Ludum Dare 39 and #CoronaDefoldJam this weekend

Monday score is 5:4 - https://itch.io/jam/coronadefoldjam/feed
And Coronians are winning!
We. Can. Do. Better! #shipit

Also one more games event has contributed tickets to participants. Guess in autumn we should talk to even more events.

And here’s a plot twist: https://itch.io/t/139779/gamedev-event-tickets-as-prizes-to-the-jammers

Are gamedev event tickets good as prizes for the jam?

(also looks like two Corona entires violate terms for the jam, so we’ll remove them later on)

I am thinking about a tiny idea for the #CoronaDefoldJam. Maybe I’ll join :wink:

And by the way: WE are #Defolders! We will win this! :slight_smile: *HOUAH!

Hopefully there will be another. I don’t have the skill to build something interesting quite that fast (I know, I’m a tortoise programmer). I could make something simply close to a game, but I want to hone my skill a gig (Hah) more to not make any false promises. Also, family is moving, so I’ve been quite busy. When I get something interesting I’ll start a devlog here on the forums.

So Defolders, I am on it (not joint official), but I am at the project called “Food Rescue”. I am on it since 2 days now.
I thinking about ending this at 72h (Ludum Dare Jam-Rule).

Screenshots? Sure:

Yay, nice going Stephen! Interesting start you’ve got. Could use some gameplay polish, but great work in short time :smiley:

Found a hack though – as soon as you tap left/right while going up- or downwards (or vice versa), the calorie meter stops counting.

Thanks @Axel :slight_smile:
Nice to hear you like it :slight_smile:

HACKER! :wink:
Found a glitch hm? Seems I have to optimize the input stuff.
Truely I have because if you change direction the animation stops. Never noticed the hack/bug you said.
“BUG-01 callories-hack” :slight_smile:

Thanks for reporting and recording!

You said polish. Any suggestions? :wink:

Gameplay-wise, it feels sort of “random” – maybe I don’t get the full concept, but I didn’t feel as if I had any real objective rather than randomly running around hoping you’ll find food. Also, the big guy in the top-right corner covered a big part of the screen. But like I said – nice going for such a short amount of time :slight_smile:

I really love random-stuff and games :slight_smile:
But I think I know what you mean.

The objective is to save all food as fast as possible! Food will become rotten. A timer is running. You get more points as faster as you are.

Game ends if you have found all foods or die in case of “fatness” or starving.

I am on a small menu and “score-screen” at the moment and a new map. Also new maptiles to have a little more variety.

Hoping to find food and searching it - thats the game :slight_smile:

I agree the guy top right is a little big too big :slight_smile: Its just to see how it is about your figure and see your “body-status”

The game you’ve seen is made in about 72h (spread over a week).

I am thinking about a random (procedual) level …
Idea: Using the tileset-editor to build some buildings as templates and store them via script in a table.
At game-start tilemap will be filled randomly with these template-buildings. Not sure. just an idea to have it more randomly and not going to be boring so fast

Had a few minutes today to work on and fixed your little hack :wink:
Also “Paul” right-top is a bit smaller now

oh no!
Corona 9 entries, defold just 6!

exactly!

Impossible!!! Developers tend to wait until the very last minute. I expect a hurricane of submissions when there is less than 24 hours left.

As I am new to GameJams I like to know if there is something I have to note about at the “end”.

  • I’ve joined
  • I’ve uploaded my Project
  • I’ve updating my Project

Is there anything else to know/make at the end of dev-time? Something to do?
What will happen? Will my Project be “locked” by itch.io until the voting is over?

May someone with more experience explain me the whole procedure?
