After have fought against mencoder’s options (the manual is far too dense, too many options), I finally uploaded it to YouTube. It’s still processing it for now, but should be available soon…

Here’s the video:

Bye ! See you all next time !

After a final rush to put together something I could submit, I can finally relax ! Pfiuuu….

It was my first LD48, and I must admit that I loved it ! Really ! I had never attended to such events, but now I’ll try to participate in most of them. It’s incredibly faster to make a game during LD than it is when you have the opportunity to do something else…

So, a big thank you to LD !

Next time, I’ll try not to lose too much time chatting on the IRC channel !

Here are the new graphics, enjoy !

Title screen

The “receiver” sprite is still missing, but there’s a background image, and better sprites:

No receiver activated.

One receiver activated, but "discovery" feature not implemented. :/

I must speed up for the 6 remaining hours… Bye bye IRC !

The end is near ! Not the end of my game, though… But I’m still hopeful because level design should be fast. It would be great to have finished the code in 3 hours. Anyway, here’s my dinner:

Nothing better while coding

And a screenshot of the work in progress:

Not quite ready yet...

See ya !

It’s 22:30 here in France, and it was really time to eat ! Here’s what I’m having:

Dinner

Sorry, I could resist eating before taking the photo…

Hey there ! I spent a few hours thinking about the theme, and I’ve really had a hard time finding a good (in my opinion ) idea for a game:

The basic game principles of my game

And here’s the meal I ate four hours ago (I couldn’t upload it before because of Bluetooth issues, but then I realized I had a USB cable for my phone xD ):

That was good !

Now: it’s time to implement the game !

I woke up three hours ago. First thing I did: start the computer and wait for the LD page to reload. Then I saw: DISCOVERY !  I decided to make the title screen and kind of a soundtrack (but really short) because I was a inspired, but I had no idea what for a game I could make. So here’s the title screen:

I’m gonna start coding now. I just compiled the latest wxWidgets library.

This will be my first LD, I’m not sure I will be able to create anything playable but it’s a good way to know what I can do in 2 days ! This week-end can only be great !

My tools will be:

• Language: C++
• IDE: KDevelop
• Libraries: wxWidgets, SDL or SFML
• Art: Inkscape, The GIMP and my mouse
• Audio: LMMS, with Yamaha PSR-E423 keyboard
