I’m here with the fourth dev video preview from the Courier of the Crypts but that’s not all. I’m out of the October Challenge, time run out and I still have lots of things to do. But OC is not just about the October but about finishing a game and earning a single buck from the stuff we love to do – making games. It’s all about to see what is it like to have final polished product out in the world. It’s not the end for me here, I’ll finish Courier of the Crypts, October Challenge game all the motivation I need so it’s still WIN situation.

Now, enough malarkey and let me show you the preview that is featuring 2 types of monsters, GUI (wip), and Flame’o'metter (look at the gui). I hope you like it

Congratiulations to those who succeeded! Others that are like me, don’t give up folks

It’s not been easy, but the CW:P is out

Check out the game site for more info, try the game at Kongregate. It is made in Flash, so I’ve been able (after a bit of struggling) to roll out desktop installers for Windows, Linux and MacOS.

No sales so far, but it’s my first finished and commercially released game – a little personal dream becoming reality. Many thanks to my sweetheart for support and all the inspirative folks here, at TIGS forums and Flixel forums.

Good luck to all other fellow October Challengers!

A few notes on Adobe AIR
It has been my first desktop app made in Flash, a lot of new things for me:
1) Flash does not allow key controls in fullscreen mode, only AIR in desktop mode does
2) to create a native desktop installer, you have to build it using an AIR SDK on a target platform (luckily I have access to all three major platform systems) – to make a Win installer, you need to build it using a Windows SDK on Windows, etc.

As promised, a gameplay video from one of the levels:

I’ve doodled some simple illustrations for a Clone Wolf intro this morning, so here is a short animation introducing a story:

I’ve captured a few gameplay videos, I’ll post them later this weekend.

It’s time to introduce you with the new toy that courier will have fun with in the crypts. The one and the only….”Burning Urn”!  <tan-tan-tan-tan-stshhh>

On your quest trough the crypts, you’ll find urns filled with oil. You can light them up and throw them trough the hallways. You can use it to scare lurking danger away or even burn it to ashes. Should you be scared of the darkness in the next room, throw one of these inside and you’ll know what’s there waiting for you.

“Burning Urn” spam is a bit of exaggeration, I know but it won’t be possible to throw those so quickly one after another…it won’t be wise anyway.

Courrier of the Crypts got it’s own very first video preview to show first stages in action. Since the last post here, I’ve made a map editor and gamecore mechanics (loading maps, moving, collision).

For some times I was having problems how to implement lighting into the 2D game and with the last project I’ve made something quite nasty just to get glimpse of light. Today, my brother called me and offered a simple solution to me still using sprites as a “light”. It works just perfectly for me and I’m thankful for that!

Hi all,

I1′ve been reading a lot of Batman comics lately and today I had a little time , so I decided to change some sprites and sounds in my LD21 entry: Carol and The Haunted Castle to make it look like a Batman game… this is what I did, hope you like it… you have to save Robin who has been kidnapped by The Joker and… you know the rest.

The game isn’t finished yet and the Batman sprites were made by Pegalulu

Best regards

I’ve gotten a little addicted to my own game, but much to my frustration I’m not the one with the high score. Since I’ve been playing it between ratings I decided to upload a short gameplay video.

The goal in this game mode is to get as far away from the central star as possible. There’s also a story mode which has puzzle elements to it. I might upload a play through one of these days.

In case anybody wants to try beating my score even more, it’s worth nothing that only the web version submits to the leader board(and only after adding a name).

As most people say they find my game too complex decided to make a little video of my passing it and give few advices.

Here is the video:

And some advices:

• Use space to pause the game and issue many commands at once
• Remember about center of mass when you try to push
• Relaxed parts absorb shocks, stiff ones bounce, so its a good idea to be relaxed when you don’t want to bounce, or stiff all parts when you want to push with maximal force
• And it is space, if you are flying in right direction just relax and wait, no need to go crazy and ruin your right direction

Hope this will help some.

EscApe was my first entry to Ludum Dare and I did it mainly to learn stuff. I’ve had a lot of programming experience before, but I’ve never done any graphical games. Although I use C++, Python, PHP in everyday manner (work stuff), I decided to go with FlashPunk, having no knowledge at all about either the framework or the ActionScript 3 (besides that they exist) – but being familiar with object-oriented programming, this issue itself didn’t turn out to be that much of a problem.

I’m quite happy with my creation. I’m unhappy with the code, but I decided on developing speed, not beauty. As this is my first game, and done in only 48 hours, it feels just O.K. in my opinion (that is, I could do better, but it’s not awful).

See below for idea explanation, “what went right & wrong” and playthrough video.

have fun helping the yellow kitten.

I’ve made a bit more progress:  I can shoot now!  And the shots will collide with things and react accordingly!  Now to add some things for them to collide with, eh?

LD #20 Demo2

Sorry, I can’t capture audio with what I’ve got right now… but you’re not missing much:

LD #20 Demo1

As you can see, I’ve got movement, scrolling, and collision pretty well covered… still need enemies, combat, status screen, NPCs, bonus items… oh, and the in-between scenes need more coding (the hard-coded levels)

Hi.

I’ve created subj so if you still haven’t played these games you can watch videos and decide. Or send link to your friend. Here.

So I have painstakingly assembled a timelapse for my game. I didn’t have any video editing tools besides Chronolapse and Camtasia, so it was kind of annoying, but I’m happy with the result.

Click here to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeFOvKJqIDQ

Update! Better version of the timelapse:

I have uploaded to youtube a gameplay video, you could take a look at it if you have not tried the game yet .

Dunno how much I will able to do before time expires… 2hs left, and I am a little bored/tired. I will take a bath and see if I can do anything more, else I will upload the entry.

Good luck to all
