Ludum Dare #35 Compo starts 9:00 PM (EDT) on the 15th April, 2016!

Yup,
it’s a new upcoming round of compo fever again! You can get your votes in and follow the themes for the next Ludum Dare Compo here.

I’m planning to participate again this time and plan to stream on Twitch with a microphone this time too! Due to the time difference, I will be starting out on Saturday and probably have only 2 days to participate, but I wouldn’t miss it for the world!

Until then, keep an eye out for the themes, join in and make your voice heard…
Greetings!

Ludum Dare #34 Compo from the 11th to 14th December, 2015!

Hi all,

the Ludum Dare compo #34 was on during the 12th to 14th December, 2915 and I participated in the 48 hour part of the jam (compo).

As Marmalade Technologies were kind enough to provide me with a free Indie license during the last Mini Ludum Dare #63 event and for the next seven months, it was a great opportunity to explore this API even more.
It enables both 2D and 3D games and is easy to deploy for the Windows desktop, so it definately fit for the compo, however due to technical and temporal constraints, I chose a 2D path as you see here.

I streamed myparticipation at our Twitch page as always and I was glad to see a few people pop in and chat during this time, so thank you all for your time!

The game page for ‘Globular Infestation’ is now up here, along with a description of my intensions as well as download links for the free initial game (demo) and all resources.

As the game was not finished during the compo, you are getting a technological demonstration which gives a basic flow of the game with only two levels and no enemy attacks.
However, I will be continuing work on the game to complete the features I had in mind during the compo but did not get to finish, so that we can all get a rounded game out of this. I’m estimating about 6 months to complete the initial Windows (x86) version, but I would like to port a version to Android with a slightly changed control scheme.

Check back for more info as this develops…

GameKid Raspberry Jam Entry 09.2015 page available now!

Hello everyone,

as a result of the GameKid Raspberry Jam which ran at Itch.io from the 13th to 20th September 2015, we have setup a page for our entry “Van Sang’s Pain” here.
The game jam ran for 7 days and fit quite nice into a holiday period, so why not 😉

The game was developed on a Windows PC using Python & Pygame. GrafX2, Graphics Gale and Photoshop was used to create the 2D Art, as well as Visual Studio Code for the source code editing.
All art assets were created specifically for and during this jam event. Sounds and music were either downloaded from SoundBible.com or re-used from our earlier game ‘Tank Crush – Eviction’. Level creation was performed in Tiled.
Filezilla (SFTP) was used to transfer the files to the RetroPie installation on the Raspberry Pi 2.
The game is available free and comes with links to setup instructions.

Bye all!

Please note! This is the RetroPie download version, see below for the Windows version of the game.

*** UPDATE: 03.10.2015 – Updated game to v1.1. ***
*** UPDATE: 04.10.2015 – Updated game to v1.2. *** Fixed the sound effect playing lag.
*** UPDATE: 11.10.2015 – Windows-x64 version now available for download here. Unzip and use run.bat to start the game.

Ludum Dare 32 – An Unconventional Weapon, compo today and tomorrow

Hi all,

I’m currently participating in the 48-Hour Ludum Dare 32 game creation competition with the above named subject as the target.
Due to the short time and it being only 1 person working on the game, I will postpone making a game page and posting screenshots until after the event, but I plan to host the result here tomorrow evening.

It is being developed using Unity 5’s WebGL as the engine while assets are being created in Modo INDIE and Photoshop.

Okay, back to work now…

*** UPDATE *** – You can check out everything on the LD #32 page link shown above in the header. I’ve just submitted everything as required and plan to take the evening off to get some rest and see the other LD entries coming in.
