Wow… after nearly 40 hours of coding, designing, editing and writing I finally finished my first Ludum Dare game. Actually it’s the first game (or other personal project) I ever finished. That’s what I wanted to do and I made it and HECK – IT FEELS SO GOOD

You can find my competition entry here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-20/?action=preview&uid=3866

I had a wonderful weekend, learned a lot and can’t wait to play all the wonderful games you guys made.

My roommate just brought me some delicious flammkuchen. Isn’t he kind? My plans for today: coding is done, so I’ll do some graphics, new enemies, sound, more levels and balancing.

Hey guys – have been coding for more than 22 hours in a row now (not counting eating, etc.), so it’s time for some sleep. What I’ve done so far is here: may contain blood – depending on your skills

Oh – and if anyone could beat level 4 – let me know. Because it was too hard for me XD

Tomorrow I will add trigger to do events, possibly more enemies (bigger ones), more levels and sound. Good night @ all

Stupid helicopters chasing my little birdy. Well… I don’t have a helicopter sprite yet, so there are these nice humans instead. Oh – and I named the little bird Ludum (for no obvious reasons 8) ). So it’s now “Ludum – the magic bird of AWESOME” Next is: helicopter sprites XD, keys to unlock doors and triggers to do events (like spawn even more bullets)

Got the menu-graphics and story ready. Oh – and animated character sprites (I never did any animation before so I’m quite happy I finished one which looks good – YAY) All text is hand-written because standard fonts are just too boring. Game Engine is also finished so far – time to create some interesting levels.

It's dangerous indeed

It’s such a beautiful weather out here and all I do is sitting inside, eating pizza, drinking icetea and and producing code… Well, on the other hand my game now has some kind of menu, health bars, multiple levels and some performance issues fixed.

You are a bird, having a machine gun ’nuff said

Engine is mostly done, including map loading, collision and damage.

So here’s my setup. Since LD starts at 4am local time, I’m going to sleep now.

Okay, I’ll join the competition. It’s my first Ludum Dare but I’m looking forward to finish a game

I’ll use:

Technology: Javascript / HTML5

Graphics: Adobe Photoshop

Sound: sfxr, Audacity

Music: Anvil Studio, maybe musagi

Timelapse: Chronolapse

Even though I don’t plan to, I might use the jQuery framework. I hope we all have a wonderful weekend and end up with a lot of awesome games.
