Logicalhippo's Ludum Dare log
Well, my game wasn't entirely a success... I really like the general concept but I wish I had more time to do some more levels. It's got potential, and I think I will create a more complete version some time in the future. for now, you can look at the fun times I had making it

BLOG
11:57 Started the blog... a little late perhaps. Did 2 hours of work last night, mostly on design and sprites before going to bed for 8 hours. So far all I have is a little bit of code, a concept, and one set of sprites.
13:37 bleh... spent an hour modelling only to quit without saving.. other than that I have basic rendering up.
15:18 made a quick little techno song, working on map loading... not too far off. :-D
18:00 got the map loader operational and the walking around to work. now gunna draw more sprites
20:30 Screens!
26:30 1 More Screen! got really basic ai going, now working on collsion/shootage
28:50 1 More Screen! got really basic collision/detection going, working on more advanced collision/detecting, and shootage a little later
30:20 No more screens, but I got the enemies to track you for a bit if they catch you
31:50 a screen... got player shooting working... I'd say it's gunna be a good 3 hours until last minute debugging/finishing touches phase.
36:25 just woke up a half hour ago, already have the enemies shooting! I should really lock it at a constant fps :-P
37:00 ok! I'm finally getting into a roll. Locked the fps and made the birds collide with eachother
38:15 there goes my roll... ran into a nasty glitch with collision detection... now fixed
38:40 back on my roll apparently! Got another screen with AI allies, now working on player switching
39:30 got player switching to work fine. Had lunch. I'm hopeful I'll have something to show by the end of the compo
39:45 got the enemies to switch into blobs when you hit them... now I'm working on level design
41:45 got sdl_ttl up and basic GUI
BLOBS UNITE!!!!
Birds are no longer spectral entities
Things aren't looking too good for dr. bob
Dr.Bob pulls a sneaky surprise attack at the start of the round
