Ludum Dare 47

Well it's not happening people! No game this LD

Needless to say I got like 3-4 hours and that was about it. That is what happens when you have to adult I guess. Will enjoy playing some of the games. And always love the buzz of all games being developed, see ya for the next one hopefully with a little more time.

I walk away with some grass and water tiles and a single wizard sprite frame.

I'm in!

I am so in, we shall see what kind of things I can actually get done this time around.

In past LDs there has just been so much to do I wasn't able to scale back my game ideas to even the most reasonable size.

So we shall see if I can change my process or keep ideas doable. Especially with such limited time.

Good luck all 馃憤

Tea with Jam n bread

Were my kids kind enough to give me time to work on my entry. Uh No! No they were not. I got like two or three hours of work done the whole compo. But actually like the theme plenty of ideas. Started on one got done assets created well see what I get done this evening.

Here's the assets I've been using so far ld48-asset-pack-02.png

So, Looks like it's jam entry for me.

Made it just under the wire!

Wow I cannot believe I made it through the submission process, created an itch page and got my builds uploaded.

Thank goodness for that Makefile I created otherwise that process would have taken forever. Next I will need to script the submission here, plus screenshots etc.

Well at least you can go Deeper and Deeper

I'm in...

I'm IN

Using my 4 year old code base. I want to see how many LudumDare competitions it takes to get the code to a point where I'm able to make more complete games. This will be number 4. I have mainly only added to the code during ludumdare.

I am going to be continuing development of my LD48 entry.

Follow me on Twitter if you want to see how it turns out.

Behavior Trees in 88 lines

I finally get to give my insanely simple behavior tree code a test run. At 88 lines it sure gives me some amazing options. Now to work on the enemy behavior tree.

Well that was a blast...

At the beginning of the competition after working on a few ideas of the theme, I decided I would just simply strive to hit a few goals. Mainly on the code side. I wanted to accomplish some of the following.

  • multi-collision mesh per object support
  • ai-behavior trees
  • writing a music track
  • making sounds fx
  • do more pixel art animations

Needless to say, I did really only two to of those only one of them worked out.

I was able to spend some time building a track in lmms though it wasn't any good.

However the AI behavior trees definitely were successful and will aid in all my future projects. The rest well I'll have to take some time when I want a break from whatever major project I am working on.

You can check out my progress here go to my itch page for a download.

It's gonna be the first time using pico-8 so we'll see how this goes.

Hope to see some great games out there...

Go make a game!

The slaughtering

I am in...

I'll be using pico-8 for this ld.

I slaughtered way more themes this time than I ever have. Whats going on people!

:stuckouttonguewinkingeye:

I has an idea

All I will say is .... sleep delivery .... for now!!!! :sleeping:

Core Loop Done

And we have this... needs work

Go try the early version Play sleep-delivery.png

Submit early, or wait????

I am looking for some advice on this. I have tried submitting early before but there is this 'unfinished' option.

Does this mean if I submit my entry that I am saying it's COMPLETE! Can I not update it repeatedly up till the compo end time? I feel like that should be fine. I also submit so that if I don't make working progress by the end of the compo at least I have something there.

If the game is playable why not share?

Thoughts?

Baaaa! Baaaa! See how many sheep you can deliver

This is a bit of a pivot and still missing some main stays of a game, title screen, more depth and such updated backgrounds etc.

I was going to go for catching sheep to deliver sleep. Am changing it a bit to be simply sheep delivery.

Play Here

Down to the last 3 hours... need more!

Polished a bit of the interface and added some transitions. Made some fences, road, barn etc... Looking better now, need some music (will probably be bad but need to try).

Wish I could add some more gameplay elements we'll see if I can.
