Super Excited about the LD Jam. IT will be finally the first time my buddy & me will attend. Hope to have a lot of fun and grow our experience with it.

Cant also wait to see what others will come up with :)

Cheers! 🍻

After 4h brainstorming and elaborating the game idea, setting, game play loop and goals with @kalbshack, we are pretty confident this will be a good one!

Now off to bed, gather some energy, do the mock up and character design and blast through day full power!

Good luck and good rest to all of you too! Cheers!

though thankfully not as fatal as with Joules here :sweat_smile: (another animation that didtn make it into the game due to time)

But big thanks for all that played our game TEN²² https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/ten and especially to those that commented and gave us some honest and totally unexpected nice feedback :blush:

We will do our most to finish the game as we have intended and planned for the next weeks/months :beers:

The hype really creeped up on us and especially on me since the start of the week!

Compo it is!

With One additional coding and brainstorming member making it a total of 3 dudes this time! We are also eagerly to use our knowledge and experience from last LD Jam and have better time management to get a complete experience for our entry - incl. Audio :D

cheers :beers:

Game is Live! 72h gone so fast! Wished we had more time

Pretty happy with the result, could have needed 2h more to polish and playtest a bit more

Give it a spin! Comments are highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Wanted to make some post about the Character creation and choices we made for "Dshniidawl Woods" :relieved: Starting with the good guys Dshniidawl Kobolds

First off, we did decided for this time to do a more harder approach with the limited pallette and I think it was a good call, it captures the mysticsm of a magical forest (imho)

But now to our first character :bomb:

"helloooo!"

The Bomb Sapling was our first idea on the Sapling concept. Easy cute design with some heavy hitting Damage on the Enemy types.

I wanted to capture the "leafy" Nature of the Saplings with its springy "leaf-fuse" on the head as well as keeping the Character super readable and recognizable at that Tiny scale. :wink:

"boom boom bam!"

Check back for more Posts on the other Characters and Gamedesign Choices we made for this LD56!

Meanwhile, why you dont give the game a spin?

Comments and proper feedback are highly appreciated! Thanks for reading and playing! Dan

Great Theme in our Opinion, we got lots of ideas, but need some refining. We are going to get some sleep and start on an one of the many ideas 😎

Good Luck everyone! And Foremost, lots of fun!

Player char v1 is ready, still needs animations, but I am hustling already hard in doing the assets and just about to start with the ferst iteration of Tilemaps for our Arctic friend here 😁 Meanwhile @kalbshack has the coding down for the core movement and first base game mechanic

Exciting! Especially using all the experience from the previous LDJams 😏

Base of "Operations" Exploration Vehicle asset is done! Super happy, first time playing around with shadows :sweat_smile: Now time for some Animations for our Main Protagonist!

HYPE!

Good Morning & Good start to everyone on this beautiful second day of the LDJam!

Our third member is on site and we are pushing into the next gear! Meanwhile all Player character sprites are done, next step is HUD & UI, while @kalbshack & @r0bin contain the coding needs with excellence!

Hope you enjoy the little walking animation!

I am definitely falling in love with doing 64x64 sprites vs. the usual 32x32 - so much more painting "real estate" What is your preferred pixel art resolution?

and the Finish line can be already seen! Still missing the Tutorial & the Endscreen on which I am working on.

In the meantime have a snippet of the Title Screen :)

Hope thats intriguing enough for you guys & gals to check it out!

Good Luck & much success everyone!

We are "Gold" and uploading just as I am typing this!

Come and give it a spin, trying to find all 9 Artifacts to Escape the Cold Snowy Tundra Hell within 5 Days before a devastating Blizzard sweeps in!

Explore, Detect Minerals, dig them out, and upgrade your Detector without freezing to death!

Come and have a Look!
