Quick warmup sketch made in Cherrybrush:

Radio tuned to the Secret Sound Service. Take care, everyone! Here’s wishing a fruitful and productive LD48.

Edit: a nearly-pointless “song” made in Musagi a few days ago: Jungle Exploration Theme (ca. 1996)

Also, I may or may not be twittering about the process.

I’ve been trying to familiarize myself with Flixel in preparation for the Big Compo next weekend. Really psyched about it!

I wanted to focus on atmosphere, and this included music. Hopefully, I won’t be scrambling to figure out how to do basic things this time around (as opposed to last time). The goal is to spend time on content, playability, and completion, instead of “getting a game working”.

Along with Flixel, I will probably be using my HSB color utility class (adapted from somewhere on the internet).

You can play my warm-up game-like thing, “Distant Chimneys”, on my blog:

What an awesome weekend.

This competition has finally gotten me to complete a game. Until now I was a game-finishing virgin.

I want to thank all who were involved – it was great.

You can see my entry here:

just a few hours left, still some features I want to add.

Leaving Satisfactoria.

We has some stars.

Here is an initial screenshot for my epic tale of self-discovery among the stars. Code named: Satisfactoria.

This is in pygame, of course.  I’m taking a quick lunch break and then off to convert this baby to world coordinates.

My mantra for this project:

…It’s something between discovering and witnessing.

This is me, I have arrived.

Getting psyched about this competition. I’ve been playing with Unity, but I may also look into pygame. Other than that, I have no plan whatsoever.

Is there some place I need to sign up at? Or do I just start making a game when the timer gets to zero?

Good luck to everyone!
