After lots of trouble getting the level to scroll correctly, I focused on the player controls and physics and made some progress. Behold.

I took a bicycle ride to get some inspiration.

Inspiration +1
Stamina +1
Strength +1

No good game idea yet though…

I’ve been working for the last 8 weeks until yesterday, so I haven’t had a chance to prepare for this LD at all. I will see what I can come up with anyways.

My workspace:

Make shift keyboard action cam:

I will be using

• Flashdevelop
• Flashpunk
• Photoshop
• Cubase
• Sfxr

Watch it on youtube:

It’s finished!

Gameplay and graphics are pretty much finished now. Next up: music and sound. And if there is time; online highscores.

For those of you Ludum Darers who don’t recognise the green stuff, it’s vegetables. It’s like plants, only you can eat them.

Salmon!

Dessert!

Today I have mostly worked on some graphics for the splash screen and win screen. It’s coming along nicely, but I still have a lot to do.

The life of a Ludum Darer is sweet. Just look at the delicious food he gets to eat:

Yum!

FOOD!

And some fibre (IMPORTANT!)

2.5 hours of work so far, took me quite some time to settle on an idea and I’m still not sure about it. We will see…

I have been working on my game some more since the competition version.

New features include:

• Improved player control
• Improved physics & collision handling
• Enemies now have a bit longer line of sight, making them harder
• More logical levels, no more unexpected death drops
• Some new tiles and graphics
• Flickering and occluded lights
• A preloader

So I have painstakingly assembled a timelapse for my game. I didn’t have any video editing tools besides Chronolapse and Camtasia, so it was kind of annoying, but I’m happy with the result.

Update! Better version of the timelapse:

So, my game is now submitted. You can play it here (flash): PLAY!

Here’s the entry page: ENTRY

Time to rest.

Time to get some sleep and think about where I’m going to take the game from here.

See you in the morning.

Current version (not much you can do except jump around and admire the awsum lighting effectz and music):

After a slow start learning FlashPunk my pace is beginning to pick up (sort of). My game will be some kind of secret agent platformer, I haven’t come up with a name yet.

So far I have tile level loading, collision and stuff working, some graphics and some music.

Here’s a screenshot:

My preparations for this LD have been next to none, thanks to exams (had the last one yesterday). But I won’t let that stop me!

My plan:

Make a flash game using FlashPunk (and learn the library at the same time.)

Other tools:

• FlashDevelop
• Photoshop
• Sfxr
• Ableton Live (if time permits)

Obligatory desk photo

Here’s a video of me playing through my game.

A bit late to post this, but I thought the submission entry would show up on the blog.

So yea, the game is finished and submitted. You can play it here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-18/?action=rate&uid=2311

Enjoy!
