I’ve finally decided:

Library: Slick + MarteEngine (https://github.com/Gornova/MarteEngine/)

Graphics: Gimp

Sound: as3sfxr

I will pack all with JarSplice (http://ninjacave.com/jarsplice ) so anyone can test it

good luck to me and everyone!

In last post I’ve declared my idea: use Flashpunk to build my entry for LD22. but.. I don’t know. I’m more capable now with Java, using Slick and MarteEngine, so I’m doubt, more update will follow!

With same, “old” formula

Language: Actionscript 3

Ide: Flashdevelop

Library: Flashpunk  (Draknek Branch!) + Advanced Platform Engine + some light effect (I’m not sure)

Audio:  as3sfxr

Graphics: Gimp this time, most simple graphics!

Good luck to everyone!!

You can find a decent post mortem for my game here.

Site is back

And my game is ready, here the link: play now!

Post mortem soon as possible!

Second day will be dedicate to clean up the game, add some music, menus and some tutorial.

Game is finished, I need to add last two levels!!

p.s.: in the screenshot spiders and a blob is tring to kill you!

After 2 hours this morning all basic stuff is set:

• flashpunk basic project,
• moevement,
• few enemies,
• walls,
• life points

Gameplay? Escape from a prison full of monsters!!

I don’t know if I will have enought time to build a game, but I’ll try.

My declaration:

1) flashpunk as library with punk.ui for user interface, if I can also Explode image  and Lighting stuff from previous LD or Lightus we’ll see

2) all graphics made by myself (and so it will be some crap graphics), no more mistake with this!!

3) music using as as3sfxr

I don’t know if theme will allow a top down game but I think is the most simple game to do this time

I’ll try to think before do something, promise!!

Yeaaah!

A good game this time, you can find it here

Tomorrow a good postmortem, now go to bed and wait to play another entries.. thanks to all Pretty fun read everyone thoughts

After a good sleep, ready for an update:

• added light on start and end, and on every hero you can summon. When a hero dies, light stand
• added 2 other heroes: sorcerer and assassin,
• monsters are waiting for you in darkness

Update madness

• pathfinding using AStar working
• zombie and hero fight!

It’s dangerouse to go alone! So take this WAND!

Summon monsters, make a path go to treasure

Now working:

• level loading,
• sprite loading,
• hero selection using mouse,
• hero collision with walls

Next? put some gameplay into it

Not a good theme, but I will do my best

My final declaration for LD20:

1. I will use flashpunk (1.5)
2. I will use this flashpunk extensions/libraries (https://github.com/RichardMarks/punk.ui , https://github.com/RichardMarks/FPX )
3. I will use this avesome tileset for Desktop Dungeons
4. for sounds as3sfxr

Plan:

• go to bed
• wake up, make some real work,
• read carefully LD20 theme
• design design design design
• make a quick prototype
• iterate

fun for everyone!!

I want this time to do a decent game 

So I’m in!

My tools:

• flashpunk
• flashdevelop
• flash player 10

Ideas? Wait for final theme

Good luck to everyone!

6 hours… and a game done? Seems to be impossible, but my crappy, little game is done.

Is strange talk it now, but I’ve spend my time on:

- 1 hour on a good game idea, abandoned,

- 2 hour in internet search about an inspiration,

- 1 hour in let my mind “flow” into the code,

- 3 hour of programming,

Next LD I will partecipate, I’ll need more time to spend on this.. but for now I’m happy.. my game is criptic, like my english, so understand it is  a “discovery“.

Play RandomLD19 now!

p.s: source code uses Flashpunk and is a project for FlexBuilder 3, all images are done with Gimp, like sounds build with as3sfxr. Code is a pain: no comments, lot of work to do, I can do better!

For now seems to be a mix betwen a tower defense and a shump, but the way you discover gameplay is core element

(with audio )

Something is moving: in three hours I have an idea, some visual stuff moving on screen and some random audio

Gameplay?? Not too fast!

Keep cooding!

Discovery? Let’s start thinking something

Now in Italy is morning and snow no more fall!

Thanks to Ludum dare community, I’ve discovered incredible as3sfxr !! I will use it for my music/sounds if i have time
