Again, it was very fun to build it!

You Can Play It Here!

It was a very fun and productive day!

Play The Game Here! (May take some time to load)

It’s  a game.

You, platforms, someone, bats and lives!

So good morning everyone!

I just started to work on my game 2 hours ago.

I got the main idea of the game.

I really need some graphics…

TY Medice for the great idea!

Happy New Year 2012!!!!!

I just uploaded my game “None Alone – Xmas Edition”!

The same as the original game but now with Xmas graphics and snow flakes! Yay!

Rate And Play ”None Alone” And “None Alone - Xmas Edition” Here 

So, after I had some time to relax from the latest great Ludum Dare #22 I have the power to do my first postmortem! Yay!

Overall

I actually managed to finish a real game in less than 48 hours! Something that I never done before!

I got the idea of the game very easily: ALONE = Lonely People = People who want to meet other people = We have a game!

The idea was that there are lonely people who don’t want to be alone anymore and you have to help them meet each other.

1. Getting the platformer basics to work And the people AI

This part was pretty easy:

• I used flan to create a simple map.
• I programmed a simple algorithm which took an exported flan map and added blocks to the screen according to the exported flan map.
• I programmed a simple people AI which made them walk to the left until they hit a wall and then go to the right and so on…

2. Making the simple tools

At first I had some problems with the tools so I made two types of blocks: airBlock and dirtBlock.

• When the player clicks a dirtBlock and the tool which is selected on the inventory is item “0 – Hammer” the dirtBlock should turn into an airBlock.
• When the player clicks an airBlock and the tool which is selected on the inventory is item “1 – Dirt” the airBlock should turn into a dirtBlock.

3. Making the trampoline and the game over screen

• Added a trampoline which you can place on the map and when a people overlaps it the people is launched into the air.
• Added a game over screen which is activated when someone falls out of the screen.
• Added a little fade in fade out between levels.

4. Making a lot of new levels

Making a lot of levels with some help of my friend idea.

5. Day 2 – Making all the menus and implement Kongregate API

Making the menus was very fun and fast!

I am pretty familiar with the Kongregate API so it was also pretty easy to me to implement it on the game!

== At This Point I Finished The Game ==

To summarize

I was well prepared to the competition and it helped me a lot. I know flixel and Flash Develop very good and it was fun to make a game with them.

In addition, I made a game in the Mini-LD and the Warmup so I was even more ready to the compo.

I had some great times on my first LD, I am looking for next LD and I am very proud of myself that I managed to build such a game (I’m fourteen years old).

This was a great day of programming!

I managed to do alot of programming more than what I expected for today.

These were some great 12 hours of coding.

I managed to:

• Using flan (for the first time)
• Adding graphics (kinda)
• Adding music
• Trying justin.tv broadcasting
• Getting ready for the real thing
• Actually finish a game

It went very at the overall. I had some problems with using flan because it was my first time using it but I managed to get over this problem.
