#ResistJam 3rd to 11th March, 2017

Hi all,

there will be a #ResistJam game jam event running from March 3rd to March 11th 2017 here.
In our current time, this event is a small but important contribution to showing our colours about the various situations around the world today.

I’m in and planning to stream some of the work during that time, preferably at the weekends and in the evenings. Spent some time thinking about what I want to do as a game and think I have something to go on which also reflects my feelings about that situation. Details when development starts on the 3rd…

Regards.

The game page is up here with everything to it. The entry has been submitted to the LD site. Details on the game page.

Ganymede Dig - Title

*** Update 10th Dec 2016 ***
Theme for the event is ‘One Room’ and I’m currently working on a Unity-based WebGL 3D game to that principle. I hope to show something in the next stream and will be finishing Sunday evening to submit for the 48-hour compo.

It’s Ludum Dare time again!
Theme voting starts on the 4th, so we’ll be seeing soon what comes up this time. I’m currently planning to participate, but I will decide quite short-term before the event starts.
If I join, i’m planning to stream again too, at least during the weekend.

Greetings!

Gameboy Jam #5 hosted at itch.io, 1st to 10th October, 2016

Hello everyone,

*** UPDATE 23.11.2016 ***
The multi-platform update v1.1 (Win, Macos, Linux) is now live on the game page for free download. Please see the readme file in the ZIP for instructions on running the shell scripts to start the game if you are on Macos or Linux. Also, the readme details what is new, has changed or been enhanced in this version.

Prerequisites are: A recent Mono or .NET runtime and OpenAL. On Macos and Linux, the starter shell scripts will need executable rights to use, e.g. through “chmod +x *.sh” in the main folder where the scripts are. Remember to choose a compatible display resolution when running in fullscreen mode.

*** UPDATE ***
The GbJam5 ‘Assault On Metaluna 6’ game page has been updated with the Windows x86 download as well as the source code and assets for the game.
**************

I’ll be participating in the Gameboy Jam at itch.io starting this Saturday and going for 10 days.
You can find the game page here.

The game type to be developed and the technology to be used has been decided, more details on the game page linked above.

I plan to stream parts of the sessions at Twitch, but it will probably be shorter streams in the evenings only when I can work on this project.
I’m looking for an artist and musician/SFX person who wants to collaborate on this, I will be doing all the coding.
The source code and all assets will be available for free here as soon as possible after the Jam.

Stay tuned for updates here during the Jam.
Greetings.

Game Page Up for LD #35 Entry – Curse of the Piglet King

Hi all,

I’ve now put up the first pass game page of the Ludum Dare entry #35 game titled “Curse of the Piglet King”.
I enjoyed working with Unreal Engine 4 and doing my first humanoid animations for characters to put in the game, however, I did not get anywhere near as far as making it a playable game.

The UE4 project size stands at 750 MB currently, so I’m not putting that up all here due to disk space limitations on my hosted web server. I think it would be nice to show the UE4 source code and some assets made during the event so I will be making some screenshots and uploading this in the near future.

Cheers!

Preparations for the Ludum Dare #35 72h Game Jam Underway!

*** Update ***

Now that the event is over, there will be a page up here with the results of the game “Curse of the Piglet King” soon.
Again, the scope was too large for the time and the game didn’t get anywhere near finished in the 3 days, but working with Unreal Engine 4/C++ was great and I’m especially proud of the animations I made for the game.
I’ll be putting up all assets and sources asap although I can’t submit this to the Ludum Dare site since I feel it is not far enough along to provide any kind of playing experience.

*** —— ***

Hi all,
although the LD #35 72 hour Jam won’t be kicking off in Germany until 3 AM tomorrow, Saturday the 16th of April, 2016, I’m starting preparations for the event by producing signboards for my Twitch stream found here.
This time will be the first stream with a microphone but no camera, and I’m working off a Windows 10 Desktop PC or Mac Book Pro, depending on the stream stability.

The software stack for the event is planned based on:
Unreal Engine 4/C++ and Blueprints or Unity 3D/C# (This depends on a few details when I hear the chosen theme)
Art Rage/Photoshop/Piskel/Tiled for 2D Art
MODO/Blender/Maya/MudBox/LD3T/CrazyBump for 3D Art
Visual Studio 2015/XCode/MonoDevelop/Visual Studio Code for IDE
Git/SourceTree for version control software
Open Broadcaster for the Twitch stream at https://www.twitch.tv/hairein
Bfxr for the sound effects
Free music to be found online

Greetings and have fun all who will be there this weekend!
