Ninja Rope physics finally completed
Here’s my current alpha:
progress

aaaalmost done
just have to fix a few nasty bugs that suddenly appearedgrrrr
I am an island
Spent most of the day today at the Berkeley Kite Festival, which was fun (and a great day for it), but wasn’t conducive to getting the game done. However, it’s…
Robot Kill Spiders
First post for my first ludum dare. Lucky enough to have this one to warm me up for the full thing at the end of the month.
hmm
no pictures to show yet (mainly because i’m doing my stuff on an internetless laptop); but i’m getting something done anyway:)hopefully will be less than three weeks…
King of the sandbox
Title for my miniLD11 entry. I decided to take make a sandbox type game of an actual sandbox. After the first day, I haven’t put much work into it, but I have a sandbox…
A map
Well, I’ve got some kind of iso map goodness going on. what’s next? critters I guess..
Super Action Ninja Agents
Well, I think I’m gonna be taking part in this LD. I’m going to be using Flex with the flixel framework (http://flixel.org/forums/index.php?topic=6). I’ve only worked…
First ever LD, first ever game, running behind, omfg, etc
So I have this great idea for a game for the theme. I had a pretty good idea the last few days, but I hit a major snag and… yeah. But it’s okay! Because I’m working on…
March of the Zombies
A zombie game. You are supposed to stay alive from the zombie attack while picking up survivors. You have a pistol, but ammo is scarce.
March of the Zombies: part two
Work has been going along just fine. I wish I made more journal posts… Oh well.
Queens
Making decent progress on the mini-LD. I asked the actors to pose for a quick photo:
Plain Savior: The Basics
As probably a good portion of LDers were contemplating, what to do about the theme? I decided to go with a mixup of being the domestic abuser and saving others.. but the…
Run (final, I hope)
Download (10MB)
Ondrian Fordrian Moves
Well I spent a couple more hours and got the basic functionality in. It’s actually pretty fun. And the artwork is beautiful of course, because it’s Kandinsky!
Turbulent Lake
Woohoo, MiniLD. Not only is this an awesome if somewhat self-referential theme, it’s looking like I might finish an entry - something which I haven’t done in a while.…
Ondrian Fordrian Speaks
There is now a doodad, and the doodad moves forward. You can see it moving forward in the screenshot below. As you can see, the game is already looking completely beautiful!
Ondrian Fordrian?
Well, after a couple of hours playing old LD games (which tend to be amazingly good, btw), here’s my screwball idea.
TurnStyle (Spawn of Cryptid Puzzle Challenge) Released
Well after an incredible amount of work I have finally released my first Flash / ActionScript 2.0 game! You can play it here if you’d like. I hope it is cool to post…
Cryptidia creations
here’s some screenshots of some fun creatures I created using hamburger’s Cryptidia entry:
Growing cells
I’m really not in control of the design process here. I’m making up restriction as I go along, constantly changing directions. The good thing is however that as I add…
Old Monochrome
Well.. my working title is evolving a little from “Monochrome Train”. Anyway, here is the update:
starting out
justnoticed the compo an hour a go. Will do something quick and experimental for tomorrow :)
There is a hero on the train
If you look closely.. you see the hero of the monochrome train!
New tech demo of Monochrome Train
I just finished implementing parallax scrolling background objects for my game. There is currently a nice cloud layer, a far plateau layer, and a near plateau layer all…
Little Tech Test of Monochrome Trains
Well, things are getting off to a slow start this morning as I have been dealing / fighting with 20%+ packet loss on my cable modem…. sigh Anyway– after a few hours it…
Infection Fighter – Demo/Code
I thought I’d post the game in it’s current state as I’m heading for more sleep – I’ve updated the physics a bit and tweaked the game logic, but I have to make it…
Infection Fighter – back to work
I got back to work about two hours ago (although I did stay up for an extra hour or two last night after saying I would sleep), and the game is coming along quite well.
Balloon Game!
It’s amazing! It’s wonderful! It has potatoes.
Zombiis
Almost final version of my monochromatic Zombii (NOT zombie) game. It’s a classic top-down shooter in which you have one goal: kill all zombiis. Enjoy.
Edit Mode
I finally got around to create a primitive edit mode. So now I can start building the level.
It Goes Tap-Tap-Tap
OK, time for a journal entry for this fine mini ld.
Growth – tech test
I wasn’t going to start until tomorrow but I had nothing to do so I decided to implement a small tech test to see if what I wanted to do was at all doable in Flash.…
Monochrome Train chugging along
I’ve been laying down the code since my last post and I already have a screenshot to post. Basically the traincars currently come flying out of the left and head to the…
MiniLD #6 – Monochrome Train
I have picked ‘Trains’ as my secondary theme for this Mini LD #6. “Monochrome” is the primary required theme of the contest. Instead of making a full game for this…
Infection Fighter – Last update today
This is the state I’m leaving “infection fighter” in before getting some sleep (it’s 3 am here) – the basic code is done and thoroughly bug-checked, and it’s currently…
Infection Fighter – progress so far
Right, so I’ve got my first few sprites done (two dangerous bugs, and the medicine that is going to be your weapon against them). I know technically this is more like…
MiniLD #6 – My first challenge
I’ve decided to have a go at the MiniLD – this will be my first 48hour challenge, so my main aim is simply to have a working game at the end of it, and I’m not aiming too high.
So tired… must sleep…
But Balloon Game will be amazing, you’ll see.
Mini-LD #6 – Balloon!
I have chosen the theme Balloon!. I think my color is going to be yellow. I’m itching to start coding even though I’m not supposed to yet. Normally I use C++ and SDL,…
Collisions
I need help with collision code. I want to keep the player from falling through floors, pretty much. Help?
Micro Racers - First screens
Well, my game is approaching what might be called completion. The only thing left for it to be playable are sound effects/music. To be totally honest, I didn’t start…
Still working on my game
I’m still working on my game, but in the meantime here’s my level, which I have finished.
Everything but the gameplay
I’ve randomly titled my entry PaintWorld! So far everything but the gameplay works.
Bleh, but yet yay.
Bleh, homework, yet yay, other things coming up to compensate for my lack of a finished Mini-LD #3 entry. Look forward to…
ChipmunkLand died
I gave up on making it load files, and in the first place it was never much of a tool. So, yeah. I gave up. Maybe I’ll release my modifications to the Chipmunk Demos, or something.
