First ludum dare. We got a late start, missing the 1st half of the 1st day to sleep, but we managed to get something going, time to sleep now. Less than two days to go for the jam deadline, hoping to finish it!

A bit more than 23 hours ’till the jam ends, and lots of things still left to do. Time to sleep tho. Here’s some gameplay.

Finally done with the game!

There’s a weird bug with the animations but the game works.

More than 12 hours late, lost to sleeping and thinking about what to do, I finally have an idea, so, I’m in for the jam! We’ll see how far I can get.

After having this happen to me on my previous ludumdare entry, I’m beginning to think of these late starts as a personal tradition T_T

Day and a half almost gone.

I’m not much of a coder, so I’ve spent the time fooling around in Unreal Engine’s editor, building the environment. On second thought, trying to use the engine for Ludum Dare while I’m still learning it might have been a mistake.

Hopefully, I’ll get to add some gameplay before the jam ends.

Here’s some pictures:

Late joining the jam post. I started Saturday afternoon with an idea I liked, had to scrape my first attempt since it was going nowhere, but followed with the same idea and a different approach.

Spent all Saturday night fighting the stupid player physics and went to bed Sunday morning feeling defeated and thinking I wouldn't be able to finish. A few hours of sleep later I managed to fix the physics with just a simple solution my sleep deprived self couldn't find for hours, and then spent the rest of the Sunday actually working on the game.

Here are a couple of screenshots: Now all I have left is adding the music, menus/tutorial, and tying some loose ends. Going to bed optimistic this time. :smile:

Managed to finish my game just in time, this has been a tough weekend.
