LD25

I’m in so help me…

Been coding for a whole three weeks or something. Thought I’d dive into something I’m way underequipped to do. So here I am!

I’ll be using Unity and Audacity and Sculptris (because it is amazingly easy to create something passable with these).

Wish me luck guys! I might be new but I’m full of good ideas and relevant, but not directly so, skills.

Just keep it ridiculously simple, try to plan a game you can get playable in the first day.

Good luck!

How to be a villain.

The year is 2112; one hundred years and four thousand disproved doomsday predictions in the future.

Humans have met an alien race and immediately entered into diplomatic relations with them. The offer of trade rights was made with the only condition being the establishment of 128 Earth bases on the aliens’ home planet. The selfish aliens declined…

It is up to you to persuade our new friends. Board your long-range frigate and launch as many nukes on their home world as you can before they fend you off.

We can then resume diplomatic relations having shown the aliens the benefits of cooperation.

Good luck, captain.

“Features”

That wasn’t supposed to… ah stuff it.

This time The Doors are helping. That mightn’t be so good…

Whisky or apple juice ?

24 hour tweak.

I have a game-like thing now. Gotta do: sounds, scene transitions, tweaks to combat, aesthetic changes and more features if I have time. Boss?

Can’t wait to play all your awesome games!

Seriously – all these posts are get me super excited. Not excited to stay awake though; 6am is a little past my bedtime. Up again in 3-4 hours to review with a clear head.

Today finally got warm so I reviewed my ToDo list in the computer graveyard:

notes

I managed to add some of the features I wanted to:

And it has a whole start and end thing going (slick, I know):

escape

Well anyway, keep up the awesomeness while I’m away and good luck to everyone.

Love,

A Game!

Howdy Y’all. I have finished my first game ever!

This has been a lot of fun and I can’t wait to start playing all the awesome games I’ve been watching get developed.

Play mine here.

LD28

We’re in.

We have a small team this time.

dcm, Neurolabe (with severe time restrictions) and I, Mez, have teamed up to bring you f#ckers down!

dcm, the wizard, making the impossible possible; Neurolabe, the dreamer, making the possible impossible; and me, the clown, making the possible possible and leaving the impossible where it is with the occasional sideways glance to see if it has become possible since I last looked.

But seriously, this is what we’re doing:

  • Unity in C# – dcm
  • Unityscript – Neurolabe, maybe me if I’m feeling brave
  • Maya – Mezzomatto
  • Adobe Everything – Mezzomatto
  • Probably some Audacity – probably me
  • Maybe a bit of Blender – possibly me
  • Scraps of torn paper – definitely me
  • Whiteboard – all

Background:

We decided to do this a couple of weeks ago so we started brainstorming what we needed to learn. Then we accidentally made half of a game we like so it looks like we’ll be doing LD then going back and finishing that other one off with aaaaaall the spare time we have. At least I now know how to animated something in Maya and that UVs are not all that scary…

What our critics have been saying:

“Wow, what the actual f#ck are those guys up to?” – The Daily Mail

“Is that a bug or a feature?” – GameSpot

“Turn in down!” – Mez’s housemate

“Probably some Audacity – probably me”

Sleep is for future times

We’re here! No really. We’ve just been huddle around our desk sharing out six screens…

clutter

And not a single death threat has been made…

Less confident of the intentions of the owner of this gnarly steel…

Gotta get back to it now. We got one coder off on life duties for most of the time and too much work to do. Saw some great stuff on the blog! Good luck to the LD48ers who are finishing soon.

Mez out.

All those tempting 48hr games!

Must look away…

I’ve awoken from a refreshing 150 minute sleep and dcm has just gone for a nap. My eyes hurt…
Eyebot Render


I’ve been pumping out the models and playing with bump-maps way too much and Neurolabe and dcm have reached a point of convergence – the game is falling together. Emotions are high…

Now go away, I’m busy.

Team win! Resistance Runner is go!

Blood, sweat and tears, here’s our beta!

We bring you…

The first Unity project for dcm and my first real 3D project. Been learning what a UV is for about two weeks before Ludum Dare.
Have fun and good luck to all the other LDers!

From Mez, dcm and Neurolabe.
