I started working on this at about half past 9 local time (two and a half hours ago) and now have a simple engine built that I can play with.

As you can see, it’s very basic at the moment, and looks a bit like Asteroids (which I have made in the past) but that’s only due to me not bothering to change the background colour to a blue.

All objects will be made up of simple shapes. At the moment I have only implemented rectangles and triangles; the funny shapes you can see are just part of the background at the moment and I made them to make sure everything worked with displaying before implementing the shapes, they might even get removed entirely.

The objective of the game is to fend off increasingly advanced enemies made from similar simple shapes to you, that slowly evolve depending upon which ones last longer than the others. I plan on using a very simple genetic algorithm for cross-breeding the enemies to make them slowly evolve.

Think how Spore’s microbe stage worked and my game will hopefully be a bit similar but not as pretty and with more emphasis on evolution instead of design.

So… I fell asleep and woke up 2 hours after the theme was revealed. Whoops. Didn’t plan that.
I’ve been working on the game ever since, and now it’s 10 AM. Didn’t plan that, either.

So here’s what I have so far…

I spent most of my time developing the world tiles and the … un … way that the tiles ‘work’.
The environment is destructible, and the world will reform itself after tiles are destroyed.
The core gameplay will be focused around the destruction and regeneration of these tiles.
Basic character movement is working, and the main character has a walking animation for all 4 directions.

My next move is to create the special abilities of the main character, then I’ll work on the enemies and the overall structure and flow of the game that will lead to some sort of endgame.

Then… SFX and MUSIC.

HOPEFULLY.

See ya’ll suckaz when I wake up… ugh.

4 hours in I got some completed level assets and basic jumping/collision from my basecode.

More concept and sketches

Assets in game, some partly colored and some have only lines (ignore the ninja, it will be replaced by a the-far-side looking scientist dude)

Hey there,

We’ve got the code to 70% and art at 40% done.
We’ve made a little screenshot with our hero in it.

The story is about a hermit who survives on his own and wants to be left alone.

Here’s our dinner:

Our little guardian has just devoured an intruder entering our danger room:

Are you sure there is no one there?

Slow progress on the environment…

Modeled in Modo, textures with Photoshop and FilterForge, rendered in Unity

After an incredibly long night of arting and idea-ing… I’ve come up with my idea.

Presenting: AB-ALONE

So what is it? I’m not sure, yet… but I have a dang good idea. The main character is partially animated, and the set pieces are partially drawn. The code is partially started, and my mind is partially blown. It’s late. I’m tired. SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW!

This is my first time to enter this competition. I am developing 2d platform/puzzle game. It is called “Saving his code”.

STORY

Game is about two friends Tim and John. Tim is a game developer. One night unknown hacker stole his game source code. But… Tim has a big problem! He must finish his game in 10 days, and he doesn’t have his source code. So he calls John to help him find the guy that stole his source code.  In that point your mission starts!

TOOLS

I am developing this game in GameMaker. For graphics I am using Inkscape (vector art) and GIMP for rasters.

SCREEN 1
I started making this game before couple  hours ago, so this is a first screen…  Main menu.

Main menu 1st build (Click to enlarge!)

A 2d puzzle platformer? How original! Here is the first screenshot of Aband0n where you will be doing some interesting things with viewports.

Hello mates !

To tell the truth I don’t like this theme. Also, this is my first attempt to any game making’s jam. I hope I’ll find a way to make my game

I have plenty of food, coke and coffee. So I’m ready. Here’s my idea :

I’m taking the word ‘Discovery’ as what happen when you Explore & Stuff. So it will be a Space RTS gameplay where at start you control a “home world planet” bound to a sun with (fake) gravity – I sucks at physics things. On the journey, you’ll have fight in space battles against (scary?) aliens. Your goal is to expand, control the solar system(s) and eliminate all the aliens…

Rotating planets :

By the way, the game is in Python2.6, using pygame (SDL) and pycairo (Cairo) library. Currently on GNU/Linux, I hope Windows version will be fine.

I have some progress to report.

First off, breakfast:

nomies

Second of all, here’s that snazzy starfield I promised:

oooh, pretty

If all goes well, that will be the area for the final boss in the game. For now it’s just a pretty title screen. Now comes the question. White stars or colored stars? Hmm.
