Well I’ve made a few more maps and another song for the game. My MOB class got an overhaul; it’s designed for pretty much everything so far. Animated, non animated, moving, non moving, setting a certain amount of pixels to wonder, moving in a direction and never stopping (missile type). SOo yeah. I think I’m only going to have time to put one mini boss in this game unfortunately. Oh well, I’ve been working really hard (not a super great artist, but decent enough to make games like this IMO). I also made the player able to shoot eggs; but so far they don’t actually kill any of the enemies. I hate collision detection in java so I’ve been slacking off on that section .

I’m almost finished with my game engine (rather, I believe I am); I’ve done numerous improvements to the game since my last journal (one would hope so) so right now I’ve just got to finish off the game. I also composed another short song for the game. No real great new screenshots though.

Well I’ve created a simple cutscene system to go along with my game. It autoprogresses every 5 seconds. I think it’s good enough for ludum

Well I’ve just finished composing 2 songs, they are both very short but you guys can understand why. I also generated some sfx with sfxr. I’ve also converted all of the sound files to Java’s .snd (or .au) format, and got the sounds loading and playing happily.

Well I created a menu screen for this game, and decided to name it Balkor.

Well here’s some oldish images from photobucket. They’re quite large.

Hehe, last photo is great. I’ve had this desk since I was like 5 so it has all of my stickers and crayon markings all over it.

Hello, this is going to be my first LudumDare, and I decided I wanted to create a timelapse movie. Well, I created ETL or Easy Time Lapse. Choose a file format (BMP or JPG), a minute interval (cannot be decimals), and click the button to begin. Tada! Screenshots will be created in a /screens directory.

Random info

1. If you create a timelapse ever 1 minute, you will have 2880 images.
2. The size of those bitmaps will be approximately 8.5gb
3. The size of those jpegs will be approximately 500mb

Based on 3mb for BMP, 170kb for JPEG. The quality of the jpegs isn’t bad either, in fact, it’s great. I encourage you to try it out before hand, and sorry for releasing this so soon to the competition start but I hope at least one person will use it .

This program also doesn’t do anything fancy like adding in the time to the image. I wanted to release it ASAP.
