LD33

I’m in (first time)

Hi everyone!

Its time to try my first LD. I do it for myself to proof how good/bad I am and I want to learn some new things in Unity. Themes look good (i hope  it don´t be “A Map will Be Useful”). So everyone enjoy this time!!!

Engine: Unity

3D graphic: Unity

2D graphic: Paint, ArtRage, Paint.net

Audio: My accordion :)

 

My first entry conclusion, how to be the #1 next time!

When I uploaded my entry I knew that the game has a poor graphics, but I was really exited because I could make the game working in the time for compo and the game includes all what I wanted to. This made me a winner in my own eyes. While I was working on the game, I have realized of how much I have learnt and how much I will have to learn. Here you can look at my rating.

My game

rating

AUDIO
It is actually really funny/sad that my entry has the best rating in audio class. This was the first time I was making audio for a game so I had to look for a right software to help me with it. Because audio class is closely connected to mood class, I now my audio is not good for being good but for being funny.

HUMOR
I didn not add any texts or something what should increase humor aspect and I dont even know why I obtained so much points in this class. Maybe the right timing of sounds and backround music made it possible.

THEME
What is more “being a monster” than eating people? Here I think I lost points because the graphics design of the under-bridge monster.

INNOVATION
When I was working on the game, I did not know anything about about categories which I will be rated in, so I dont have in my sights. I must admit, my game is no innovative.

FUN
My game should have more points in FUN than in the HUMOR category. It is fun to eat people, dodge the bad thoughts and dont die by starving.

MOOD
Here I lost again because of my graphics. Time to learn pixel art style.

GRAPHICS
This is the main problem of my game. I did not even want to be good in graphics, I was so glad to have a working game. In my opinion, graphics is the key in LD and here i have so much to get better.(Maybe chose a lower resolution will help next time)

I m so happy for being a part of Ludum Dare 33 and I promise this isnt my last try. I want to thank you for playing my game and writing comments. Next time I will get better. It also took some time to build Rome.

So again, IN!!!

PS: can someone give me an advice about good working soundtrack? For work i choose music with no words, thanks :)

Third Ludum

Hey guys, this will be my third LD Compo. I’m very excited about that. I want to learn some new things. My main goal is to make the original game, which was not done before. Enjoy your time and I look forward to your great ideas. I will use:

Unity
PaintNet
Insolence
possible Blender

LD 42

Please recommend me some LD Unity project to learn from

Hi guys, a have already finnished some of jams, but I think, there is something I did not get it until now. I was looking for some Unity source code (whole project) to learn from. So I just have a question for all of you guys. Can you recommend me some Unity project to learn from?

Actually I m somehow expecting I will be always able to check everyones source code, but most of the game entries dont contain a source code. It is a part of jame to learn. I m very confused why some other guys dont do it. :(

Yeah and I am looking forward for LD 42.

Time to get prepared

So guys as with my previous LD jam I want again try something which I never focus so much before, so I decided to focus on animations. All my previous games was like dead body. I want finally create something with life included. Some project where I will always be looking forward to get back and continue on this path full of life and moving stuff.

Tools to use: -PS -Unity -BOSCA

Guys enjoy your ride and I hope, everyone of us will learn cool stuff this weekend

Running out of space, time to do game

So I woke up and start think about the my game. Here are my thoughts.

  1. You are a manager of graveyard in year of 2120, so many people died and get their grave on public graveyards, and you are choosing which grave to destroy and put another guy into it. It is Papers Please game about decisions.

2.Multiplayer 2D arena game where weapons cause decrease of play area.

3.Singleplayer/Coop Multiplayer 2D game about to stay long as possible alive, fighting against AI which is going to decrease playground area.

Time to do something finally

Dear mAnimal, when you will be doing ludum dare next time you should ...

So, I really enjoy this weekend, time was running fast and I have so much fun with this game. But it is like every ludum dare I was participating.

1) I was able to do the game in time as before 2) I choose low-scope game as before 3) I was mainly practicing old skills as before 4) I did not experimented multiplayer as before

So mAnimal next time when you will be participating LD you should go more crazy. Dont care about the low-scoped game too much and try something wild. As I mentioned in my previous post, I hade a cool idea about game.

"You are a manager of graveyard in year of 2120, so many people died and get their grave on public graveyards, and you are choosing which grave to destroy and put another guy into it. It is Papers Please game about decisions."

So please, mAnimal, next time you should not finnish the game in time but everyone will love you for it, not like this time.

Thanks mAnimal

LD 43

Message from my past myself

Hi guys, I'm in again and I just red the message from my past myself.

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/dodge-and-pray/dear-manimal-when-you-will-be-doing-ludum-dare-next-time-you-should

So, this LD I will be more crazy about the game, maybe I will aim mainly for HUMOR ranking. I have already bought a Lego for I hope faster game design things.

Here are my suggestions.

Nobody is able to tell you what should be your goal in LD game jam. Do what you want, and have Fun.

Enjoy the LD 43!!!

Dear mAnimal, when you will be doing ludum dare next time you should ...

It was a fun, like really. And finally, your game is a proper joke. 22th in Humor category.

You are glad for being able to create this kind if game. Economy games are pretty hard to ballance in this short of time of 48 hours so please, do not create another one for next game jam. You already did one.

Practise more your graphics skills. Until next time learn pixel-art more so you can spend more time not doing pixel-art.

2D pixelarted platformers are usualy easy to play, accessible fot a players and you are able to create good gifs from them to present the game after it is finished. Maybe you should next time try something like platformer.

You should learn already with some audio creating program.

You are mostly a programmer so focus on it, dont waste your time with stupid painting. Its even boring you. The first day you were realy like an animal. Second day was not so ok cos you were mostly not coding. So next time make it in case and count with yourself in this way.

More almonds

Thanks mAnimal

Ludum Dare 45

Will be results of the Slaughter Rounds visible?

I mean something like raw output data from voting. Yes i know there will be 3 other rounds when top themes will be voted again, but its not the raw output.

Is it possible to show raw slaughter round output?

so far so good

in my game you are jinxed to have your heart outside of your body so you must consider every movement
