For those of you who will be keeping a blog of your progress, let us know by using the CONTACT button on the site and you might be featured!

Good luck to all contestants, we’re sure this is going to be another awesomazing LD!

After realizing what we felt was a serious shortcoming on the South African Indie Games scene, we created Indie Games SA. So if you’re from South-Africa and are interested in Indie Dev (Of course you are, what am I saying?) then hop onto the site!

Congratulations on everyone who finished their games. I very much enjoyed making a game this weekend with all of you. Seeing your progress posts is the second best part of LD!

I’ve implemented a whole bunch of little enhancements (mostly performance) and fixed a few bugs. Your dungeon now features a boss-dude that will stay in the middle of your dungeon. Protect him!

Something that adds a lot of depth to the gameplay is the fog of war that nearly made me rip out my hair trying to implement effectively.

I have passed the first tiredness barrier (the next one should come up in 4-5 hours) and as such I am working at 2x speed. That, or everything is just going by very slowly.

I’ve added a new type of mine-able tile called the Jewel tile. It gives you much more gold than normal gold tiles. Also, all mobs now have fancy HP bars so you know when you’re about to die. HP recharges if the mob isn’t in combat.

Starting to get a bit tired now. I’ve done quite a bit in the last two hours.

I’ve finally managed to fix a bug in the AI that was annoying me very much. Now I need to do some code refactoring as I’m getting sick of having to spend half of my time scrolling through code files.

I’ve made the gold shinier, added a minimap and made a bunch of performance enhancements.

I hope everyone is making good progress and of course, having lots of fun.

Here’s my first screenshot. As always I’m keeping a more detailed log of what I’m doing on [my blog].

Hello there LD community! I’ve missed every single one of you (except for those who I’ve never met and the select few who have a fervent hate for me.)

As always, I’ll keep everyone informed of my progress on my blog.

Just a quick update. Had to take our poor dog to the vet this morning, took a huge chunk of my time, but I’m back on track.

Progress on my blog.

Hope everything is going well with everyone’s entries. Have fun!

Gonna get some sleep and I’ll be back with you lot tomorrow. Good luck to everyone and thanks for all your posts, I’ve really enjoyed seeing what you’re up to. As always, my progress is on my blog. G’night from South Africa.

Over 12 hours of solid programming and I’m starting to like where this is going. But that might be the dementia. As before, progress is on my blog. Here’s a screeny:

Been at it for almost 7 hours now and I’m moderately pleased with the results. Here’s a screenshot for you (or you can check out my blog here).
