Cup of Coffee I consume during LD13=5 December, 6 LD13 started at 06:00 --------------------------------- 15:18 - 1 days 14 hours 38 minutes left I've less then 40 hours and all i have got is an idea! And making a post-apocaliptic rpg is not that easy :). Lets see what'll i do? --------------------------------- 15:56 - 1 days 14 hours 3 minutes left I just finished eating, as being fed i can finally start doing something. First, i'll finish design document :) --------------------------------- 18:03 - 1 days 11 hours 56 minutes left 12 hours passed since compo starts but finally i did something :). - design document nearly completed (%70 is completed perhaps, at least :)) - started to do some gfx, using GIMP i somehow manage to prepare menu background for 2 cities. - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/hive.png - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/shell.png Also, i put the trash outside, now i have 2 more house chores :9 - prepare the dinner - wash dirty clothes --------------------------------- 18:36 - 1 days 11 hours 23 minutes left Finally i'm going to publish my devlog :) All this time, i tried to solve the problems with my hosting and finally i accept failure and find a different way :/. (this way :)) I just wanted to let you show my process by uploading all the things i made into a directory, but i couldn't manage to make it visible thru a browser :(. ---------------------------------- 22:19 - 1 days 7 hours 40 minutes left Argh! I know i still have a full day but still i'm getting nervous as the time goes by and i still didn't start coding. But, i manage to do most of the graphics of the game (at least %60 is finished i guess). I think it's time to start coding. But first i have to wash my clothes (i'll just put them into the washing machine :)). - i couldn't improve design document much, a few ideas thats all (%75 finished) - done most of the gfx, but they all lousy and probably i miscalculated my gfx needs and will need more but anyways.. :) (%60 finished) - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/baskerville.png - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/ghosttown.png - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/hypermall.png - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/car.png - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/enemy.png - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/road.png - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/desert.png ---------------------------------- December, 7 Saga continues... ---------------------------------- 03:31 - 1 days 2 hours 28 minutes left There is 2 hours to end of the first day and i just started to code something. After the last entry, i did these: - Trim down the game. It was a hard week and i'm already very tired. So i'm focused on finishing a playable versiyon. I can improve the game later like 'Blackstar'. - Change the combat mode. It was part of the trimming. Free roam topdown car combat could be hard for me and i also wanted to use roads theme in the game actually. Now game's combat mode is like 'Road Fighter'. If i have time i'll add weapons, then it'll look like a shmup. So it is ok i guess. - After trimming, i had to change my graphics plans, so i made some new graphics and write down all i need in graphics. - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/worldmap.png - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/combatmap.png I hope i won't sleep too much :). ---------------------------------- 17:27 - 0 days 12 hours 32 minutes left In 12 hours compo will end and i'm expecting to finish in 10 hours. So i think i'm doing well... Lets see what did i do after last post? - Finish most of the graphics. %95 completed. Only some additional, added only if i have time features gfx is left. - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/menubg.png - Decided on game's name. It will be 'On The Road'. I was thinking on 'Wasted Roads' or 'On The Road Again' but finally decided on that. - Started to coding. Right now, i'm nearly completed game menus. I have an screen shot :). - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/ss1.png Thats all. I'm back to coding... ---------------------------------- 22:30 - 0 days 7 hours 28 minutes left I'm slowing advancing but i can't help but feel behind the schedule. - Menu's done - Player and Car classes are being coded - Text display is done, although i found that my old text display class is buggy but there is no time for that. I should fix it later. - Second Screenshot! - http://www.bitwise-studios.com/~ragnor/ld13/ss2.png I hope at my next entry i'll tell you that i completed some gameplay stuff :). ----------------------------------- 04:16 - 0 days 1 hours 43 minutes left Finally!!! It's finished! Ahh, that feels good :). I had to cut down a lot of features and gameplay really sucks right now, but the important thing is it is done. I'm submitting the game right now. But i'll work on it and make it good after the compo. ----------------------------------- Saga Ends.
