It's Over! 0

Here's my entry: https://alakajam.com/1st-alakajam/94/god-save-the-queen/

Honestly this has been the most productive weekend + monday I've ever had. I'm super happy with what I got done, I'm super happy with what the game can still become and I'm looking forward to developing it further. (It's very unfinished as a game)

I've been wanting to join another game jam for a couple of years now, I joined this one because I saw it advertised on the Ludum Dare page when I went to see when the next LD was and this fell at comfortable time for me. I'd love to say I'll be back in February, I really hope I will be. I learnt a lot in such a small time today by deciding to use technologies I wasn't familiar with and I know there's so much more for me to learn still.

Thank you for hosting it, it's been great. I'll be sure to give some time these next two weeks to check out some of the other entries!

Good luck to those of you with ranked entries, and to everyone else I hope you had fun!

Glad I gave myself the 3 days instead of the two as it gives me plenty of time to finish adding the gameplay for my game, but here's a small update video of my progress. Good luck to everyone who entered the 2 day competition!

I know I said in my intro post that I was going to go with Love2D and Pyxel edit, but when I started drawing my scenes I felt 3D would work better and I haven't given Unity a fair chance since I installed it.

Meshes created with Wings3D, Artwork done in Paint.net (Some borrowed and being replaced)

Music by my wonderful sister but it's still a W.I.P and I expect it to change drastically by tomorrow.

Got my idea, now to sleep on it! 1

As much as I'd love to work through the night, some things are better slept on and approached with a fresh head. I spent the past few hours setting things up and coming up with my idea, I'm reasonably happy with the outline of it. I still have to piece together the interactions of gameplay but I'm confident I can solve that tomorrow.

For now, I'm off to bed but tomorrow shall be full of coding and arting!

I'm in 1

Hey, so it's been a while since I last tried to complete a jam, with LD36 being my last entry. I'm doing this one alone and I'll be using Love2D, Pyxel Edit and BFXR (If I get as far as sounds).

I've not competed in a jam alone before and I'll be entering the unranked category, I still don't expect to finish but I'm going to give it what I can and hope I can submit something before the end.

Good luck to everyone and I look forward to the judging.
