Play it – Rate it – Don’t steal it!

I am motherfiretrucking done! It took ages and it was exhausting! Too tired to say anything else.

Gotta get to bed to get at least 6 hours of sleep.

You can open the crates and with a certain chance you’ll soon be followed by a zombie. If your health == 0 you’ll be taken to gray screen. Else you can just be mean to the zombies ’cause they’re pretty dumb.

22 Hours in. 1 a.m! Tired as f**k. Finally did something!

DOWNLOAD – Linky!

So, basically you can walk around and open the randomly spawned crates. You can also push the crates. That’s for the tactical factor of the game.

Walking – Arrow Keys
Opening Crates – Space while standing close to them

OMFG, THERE ARE WALLS!

Soo. Yeah. I’ll just record an update for the documentary, then I’ll go sleep for 3 hours or something. I’m just incredibly tired right now.

This is also a test of sound and video quality. Both suck, but these are the best settings I have :<

Original Post – Teaser also found there!

There were LOADS of awesome themes in Round 2. Then there were some not-so-great themes.

Also: Evolution needs a -1 :p

You can watch a trailer in the original post now:

TRAILER:

TEASER #1:

Basically this is another thing for a school presentation. This time about programming in general.

This is some sort of “documentary” about the general course of a Main-LD. Showing off how game-coding competitions work.

I’m gonna record a little bit of me talking/showing progress of my game/drinking water coffee etc. roughly every 2-3 hours. All this footage will then be made into a 20-40 minute long video.

Now comes the interesting part:

As I live in Austria, the video for the presentation will be in German.

But if anyone wants me to do so, I will also record separate English footage right after I recorded the German one. This could possibly be an interesting thing for the community, I think. I don’t know if anyone is interested, though.

So, if this sound interesting to you leave a comment/heart.

SHOW SOME SUPPORT ON TWITTER: Read and tweet – The long term for retweet! (Not really)

Sincerely,

- Folis (Richard)

I’ll go for a different setup now:

So, let’s see.

Language/Tool: Prefered LUA; else GML.
* Library: Löve2D

Music: FL Studio (Demo); Just because everybody liked the music ¬_¬
* Sound FX: SFXR

IDE to yell at when something’s not working: Notepad++

Other resources of staying alive:
* Coffee
* Exactly one pizza
* Water/Coke/Other Stuff to drink
* Crispy stuff
* Daily Walk
* Fun

Optional:
* Bugs

Let’s go for a success once again in my 5th LD. (It feels weird writing that..)

UPDATE: Now with more glittery stuff and an unnecessary (it’s still awesome, though) “Code your game in 48 hours!” on the side

I’m slacki… err.. listening to my CS teacher. And I just experimented with Photoshop a bit.

If green/black isn’t your style of colour you won’t like it.

The result is this: Wallpaperz!

It’s only 1280×1024, but it looks fine on 1920×1080.

If you want, use it, share it, love it. (If you do share it, please just link back to me.)

As I’ve got 2 presentations at school, and I want to show the people some actual stuff.

This is why I wrote this little game: Pilot!

“Punkte” = Score – Feel free to post your score here :p

It’s about dodging asteroids. If you like arcade stuff, you should have some nice fun with it, else you may just jump out of the window. ^_.^

And as a little treat it features the music from my LD #21 Entry – Runner.. and his problems! – because everyone who played it, loved the music :p

VERY, VERY IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE:

I have to do a full citation!
Please send me an e-mail to richard.blechinger@hotmail.com, include your FULL NAME, OR your FIRST NAME and the FIRST LETTER of your LAST NAME, i.e “Johnny M.”, if you want to be kept anonymous.

That’s it. Now you can read the rest of the article.

You have 2 weeks.

Post anything you know about “indie”, answers to common questions, opinions, and more, I can convert any data.

• Do you think you could live off your hobby?
  Your definition of “indie” vs. “AAA”,
  Post-Mortems,
  Success (or terrible failure),
  Which language you use,
  Which IDE you prefer,
  Indie-Magazines,
  Articles,
  Games (Windows, or Flash/HTML5/Java),
  Examples of random code snippets (Commented if possible, please)
  ANYTHING.

It doesn’t have to be all too technical, because my classmates aren’t exactly computing geniuses. (Some random commented code snippets are okay, though. Just for showing them what’s going on behind the scenes)

Also, if I meet any of you on IRC while I’m slacking, I may ask stuff :p

There you go, bombard me, LD-Community!

Actually, he didn't. But.. *psssh!*

The HUD is coming along well, I need to make scrolling text for it, then inventory and stats.

Now, onto the adventurous cookie huntz!

Woah! Not-so-niftyness!

Welcome to moving squares and a HUD.. thingy.. I still.. need to properly implement!

The family friendly game!

There’s the player (green square), the walls (dark brown square), a chest (violet chest-square thingy) and the HUD (the rest of the screen)!

That’s it. Back to work.

It’s been a while.

Now I came up with something!

The simple idea is:

OMG!

A 2D Dungeon Crawler thing with a mix of RPG and puzzles!

Yeah. That’s about it. I’ll get started tomorrow.

I got a blog too.

http://folischallenge.tumblr.com/ <- That one

I'll update there, and maybe twice per week here.

That's it.

If you ask: “Why Ex-Dodge!?”

I got an answer for you.

Is this game Dodge?

You may say, no it isn’t, but know one thing. It actually is.

So what happened to it? To be honest, I don’t really know. It all started when I worked on the lighting. At first I wanted to do the actual lighting system, then I experimented with lamps to pick up and changed the graphics to be darker. Moment after moment, a game formed in my head. A not all to family friendly game. Then I started working on it and the outcome can be seen above. As this is definitely not Dodge anymore I changed the name to: Codename Orbit. This is only the temporary Codename if you get it..

And now. This is the update for this time.

.. what do you like the most about making games?

Coding?
Level Design?
Drawing Sprites?

I’d be interested to know.

I even start: My favorite thing about making games is, that I can create whole worlds. If I can imagine something, I can build it! And that is the general fun for me. Coding is more or less just what I do to create those imaginations.
