Hi folks!

I will once again be in this LD I just.. can’t.. wait to start it!

Tools used :

• flash / haxe (language)
• FlashDevelop (IDE)
• Photoshop (art)
• Musagi, SFXR, LabChirp, Audacity (sounds)
• Chronolapse (timelapse)
• GIT (maybe) for the source code

Play the game

What was great:

• I was really happy when the overall combat feeling! Diablo 3 inspired me a lot, they use many great & clever tricks to achieve this feeling.
• the traditional beat-em-up gameplay is faithful to original models
• I made a music Well, I know it sucks and it is really basic, but I made one!
• I was in coding fury on Saturday Lots of work has been done in quite a short time!

What went wrong :

• I couldn’t figure a game idea until Saturday morning, and thus lost lots of time
• I wasn’t really efficient on Sunday : I lost myself in trivial detail, and didn’t work on important parts…
• couldn’t make a decent ending

This leaves lots of room for a post compo version, so maybe I will work on that soon

Because kicking a kitten in a beat-em-up is fun.

Your boss doesn’t recognize your talent and the pay is not enough? Take the extra money directly from your colleagues.

I’m very happy with the animations so far You can try an old version here : link

I will now start working the ennemies AI… Pretty tough part…

Trying to make a nice punch anim for my beat-em-up

Try it here : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4952054/ludumdare24/demo02/index.html

Just trying the basic controls, still lots of things to do!

Use ARROWS + SPACE

Now I can repel ennemies properly, based on their actual weight

This time, I will make a Beat-em-up : remember street of Rage? You get the point!

The principle is simple: you play as a corporate employee and you make your way in the hierarchy and try to evolve in the company beating up all your (evil, of course) collegues. Make them suffer, be the best…

Prepare for battle!

Woot!

As usual, I will be using :

• the amazing haxe language (see www.haxe.org)
• Photoshop
• Chronolapse
• LabChirp
• if-I-have-time : SunVox synth
• if-I-have-lotsa-time : Musagi

I look like a zombie and I’m too tired to write anything more…
But before falling asleep, a final post:
IT’S DONE! WOOHOO!

Play it now

I finished the main story and added extra love in the game

• complete ingame help if you are stuck)
• full story
• ending sequence

I also worked on a transition effect (perlin + displacement) :

I added the KEY action in my game: remember. It is used to gather clues about past informations and to… well, I can’t talk about this special thing yet cause it would spoil the game!

The inventory is now 75% working, you can pick and manipulate things in the scene, etc. I REALLY underestimated the amount of work needed to work on a SCUMVM-like game… But hell.. It’s really cool too

Yeah, feels like good ol’ days, when Maniac mansion ruled the world!

…But I’m too dumb to look at anything else than the camera.

I’m still wandering without a really precise idea of the gameplay. So here is the first (and only) room. Your world.

I finally found my concept, 3h after the announce… My interpretation about tiny world will be confinement, survival and how a small limited place has become the player whole and only “world”.

We had to set up a pyramid of chair to put my laptop on it… But it works!
