I'm in!

This is my first Ludum Dare and I am very excited to see how it goes!

24 Hours

The jam is 1/3 finished, so i decided to run a progress report for my game. I haven't posted anything about my game yet, but the logic is quite interesting. I plan to make my game take place in a computer running out of power, and then puzzles must be solved in order to turn back on the power, and win.
Here's a screenshot of the main screen featuring one of the mathematical puzzles.

First Release

After 45 Hours and 40 Minutes, I have finished the first (mostly) stable version of my game.
Here is a link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4yLHk4Hu4WyS3Z6bXhJemdFRTA.
In my google drive folder, I include the .jar file, and two google forums. One is a bug report, and one is a feedback survey so i can do better next time. I hope my game is enjoyed!

50 Hour Blog Post

Ludum Dare is now 2/3 in! So far I have a stable version of my game released, and I am really impressed because I didn't think i would be able to do this. Tomorrow I plan to add even more sequence puzzles, and hopefully i'll manage to add in a random puzzle generator and a path-finding algorithm to compile the mazes.

Here is a link to my Google Drive folder for LD 39. The folder contains a .jar file, and two surveys. One is a bug report and the other is a game review so my next one can be better.

Here's Two Screenshots! ^98452ED44F8A4A6A2321DAC63127D2A8965508D0C7A654D38C^pimgpshemfullsize/emdistr.jpg Basic Screen displaying an arithmetic puzzle ^0D43CFE03A30C0ECC717C65CAFBC9F0104872F3BF0CD520B42^pimgpshemfullsize/emdistr.jpg Game-Over Screen Glitching onto the main puzzle (not everything is going perfectly, but it all functions)

3 Hours

With only 3 Hours left, my maze generator works, but not correctly. Here's a screenshot of the maze my algorithm created. I hope i can get this working before the time runs out :pensive:

Game Released!

With 15 Minutes to the deadline, I have released my game, and I am proud of it even though i couldn't get the maze function to work.

I'm in!

This is gonna be my second Ludum Dare and my system is gonna be more organised now so hopefully i'll do much better than i did last time.

Today's Progress

I have spent most of today working on art. I have made three screens so far, one a home screen, one an instructions screen, and one a credits screen. My timezone is EST (UTC-5) (the game was released at 9pm) so i'm falling a bit behind, but I still have Sunday and Monday so I be able to get it together.

Sure they're somewhat bad, but I'm no artist. If you have any criticism on any of the pictures, please tell me! As I said, i'm no artist, and I'd love to make this as great as possible.

Team Question

This year I'm going to be working with two other people on a team, and I was wondering if there was anything i needed to do to mark the game as team-made instead of just made by me.

UPDATE: Problem Solved!
