Very late, but here is my entry for Ludum Dare 31!

And the direct link.

There's a little surprise if you make it to the end.  I had very limited time and I know the physics are a little glitchy, but I hope you like it!

My project so far for Ludum Dare 30.  The theme is "Connected Worlds".  Para (the blue guy) is stuck in white space, and Lell (the pink gal) is stuck in black space.  They can both exist in gray space, and they must reunite to win the levels.

If you developed a game for Ludum Dare 29...

Let me know!  I would love to play and rate it!

My game, The Puddle, is located here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=34535

A stressful day, trying to fit in some development time during work, and I have to be at work in 5 hours, so I’m going to try to get some sleep.

But I finished my game for the Ludum Dare, 48-hour game making competition!  The theme was “Beneath the surface”.  You are a small girl that jumps in a puddle and gets trapped in an underwater world.

It might be a little buggy, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

?????? did you even playtest this or am I the only one not allowed back into the puddle when the enemies get to me.

[bluecirclegames]

That was my mistake haha. It should be fixed now.

I hit some hurdles today... I'm going to cut it pretty close.

[bluecirclegames]

It's still coming along.  Hopefully tomorrow I will have time to create the actual game part of it.  Most of the gameplay works correctly, but I need to add some actual content (level design, and some enemies).

There is a very basic version of the game available here.  There's really nothing to do yet, but you can get a feel for it.

[bluecirclegames]

Progress so far. :)

[bluecirclegames]

It's a girl!

[bluecirclegames]

Working on the actual protagonist now.

[bluecirclegames]

I'm probably going to bed to build a level editor before I go much further...

[bluecirclegames]

It took me twenty minutes to realize the reason I wasn't able to jump was because the velocity wasn't higher than the gravity. :)

[bluecirclegames]

Crap. It's already noon!

[bluecirclegames]

Introducing, the protagonist.

[bluecirclegames]

I'm spending WAY too much time on the title screen.

Indie or hobbyist, if you’re a game developer with a Tumblr blog dedicated to your process and progress, reblog this!

You will be added to The Game Developer Network.

You can read about the network here.

If you have a Twitter you’d like linked, please include that in your reblog!

You can also be added to the directory by messaging me.

** Remember: This is only for game developers.

Basically, my reason for creating this is so that gamedevs on Tumblr can find fellow gamedevs. It’s kind of like an easy to navigate directory to find and connect with people who are also working on games.

Don’t be scared to ask or reblog! This is for all game developers on Tumblr! Really. Don’t feel lame. Help me help you~
