Night Walk – MiniLD 31 FINAL

jarnik — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 11:22:31 +0000

I have never participated in a Mini LD and wanted to give it a try, besides the theme seemed quite intriguing. Instead of the whole weekend, I have dedicated just around 6 hours to this Mini LD. I have completed all three of my personal goals: make a game in haXe, create sound effects from recordings and complete the prototype.

The game has 4 stages and is controlled just by the SPACEBAR.
I have thoroughly enjoyed making monster sounds

Looking forward for other entries!

Leave Me Alone! (puzzle) – Timelapse

soy_yuma — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 07:58:09 +0000

I finished my first complete game ever in this Ludum Dare!

Screenshot dump!

I’m afraid I had more fun developing it than anybody will get by playing it (it’s sad but realistic). If you to give it a try I’ll leave some links:

Play/Rate the game here (link).
Game source code in Mercurial repository (link).
Development blog in Posterous (link) (I didn’t want to saturate Ludum Dare’s blog posting there, but now I realize that was a mistake).
Timelapse of the entire process (link).
Some Link I found on Internet (this pun cost me the 10 game-developer followers I had in Twitter)

Just in case anyone makes a kitten compilation of LD 22 (wink, wink) I leave mine here to make free use of it (it is really ugly and small though).

Alone in the Scary Darkness with Zombies (final version video)

PLAY THE FINAL VERSION

So I managed to finish a game. Not in 48 hours as intended but 72 Well, I thought that might be the case. So I didn’t worry too much when I lost a lot of time doing the cute little character.

Can you find the kitty?

Volcanox

leafo — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:45:53 +0000

Although I finished this yesterday at the deadline, I’m posting it now because the site isn’t (as) super laggy.

Proudly presenting Volcanox:

About

Volcanox is platformer that takes place on a distant planet, coded entirely in my own programming language. Our hero is stranded alone with a volcano in his path, and he must find a way out! There’s only one level and enemy, but it’s a fairly long level and the enemies are annoyingly hard. So plenty of replay value. There is an end for those brave enough to get there. It also times you, so you can share results with your friends.

I put up a small homepage for the game as well, so it’s not lost in this blog.

Install directions

Windows:

Extract and run the executable: volcanox.zip

Other Platforms:

Install the LÖVE game engine as directed on their site. Download the .love file, and open it with the game engine.

Source

The source is hosted on GitHub.

Issues

After speaking to some Windows players (after the deadline) I’ve found out that some of them have a problem with moving, where one direction is faster than the other. I also have heard of an issue where the sound effects break after playing initially. I was unable to reproduce any of these problems on my development machine (linux) so my apologies to those who encounter these problems during their playthrough.

Leave me Alone!!, my game for Ludum Dare 22

arielsan — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 13:52:34 +0000

To continue with tradition, I made a game for this Ludum Dare named Leave me Alone!! (sadly, it seems like there are 3 or more games named that way).

I had little time to spend making the game so I targeted a simple game with almost no graphics nor sounds but fun.

The story behind the game is, you have to isolate a particle from other particles to keep the world safe, if they make contact then the world explodes in a mega hyper super duper explosion (use your imagination).

Here is a screenshot:

And here is a gameplay video.

Play it, rate it and love it.

Finished my first LD game!

h.attila — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 03:32:54 +0000

I have successfully finished my very first LD game, The Last Man on Earth.

You play as the last survivor of an alien invasion, your goal is to avenge your species by clearing out an alien spaceship.
It is a pretty hard game, but please don’t get mad at me – I had no time to balance the gameplay.
The game has two endings… and a kitten.

It has been great fun, I would love to participate in the future, too.

kumber — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 02:58:58 +0000

I don’t believe it! I really finished the game and this time seems fun to play

However, I didn’t have time to add music and sound effects. Maybe I’ll add them in a post-compo version…

Screenshot of the finished game!

The entry (source and web version) is here. Now I go to sleep

Success!

nili — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 02:06:18 +0000

I finished my game. I’m a bit disappointed with how little actual gameplay that made it in, but it can be considered complete, working and not too shabby.

Here are a couple of traditional pictures for your entertainment/annoyance:

Kitch is Done

Kitch — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 22:32:21 +0000

Well, time to get it all packaged. Been a wild ride, but I feel I’m at a point where I can call it done and be happy.

Unless there’s time to add just one… more… thing….

Now to package everything up, compile my timelapese, post a gameplay video…. and

crash….

hard…

Final Update – Beam me up, Scotty

Colto — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:57:46 +0000

I’m afraid I must shamefully bow out. May a thousand needles pierce my body and my organs liquefy (or something similar – doubtful that will happen, though).

Unfortunately, too many things went wrong from the start. The theme alone (see what I did there?) was enough for a major brainfart, and I lost Friday evening simply thinking about what to do.

I did come up with a design, though… which was then gracefully shredded to pieces and flushed down the toilet (wanted to do a survival/Castaway type game on a desert island). I then moved on to doing a side-scrolling 2d shooter, where overgrown manimals of all kind attacked the player and randomly exploded.

Now, even if the concept isn’t half bad (let’s call it “minimalistic” for the politically-correct folks out there), I kept encountering seemingly simple, yet mind-boggling problems. Admittedly, I haven’t done simple XNA sprite animations in a while, but this weekend made me feel like I should be going back to school (or subliminally learning animation code while sleeping).

So there I am. With 4 hours to go until close, animations that aren’t showing, no music or sound effects, no weapon sprites made yet, some serious lack of sleep, a massive headache and a caffeine overload…

I wish the best of luck to the other participants. I learned so much this weekend, and will be more than prepared to tackle the next Ludum Dare.

Warm-up Complete! – Journey to the Bottom of the Sea

mezoom — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 02:54:07 +0000

It’s done!

I managed to finish everything I said I would add (except for music), so I feel pretty good about calling this complete.

Apparently I can’t submit it though, presumably because I already submitted a warmup. Is it one entry per account? I thought Ludum Dare allowed you to enter as many games as you’d like.

Oh well, here is the link to the final version anyway.
