LD 39

We're in!

Sand Gardeners cover image

We are ready to enter for the second time as a team!

We'll probably be using Unity, Photoshop and Ableton to make our game!
Also, we often use the absolutely mad Ink language, so might as well include it.

*Let's all have loads of fun! :ok_hand:*

Art update

Our game is about growing and influencing your own plant baby, and trying not to lose your power over it...

Here's the first art update! a collage for the backgroundimage1.JPG

Art update!

Leafy Paul's workspace is taking shape... I wonder if your precious plant baby will like your coffee?background22.png

Working overseas

If anyone wondered how it is doing LD on the Internet...
Any other long-distance teams here? lol.png(Don't mind the plant... everything is absolutely under control...)

Art update #3

A plant has grown! background22.png

The plants are modular and have different shapes/colours/features/attitudes depending on how you treat them... I'm not sure I knew how much asset work this was going to require when we came up with the idea!

Off to bed now...

Here's all the assets I've made today in one horrible disgusting pile!background22lol.png

Tomorrow I'm going to add tree body parts, animal and fish shapes and body parts, more plant body parts - a huge amount of possible combinations!

I'll also add in assets for different foods, different tools, and start working on the dialogue.

Yes, these plants can talk back!

LD 40

We're in!

Hello, jammers! :sunglasses:

Hope everyone is hyped for tomorrow, because we sure are!

Our first LD as a team went very well, but we ended up being not very social and haven't voted many games... :upside_down:
Second ludum we did a real work on it, posting updates and stuff but we dropped the jam before the end...

LD40 will be the one where we do both of these cool things :heart:

In order to make our cute baby game, we'll be using: * The formidable Ink Language * Photoshop * Unity

We wish everyone to have a lot of fun, we just can't wait to see what you awesome people will come up with...!

(Also, if there is a LD Discord channel to join, let us know, we'd be much delighted to spend our breaks making friends with all of you :relaxed:)

First update!

We are very excited to show you the first screenshot of

Between Stations, a game about late night lonely TV surfing! :tv:

Brownie Cove Express

Hello everyone, after LD40, our jam game Between Stations have been very well received. It has been a great motivation for us in the making of a related (but different) video game, untitled Brownie Cove Express.

Brownie Cove Express is an upcoming interactive narrative game about trains, snow, ghosts, and memories.

LD 41

Sand Gardeners is in!

Hello fellow jammers, glad to be back with you again 💜

Almost a year ago, we released The Cashbags Man as part of LD38, it was the first complete game from this small team of ours. For one of us, it was even their first game ever! 😯

It went very well, and it was so great to actually finish something, have people play it and enjoy it!

(It was odd that our first game jam together went that well actually, as you may know the first time doesn't always turn well, and we had to quit our LD39, so the mandatory "Failed Jam" box has also been ticked lol)

Fortunately, we did better on LD40 with Between Stations and this time we allowed ourselves to make something that was closer to the kind of games we really want to make.

We also took the time to rate games and take a better look at what other people did. It's stunning how great some works were, and the astounishing number of games that have been made in barely 3 days.

Anyway, we're more ready than ever for this anniversary jam of ours, and we sincerely hope everyone here will have a great time!

We'll be using:

  • Unity 2017
  • Photoshop
  • Ink ^ if you don't know of it and are interested in writing games, check it out, we'd be nothing without this awesome tool 😻

Please take some time to rest, take care of yourself and make something you'll be proud of without burning yourself in the process!🐥🐥🐥
