.

I want to share my progress on a android game about Iceland.

In the game there were fans who inspire me to push the cart of development on and on. When the phone receives new review from the store – it makes my day.

The game has a lot of math, but after I started to highlight the wrong answer – it went smoothly. I started to play my game in the train after work. When the head is not already running, tap on the picture with the sheep was a pleasant.

sea animation

Probably need to do a more relaxing game.
