I'm in; first game jam for me 0

I’m in!

Hi everyone. This is going to be my first game jam. I’m pretty new to making games. I started a programming degree a few years back but had to drop out due to ill health. I’ve recently got back into programming and I’m having a great time slowly learning to use Unity and Blender to make simple games.

I’m really excited to join you all for the jam in a couple of weeks. I’m certain my game is going to be very basic and probably quite rubbish, but it’ll be a great learning experience and a small step on the path to making something cool!

I’m not sure if I am going to be solo or in a small team this time; I have a couple of friends that are interested but it may be slightly too short notice. Either way, should be good fun.

Catch you all in a couple of weeks!

Last Alakajam I worked off an idea that very quickly scaled out of control and despite a release, was unfinished. Nonetheless I was happy either way and I'm super hyped to go again on something completely new.

I'm a solo programmer who may or may not enlist the help of their sister for music whilst I handle art and logic.

Tools of choice:

  1. Unity
  2. Visual Studio
  3. FruityLoops
  4. Paint.Net/Krita

Hello all,
second time Alakajamin'. I will not be ready and I'll start a little bit late on friday but it will be my first solo experience.
I'll be using the classic tools
Unity (Because it's the only one I know a bit)
Paint.net (because I'm in love with paint)
Visual Studio community (because Unity comes with it)

I'm usually the artist (2d artist/DA) so it will be a big challenge for me but I think it's what jams is all about.
See you on the flippity!

I am In(for the compo)! :D 0

This will be my 8th 48 hour game jam. I've entered every Ludum Dare since 35 and the first Alakajam.

What I'm using:

  • Python with Pygame as the graphics library(so no game engine)
  • MS Paint/Px Editor(my own pixel art animation tool)
  • Bosca Ceoil
  • SFXR

My last Alakajam entry(Alchemic Archer):

While I think I did pretty well on the art for this game, but there were a ton of design issues that needed fixing.

My last Ludum Dare entry(The Crushed Sky):

This game did very well in graphics and mood, but once again the game was mostly just good looking. Although, that was what I was aiming for…

I'm hoping to make a game that is fun this time instead of a game with a good aesthetic like my previois two game jam games. I'm gonna aim for the top 10% in at least one category. ^-^

I was supposed to be practicing my skills in making music, but recently I've just been having fun with pixel art. >.>
This is something I'm working on right now:

Anyway, good luck and have fun!
