Speaking of records, here are links to the 18 time-lapse videos from 17 entrants in Ludum Dare 14.

The majority of the videos can be found on YouTube. In addition, Hamumu produced two episodes of his internet video show Behind the Dumb from footage taken during the compo. Now that’s hardcore.

Hamumu: Behind the Dumb EP6 and EP7

Behind The Dumb Episode 7 is available now!  Thanks to the handy extended voting, it is available before voting is over!  Of course, again, I filmed it all during the 48 hours, but didn’t edit and release it anywhere close to that time, so probably not valid for voting.  But I hope you enjoy seeing what kind of sandwich I ate, in one of the most epic cliffhangers since Sylvester Stallone’s Cliffhanger.

Behind The Dumb Episode 6 is out at last!  It’s the first half of my timelapse and journal for LD14!  Check it out.  You don’t need to rate it, because while I did FILM it all during the weekend, I certainly didn’t have it all edited and ready by then.  And the second half won’t be out until voting is over anyway.  Still, it should be amusing to some.

Here is my time lapse video, the first version had better audio synchronization, but then VirtualDub crashed and I had to start all over again.

I recorded a timelapse of my game which Fiona uploaded to youtube for me - hurray!

The analog clock in the corner looks awesome

Hmm I didn’t know how to get the video to be embedded in the page - is there some trick to it?

I can’t believe how long it took me to reboot to get rid of that Windows Update dialog, hahaha.

Next compo I’ll get the webcam going, too… much more interesting when you can see the person I think.

Assembled out of more than 10k JPEGs, totalling almost 2GB O_O.

Here’s my timelapse for LD14:

I used Chronolapse, which is a great tool and is very easy to use.

Here’s the timelapse video for Crush

Youtube is kinda being strange with it, but here it is anyway

Time for timelapse http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLFC40lIRA4&fmt=22

and some statistics. This graph shows the frequency of programs I used during the compo:

Here is the timelapse for my game. It’s very short because I only spent about 8 hours developing.

On youtube!

Also, I changed the applet version to allow resetting the level with escape or backspace, but that is NOT the competition version of the game. A link to the competition version is provided on the website.
It’s a shame I forgot to add this during the competition, as it’s fairly easy to get stuck.. :-\

Here’s the timelapse for my entry… Text got cut off in someplaces because of the font I used… :\

Timelapse

Here’s the timelapse for my LD entry this time around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6TqFZE7Y14

The webcam flickers a bit due to issues with OpenCV but it’s mostly not noticable. It doesn’t include about the first two hours of drawing during which it didn’t work and I didn’t realise and it doesn’t include writing music/sound as I still haven’t been bothered to get it running in Windows yet. (I use Propellerhead’s Reason for audio)

EtherGrind Timelapse

Music is “Do You Know Squarepusher” by Squarepusher.
Annotations so you know what the heck is going on.

Heart and Hope! timelapse video (1′06”)

Not very exciting, but I did make two games during that time, so there’s that.

edit: Forgot to mention that I used keeyai’s handy Chronolapse.

Until the embed code works, here is a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmcCyGY5IGg

It’s not very exciting, so I made it short.

This is the final version of my game, ‘Defend your castle’ (I know, not the very best title in the world) against a lot of monsters, which represent the wall of doom. Well, can you manage to survive until the very last level? Use missiles to kill the monsters and walls to repel them. Or use the hammer guys (but those are expensive, at least at the beginning). Don’t forget to upgrade your units, and squeeze the money out of your civilians, providing you have some

Ten levels for you to play. I forgot to make an intro as well as to make credits.

*edit*I should have made at least one picture for explanations. Sorry. So:

Missiles are $100, Walls $500 and Soldiers $1000 (kinda hard to see)

You can raise the tax to get more money, but that cuts down your peoples growth.

You need a few people, should you really get to the last level, since money isn’t everything

The monsters will kill your population if they reach the castle

Soldiers only walk on their path

This game is mouse control only

BTW, the rainbulb can’t be beaten by soldiers or missiles, so you have to go with the last defense that you got; and there are monsters which will just walk over your barriers

Stupid by me: i should have limited the number of walls, since it’s O(n) in calculations

Have fun!

I wonder if I can make a game without copious amounts of blood this time…

I’ll be using your friendly neighbourhood Python with my own game lib that lives on top of Pygame.

Be using my pycatcher program for timelapsin’ again. Home grown yo.

I am looking forward to doing Ludumdare this weekend, and I’m intending to do a timelapse of my progress again. Is there any software or scripts that I can use on the Mac to capture two screens simultaneously, ideally stitched together as one long image?

HERE is a youtube link for my timelapse video (including a regular video at the end of it).  It’s 2:30 long!

This was pretty tricky to get converted into a video, but I think it was worth the effort. I hope you enjoy it! ^_^

LD48 #13 : pansapiens timelapse

+ cheezy music ….

Here’s the timelapse for Left4Bread.

Next time I will make webcam image bigger.

I’m hoping to optimise the library I used to write the game so it runs a bit faster, the main critisisms so far are the extremely slow speed the game runs at for most people and the “poor handling” of the car - But I think that last one can also be attributed to game slowdown.

Perhaps a postmortem will be written. Perhaps not.

- edit -

As promised I’ve updated the underlying library with a few rendering optimisations. The speed increases are almost double.

There’s no game logic at all in the library, but it’s up to you if you want to judge with or without the update.

Windows update

Source update
