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)

Diodontidae – postmortem

I believe a better name than post mortem would be lessons learned, so let’s see my lessons learned from the competition. I would love to read this before the compo, as I…

PET THAT KITTEN! Postmortem

Introduction

Postmortem…

Outline of 48hrs as I recall it…

Wallcraft Postmortem

This is my first LD so I don’t have anything to compare to, but I actually think overall I did pretty well. I’m not sure I can say what I did write and what I did wrong,…

Postmortem: Flood of Air

Background and Pre-Compo

DoomDrive Postmortem

Since I want to learn to write good blog posts, I would appreciate any feedback about which parts of the following post you found interesting. I tried to make it not…

superflat’s Balls Of Legend: Postmortem

The other last foodphoto, and post-mortem

Dinner last night was Chinese.

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.

MonoClimb

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,…

Digital Road Jam – Post Mortem

12th in Overall and 5th in Innovation. Not to bad for a bugged game I guess. It sucks bigtime that I bugged mission 5, which means nobody got to play the “speed” mission.

Exproad, Improad, Reroad! Post Post Mortem

Wow, I’ve got the best food, and the second best journal.

Lost Roads Post Mortem

I know that it is late for such a thing, but I still will give it a try.

Post Mortem + Control Improving Update

Right, now that I’ve taken steps to correct the control irritations in Only Forward (see below for the updated version) this seems like a good time to write up a…

Everything rated / Postmortem

I have finally rated everything that I can possibly run (on Mac OS X or with Boot Camp in Windows), and phew that was a challenge. Now I see why we have 2 weeks to vote. :)

Collisions

I need help with collision code. I want to keep the player from falling through floors, pretty much. Help?
