Well, in preparation for my first ludum dare I have some simple java which I have been writing for my Uni project which I’ll end up using.

It will use JOGL with processing.org’s stuff as the processing IDE makes me an unhappy pappy.

Current state of it can be found here:

Unless you can perform miracles I doubt it will run straight up. You can find an example of it here(derp @ libraries):

As its a jar, run from the command line: java -jar <file>

If that still throws errors, throw “-Djava.library.path=” with the path to the libraries in the mix.

This will be my first attempt at creating a full game, let alone for a competition. Hopefully it won’t go all horribly wrong.

So yeah, I got all my streaming stuff sorted. That’ll be going ahead right at the beginning quite hopefully! You can find that @ here .

I probably wont chat over the stream, but the possiblity is always there depending on viewer count ;’D

And ofc, where all this magic happens…

For both 32 and 64 bit bops. Run the jar from command line or use the provided .bat

All is going well and eating my rice

oh yeah, stream is still going ahead http://www.twitch.tv/tentaclenoises join for weird music and shitty art and coding!

Ok, so I’ve taken a big break today but got back to work and it turned out ☆ＦＡＢＵＬＯＵＳ～☆

I’m damn pleased with how today has gone. Much better then I expected for sure.

As per, get the runnable examples below.

Windorz – here!

Mac! – here!

Well, I felt that I did pretty well! This is technically the first game I have ever made (lol) which sounds weird considing how it turned out.

Ontop of that, I am rendering up the timelapse to be done by tomorrow hopefully!

Hope you guys manage to check out my entry =]

Well, Finally got the video all rendered up! I hope you enjoy it. I certainly enjoyed the 29 hours of it! ;’D

Well well well.

After taking part in my 1st LD for #22 and coming top for community + reasonable well in others, I felt I should be coming back and doing another! I meant to for #23 but things happen!

I hope that I should be able to be awake for the start.

I decided to use XNA this time around although Ive yet to make a game at all in it, so we’ll see how it goes!

Ok, so I spent the time until now brainstorming to get what I want to do for the game. I got the main gameplay mechanics down and the feel I want to do for the game.

PARTICLES EVERYWHERE

That is all, but yeah. 3:45am it is now so I feel as though it would be best to sleep on the ideas and start progress tomorrow! There will also be a stream up! so look forward to that.

Ok so got a good nights sleep and already starting mashing away. Hoping to get a lot of the game engine done today and leaving mostly textures and sound for the 2nd day.

Stream as always is at http://www.twitch.tv/tentaclenoises#

Feel free to tune in!

Hard at work, lots of time on gfx and particle system rather then any gameplay at all!

Current build http://tentaclenoises.co.uk/LD24/Evolution%20Game.rar

Requires XNA 4.0 ( I believe)

Well, I think day 1 went pretty well. Got most of the gfx engine and main class structured down. Only thing that is left is the fighting gameplay, mob randomization and boss stuff(oh and sound by sssssh).

So that is that! The lastest build of what is going on so far can be found here: http://tentaclenoises.co.uk/LD24/Evolution%20Game_1_0_0_3.rar
Requires XNA 4.0
