- I've opted out of the *sound* category (the track is created by me but not during the jam)
- Dev Day 1: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/bugs-vs-bugs/the-theme-sucked-until-it-didnt-day1
- Dev Day 2: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/bugs-vs-bugs/$391534
- This game was made in 2 days... I was unable to add even some of basic things I wanted.. let alone test the emergent gameplay; every minute there is progression and "new waves" of bugs ;; would you like a PostJam?
- Compo is brutal! My first one : )) To both program and draw and devise meaningful gameplay is too much to take at once (hence the no audio part)
The usual suspects: Phaser3 (latest currently - 3.80) + TypeScript + obs-disp (my event-driven arch layer for rapid dev) + Webpack (bundling) + VSCode (coding): note the source code is on top of my not-so-cleaned-up template, mainly in the src/LD55 folder
Paint.NET, Sketchbook (phone), Walkband (phone),
2024.04.28: PostCompo (Jam) Update - *The Experience*
- I've listened to all valuable feedback and have updated the game to feel much better : ))) and diverse:
- add HP bars on bugs
- refine the way bug hitting works / more natural experience - bugs can hit only the target they are currently following (1)
- refine (a few) graphics
- a multitude of bugs (no pun intended haha) fixed XD
- 3 new actions!: fast-forward, HP increment, Shockwave
- use keyboard keys now for more things: 1, 2, 3 (activate corresponding action), ESC to cancel given action, Q and E to to decrease/increase slider
- big bad bug in later waves
- minor visual enhancements here and there : ))
- performance is now a bit more optimal (with more bugs)
- Firefox also should work now (but Chrome is fully tested)
- still no sound : )) , focused on gameplay
- Enjoy!
2024.04.17: Bug fixes - infinite spawning, negative HP
2024.04.14: Compo release (then reanimation time for me)
