Right so this is my first LD I am taking part in. I try to make games all the time whether it’s 3d or 2d but they are always concepts and prototypes and never finished products.

So this is a good chance to scare my procrastination with an actual deadline I can work towards.

I’m sure this is going to be great fun, good luck to all you guys!

Engine: Unity3d

Language: Javascript

Art and Graphics: Photoshop (2D), Softimage XSI (3D)

Basically got my idea after 2 hours of tearing my face off trying to find an idea so i’m just going with a simple interpretation.

Well I’ve only just got a few design bits down in Unity at the moment but I’m slowly working towards some actual gameplay features…eventually…

I’m going for a game that switches you in and out of differently themed challenges. Each challenge is simple but your only way to interact is with the left mouse button.

Every time the challenge switches, hopefully so does the function of the left mouse button according to the challenge. Not quite the interpretation of minimalism I would like but hey, it works for me.

Got a little bit further this time. Have scripted the transition from the challenge select room to the challenge itself. I’ll probably make a start on the challenge switching environments very soon. At the moment I’m aiming on finishing the core mechanics and then I’m going to polish it like crazy.

Welp, I crashed out from lack of bed for about 2 hours so now I’m up and streaming again. I have a base visual selection for buttons all I need to do is script the system the buttons use.

Alright so now I’ve got the selection of the challenges visually finished (almost) so now I’m focusing on playing the challenges individually using the control panel.

Just working on some ways to relay information to the player about the current challenge without too much detail, so I came up with HINTCUBE. Don’t ask I am very tired.

About to dive into the mechanics of one of the challenges which is collecting items a cannon fires at you.

So I’ve been working on the mechanics of the first challenge and so far its coming along OK, even though I think I’m struggling a little. Basically the cannon shoots out little collectables to add to your score.

So my original concept for my game was way too ambitious to complete before competitions end so I’ve decided to just make it a minimalist shooter. Turns out I enjoy doing this alot more but unfortunately I didn’t put a spawn cap on the amount of enemies yet.. so the result is:

So i’ve got a health system and a game over system in place and enemies can die and such. Looks like this is coming along well so far.

Also excuse the anti-virus, it’s like an excited puppy.

Well I finally finished my first LD. That was intense and I feel like throwing up, but nonetheless pleased.

If you get the chance, go play it or something: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-26/?action=preview&uid=13474

So I had a lot of fun making a 7DFPS game (Even though I only had 2 Days to make something) so i’m going to be playing the many games people submitted.

I also invented a drinking game on the occasion just to make things a little fun.

Bored, Want a laugh or just want to Chill? Come join!

So yeah, should be fun. The themes this time are definitely a lot more interesting than the last. But again will probably met with the same moans and groans when it’s actually announced.

Also my setup:

And my tools:

-Unity3d (Javascript/Unityscript)

-Autodesk Softimage XSI

-Adobe Photoshop

-BFXR

I’m also participating in the game jam with my girlfriend who is doing the art for the jam submission; Roseninja. So I’m doing the Compo for 48 Hours then quickly programming my girlfriend’s idea for the remaining 24 of the Jam.

I’ll also be streaming as usual: www.twitch.tv/jellycakes1

See you all on the other side.
