			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I made this account so me and my friend(s) could maybe compete in next years Ludum Dare Jam, and I just read that there is a mini LD on the 17th. All I know how to do is make crappy games with Multimedia Fusion 2, I was planning on learning more/switching to Python+PyGame by the time of LD next year.</p>
<p>So should we try to make a game for the Mini LD?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello folks, I will be participating in this MiniLD! But since making dialogue in Game Maker is kind of tough, I&#8217;ll probably just have a story in my game, The Struggle for Humanity. In this game that I&#8217;m working on with qwezc, you are of an ancient alien race that has to introduce new technology and ideas to the early humans. I&#8217;ve never really done something like this before, so I&#8217;m excited to see how this turns out!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an early screenshot:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is what I managed to do last night. Its amazing what mistakes a sleep deprived brain can make. I had a lot of issues baking AO maps because I had one silly button selected the whole time, which was the first thing I saw when I woke up this morning. Oh well.</p>
<p>But here is Discovery so far:</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-34918" href="http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2010/12/18/progress-of-a-sort-%e2%80%93-adedge-%e2%80%93-23hremaining_ld19/shuttle/"><a rel="attachment wp-att-34918" href="http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2010/12/18/progress-of-a-sort-%e2%80%93-adedge-%e2%80%93-23hremaining_ld19/shuttle/"><img class="size-large wp-image-34918 alignnone" src="http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Shuttle-550x332.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="332" /></a><br />
</a></p>
<p>Far from finished.</p>
<p>-I dont like the ET texture much atm,</p>
<p>-The shuttle doesnt have markings yet, only an AO map</p>
<p>-I dont have much time to work on it anymore</p>
<p>-Need to get into some python to making it fly and get some environments done today! (But I have so many other things to do today as well&#8230; Gonna be a late night)</p>
<p>-ADEdge</p>

This is (was) my entry to LD #08 48hr challange. I wanted to post it  earlier but constraints of time and space delayed it. I wanted to  update it a bit but I am posting it &#8216;as is&#8217; back then. It was done  during the contest.<br />
I am glad that I took part in this contest and very glad to the  experience I achieved thru it. I also liked it a lot to interact with  all the contestants during the actual time and how things worked out.  There was no intention to score but the only task was to be able to  complete it in that duration which I did. Since it was one of my firsts  I simply could not stand the stress after the compo though! I had a lot  of headache&#8217;s hehe. But since then I became more strong physically.  Later I did a lot of such &#8220;night stands&#8221; dusk to dawn to noon for other  tasks in life.</p>

<p><strong><em>Playing</em><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong> 1 Goto the Rolling pillar to to Improve Health but be carefull, the pillar will<br />
throw you away if you go too close to it.Just stay close to it to improve health<br />
and dont stick to it</strong></p>
<p><strong>2 Goto the Exit Post to goto the next Level. Exit Posts change their<br />
position every time level changes so you have to find its location.</strong></p>
<p><strong>3 When Level changes,Position of player changes</strong></p>
<p><strong>4 Stay away from swarns they eat you like crazy. </strong></p>
<p><strong>5 Dont foget to look around for the new position of exit post</strong></p>
