Here is a new screenshot of my game
i’m going world-of-goo style graphics

Still quite a bit of graphics to crunch here

for about an hour
Gues what i need to do? HOME-FREAKING-WORK!
at least it’s science, it aint too bad

I’ve been working on a bit of AI, and this is how it’s turned out.

A & D to move Left / Right. you cannot jump.

click to place portals. blue sucks, red blows (thankyou Douglas Adams). placing a red underground will make the terrain higher, if you are standing on it, you move up too. dropping ground on an enemy kills it, turning it into what is basically a ground tile (which you can use as a “weapon”, along with the rest of the ground)

DLlink

…the first one, actually XD
Well, i have about 1/2 – 2/3 of the game logic done, and a beautiful set of filler sprites that will gouge your eyes out with their ugliness. here’s a screenshot (notice how mt filler sprites have the same colour pallet as last LD )

Physics Galore

Yeah, see each of those outlined blocks? each one has it’s own rudimentary physics :facepalm:

I’ve finally managed to complete my history homework, so, four hours in, i can start my second LD (YAY )

I’ve got a couple of ideas, but i’m not sure. might scan in a few idea sheets, once i draw some up XD

lol, i have just taken unlucky to the next level (but thankfully i have worked around it)

My game workstation is my laptop… and i left the charging cord at school (i wouldn’t be surprised if you could hear faint cursing wherever you were). i managed to fix it by swapping the hard-drive into the *cough*school*cough* laptop (i’d never… XD) and booting into safe mode to get those drivers going. it’s not very fast, but still easily useable (as long as i dont have to re-boot, that takes 20 minutes ………)

I was thinking of using this LD as a sharp learning curve for me learning XNA in VC#, but it looks like im going to have to revert back to good old GM8 this time. maybe i can use XNA next time

Although i will probably be using Game Maker, i have started learning XNA, and MIGHT use that.
Wish me luck (i’m still finishing the XNA 2D tutorial XD)

Well, ive got homework to do, but i MIGHT be able to participate in LD#18!

Hope for the best

well, i submitted a ‘game’ for the test, and i’m running into major issues on the view all entries’ screen

Specs:

Windows 7 x64, running Firefox 4 beta 3

Hiya, its me again

I realise i hvn’t really been active over the past few months, but i will probably be participating in LD#18 (yay)

I will give final confirmation depending on the amount of homework i have that weekend, but look forward to a wacky GM game from me!

I must make an apology

I have, due to a pile of homework, been unable to rate many games at all.  will try to rate as many as i can, but I can’t promise that i will. If i didn’t rate yours, my sincere apologies. Good luck too all of you! ~ACWL

I’m still going to  be with the community, and will probably take part of LD#18, i will just be a little quiet.

I have noticed in the voting list that there are strange bronze and silver medals next to peoples names. May i ask what they are?

Well, i have finally finished my entry. It doesn’t have any background music, as i didn’t have time (and i can’t make music for shit) and not quite as many levels as i would have hoped ( i ran out of ideas). I’m happy with the end result, especially for a first LD.

ENJOY!

Another Level

This is a timelapse of the major part of Ludum Dare.

After a bit of Bug-fixing on the engine, i have now made the first four levels for my game, all of which are tutorials.

Screenie:

Bouncy!

well, i’ve got the game engine sorted now, now all i need to do is design the levels.

Screenie:

Wheeee!!!

EDIT: oh, yeah, you can switch block types by clicking on the icon in the HUD or using the mousewheel.

Well, i’ve got a good little HUD working now, which makes thing that much easier. Almost ready to make an engine release!

Hmm... few to many l'il dudes there....

Even more functionality!

Now we have:

Bridge: solid, can be walked on and underneath. can only be placed to the left or right of something

Box : solid, acts as a platform and/or wall. has physics (aka, it falls)

Jump pad: can only be placed on floors. makes l’il dudes jump

Screenie:

Wheee!!!!
