Flashlight fun.
Making some progress. I'm going to need to decide how my background will work, my placeholder image sucks.

A playable Game!
Gone from idea to first prototype to playable game pretty quickly.
Things not going too well
I coded a lot more, but things are kind of crappy... with some luck I'll manage to turn it into a game... here's a shot 02somestuff.jpg. Now I really need some food.
Now, at last, it looks kind of decent :)
Aye, read the title, or watch this screenie: 03stablelight.jpg. Lighting system is kind of ready. It's not perfect, but it's kind of cool anyway. Now I can start working…
Night
Time for some sleep now (00:05 local time now, and haven't slept for 17h, which isn't that long a time, but I was pretty tired to begin with)... not much of a game yet,…
Morning
I'm awake :) Time to get busy again, and now with a less tired brain.
Status update
I've added some particle effects. Maybe I should have added some gameplay. I'll have to add that now. Here's a screenie, the thing to left is an explosion that's just started.
HUD
I've fixed a HUD, look.
My Progress
visit My Journal Page if you care to see my progress/shots/etc.
Playable!(ish)
Clicky
Hmmmm
Looks like I have a lot of optimising to do to fix that frame rate although this is still the stress test.
Hi ho, hi ho.
A fruitful mornings work grappling with openGL shadows and tying it in with ODE. I can now stack boxes and cast shadows with them. My next task : How on earth do I get a…
Stone the crows! Lots of Delphi and DelphiX people!
Hello. Can I have a quick count by leaving a comment have many Delphi people there are? I'm using Delphi, glScene and ODE.
Well, that's "darkness" done...
Well, that's "darkness" done...
Having a lot of trouble
.. trying to think of a decent game for the theme. Got an idea almost straight away, but it's not very good and I can't get it out of my head. I guess I'll just keep…
Making progress anyway
This screenshot shows the tiled map with lighting (the yellow boxes are light sources).
And now we have a player...
Yes, this entry really is about as predictable and non-innovative as you can get :(
My idea
OK, so I've got this idea for a game, and it's probably lame, but here goes...
More progress
Now I've got ghosts (when they're not lit, you can just see their eyes ;) and you can repair damaged lights. The "Repairing..." window obscures the view of the player…
Ghosts now zap lights and roam around
I've got the basic Ghost AI going now - they avoid being in light, and hunt and destroy lights. The sequence below illustrates:
Well, its a "game" now
I've officially written a complete game now (you compete against the computer, and it detects whether you win or lose). So far the out-of-game interaction is just:
Pictures \o/
Desk
Let there be Light (and Darkness too)
W00t! I'm happy this theme was finally chosen!
Slow start
Things are starting slowly. This the part I don't like about the ld48 when I'm recoding stuff I have coded before when it would be so easy to reuse old code. I'm going…
I've made progress!
And what progress it is. I've nearly finished my game, which you can preview here. Comments/suggestions/bug reports are welcome!
Light rendering.
I've got most of my basic light rendering sorted out, now I have to build my game around it.
An idea
So, I've got an idea: You play as a light entity, and your mission is to light up the whole level. You've got four things helping you: you can place stationary lights…
At least there's something on screen
Here's a very early shot of the tile system, not even all basic stuff in yet, 01basictile.jpg.
Started
I'm making a treasure hunting game. Sort of based on Pacman.
I've found my focus :)
I thought gothic. I thought star wars. I thought magic. I thought epic RPG. Then I thought that's a lot of work and I'm a lazy ass.
Contemplation occurs!
I will likely soon regret not brushing up on my C++ skills before this compo... or getting familiar with Pygame. Gah! I hope I can come up with a game idea that fits the…
Registered!
I hated having a blank page, so I tossed this up.
Frist LD48
This is my first LD48 but not my first compo. It is the longest I've done though so time management might be a bit more important here.
Hello Hello!
It's almost time for the new compo! w00t w00t!
PyOpenGL and py2exe?
I think I'll try a PyOpenGL entry this time, if the theme permits (possibly using OpenGLContext, though I've not used it before). Given that my 2d drawing skillz suck,…
Twelve days to go
Twelve days to go. Can't wait.
Psyced
I'm getting psyced. I'm trying to pump out one mini game a week to get practice. I have half the pygame library memorized by now, and can throw together just about…
I have now registered.
And, frankly... I feel pretty gosh-darn special.
Tanks! Post Mortem
Seeing how everyone was posting one of these, I'll go with the flow.
Blight Warrior Post Mortem
Ludum Dare 5th 48 hour Game Development Competition
Postmortem
Postmortem: DiceMan in The DiceMan Cometh
Postmortem: Super Space Blaster
Of the game itself: I was lazy and made the first thing that came to mind and only put a minimal effort into making it really exciting. Given that it was what I had…
Ducks, post-mortem
Overall, this competition went much better than last time. I credit a better understanding of what's possible in 48 hours, and a slightly lower expectation in the…
Eaters Of Coins: Postmortem
I put roughly 22 hours of work into the game. It is kind of primitive, but I am happy with it and what I accomplished over the weekend. I entered the contest entirely…
Postmortem: Zombie Slaughter
After spending about 35 hours on the game this weekend I must say, that i'm pretty much satisfied with what I got, but some things didn't work out that good as others,…
DRUID Postmortem
Firstly, because I haven't attached any kind of readme to the game, I think I have to explain some basic concepts of the game for it to be playable at all:
Postmortem: Buttonlands
I had a really good time this time around. I think my game turned out pretty well.
Meaning and Non-Meaning in Trouble Shooter
When the final history of the twenty-first century is written, it is likely that Trouble Shooter will be recognized as one of this decade's seminal intellectual and…
