Nearly there.  Just one more sprite to finish, and I think that’s it.  So just enough time share the title screen, which I’ve now eaten

Now to get this thing finished up and submitted…

Time for some sound effects!

Also, a delicious cherry limeade:

Yay. Rescue the escaping villagers from the AWOD. Rudimentary AI works, there is already one losing condition and I got a particle system ready. Finally some results.

Prost!

I just made myself a huge omlette which my sister and I shared today for brunch. Here’s a pic:

It’s a 3 egg omlette with bacon and spanich and bell pepper, tomato, and basil, along with 2 pieces of toast and a scone. As you can already probably tell, it was delicious. I’m pretty happy now. Back to work now…

ahhh, breakfast!

Food photo for me and pythong (picture related).

Meetup at university, with three kinds of Fritz Cola and tasty food (except we forget plates).

Now if the wireless was a little bit more stable for me…

Good morning sunshines. It’s time to code again. List of priorities is as follows:

1. Single/Multiplayer XML setting
2. ASSPLOSIONS (particle system)
3. Removal of walls on dying (assplosion related)
4. Start countdown
5. Camera fixes (still some problems when player can’t see why he died)
6. Sound
7. Speedup as you ride along wall of other player to catch up on him
8. Best out of 10 rounds highscore system
9. Death cam replays
10. Player names in XML
11. Networked multiplayer (as opposed to split screen that is now)
12. AI, if there will be enough time.

And here is some breakfast of champions:

My game already looks quite okay, now it’s finally time for some gameplay coding.

With coffee and some leftover pineapple slices!

the Louisiana BBQ down the block will get official mention in my game credits — gumbo, yam pie, baked beans, potato salad, and a snack earlier on top. I hope it’s OK that I seem to be paying more attention to my food photos than screens of my game…I’m very happy with how things are going, and I think I can I have something playable tomorrow, and hopefully with more graphics and sounds.

this stuff was smuggled straight out of colombia! so goooood

mmm day old cold chinese!  my favorite coding food :)  (seriously i always order a ton of chinese before a compo starts and it lasts me a few days)

also a video of my progress so far.  i have a spinning wall of doom!

(can’t get embedding to work…)

it isn’t breakfast time here but i’m just now getting around to uploading breakfast photos.  ahhh kroger-brand cereal, so cheap and tasty

Here’s where I’m working most of the weekend. I’d like to clean it up a bit, but there’s no time for that this weekend =). I’ve got an second monitor I could use with xinerama, but that make the timelapse impossible to follow, so I won’t be. On the left is my afternoon snack, tortilla shell things with sliced chicken and Emmental on top. There’s also a bunch of Sambal Oelek under the chicken, just to make it a little bit more interesting XD.

Here’s my food collage:

And a bit of progress!  MAN that programmer art is looking nice…

Look out for the advancing wall of… doom?

Breakfast, hurrah, including all the essential nutrients that every Ludum Dare participant needs. Orange juice, pancakes with berries, and of course, an ample supply of syrup on those bad boys.

And of course, we can’t forget this masterpiece:

Back to work, I suppose. LET’S GO LUDUM DARE!

here I go, breakfast and the title screen of my first game ever! As I was doing that I remembered reading that it’s best to start a game in the middle, with the gameplay, then do the end and the beginning afterward…it’s funny how intentions don’t always translate into actions. Anyway, I have a pretty solid idea of what I want to do, the only thing now is to do it.

Well, I have my idea, just gotta do it! Yummy lunch:

Well, it wasn’t awesome, but it was okay. More later!

Didn’t take a pic of meal a few hours ago.. but here’s one from evening meal:

Morning coffee leftovers (with fresh milk) heated in microwave.. again a Karelian pie, this time with some tasty meat aspic on top. The tomatoes are there just to fool you again.

(This post manages to combine a progress report, AND a food update, in one.  How great is that?)

I’ve finally got round to writing some code.  Most of the morning I’d been waiting for inspiration, with little success.

So I decided to eat.  Again.

Then I had an idea.  After grabbing the camera and fiddling around in photoshop, I came up with…

Trust me, it will make sense later.

Ah, noodles with stuff:

Still waiting for a geistesblitz though.

Here’s my LD48#14 starter breakfast…

Some delicious coffee (french roast) and two Karelian pies (Finnish specialty) with salty raw spiced salmon (also Finnish specialty). With some biscuits from the bag on the right which are baked with oil and don’t contain any trans fats. I didn’t eat any of the small tomatoes, at least for now. I just put them in the pic to fool you.

A delicious (?!) meal of pig entrails and seaweed.  This was NOT part of my gameplan but I guess the wife has her own plan to sabatage me with inedible food… !!

Man, it’s too early for this. Morning apple pastries, with apple juice for fuel. Apparently I’m going for the GBGames style of LD nourishment this time around.

Did some concept art last night, which I really don’t remember — things got a little bleary around 5am. Still no good ideas, so I guess I’ll just go with a dumb one. Hey, you work with what you got.

mmmmmmm oaty clumpsters

Realizing my breakfast is more delicious than it is interesting, I’ve gone ahead and given it the Andy Warhol treatment. Now it looks like fishtank scenery.
