Ludum Dare 32

I just participated in my very first Game Jam! I decided to try and make a game with Unity this weekend for Ludum Dare 32 and I actually did it! I created a game within about 24 hours while a friend of mine worked on some of the artwork. It was a lot of fun and I'll gladly participate in future game jams now that I know I can make a game in such a short amount of time.

The game I made is called "I hate golf", the theme this Ludum Dare was 'Unconventional weapon'. The weapon you use in this game is the wind itself, and you use it not for the greater good but just to make sure someone doesn't win at their golf game. You basically have to try and keep the ball out of the hole using your wind powers.The game can be played here: http://gamejolt.com/games/arcade/i-hate-golf/61242/

Making such small games in a short time seems like a really good way to train my game design skills, so I'll defintely take any opportunity to participate in game jams. That's it for this update, I hope to bring you more soon.

A new look

It's been a while since I did a blogpost, but here it is.
My artist came through with some amazing concept art, here are some of the enemies he drew:

He also worked on a few tilesets and character models but right now we're really trying to find a fitting artstyle. With a few of those new sprites the game now looks like this:

It's already a major step up from what we had before, but this is just a start of course. But besides working on the game I halve also been making a new episode for my youtube series 'Game Plunge': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA35mbXENdc 

In this episode I analysed the design behind Half-Life 1. Right now I'm working on the second episode about Half-Life 2 which will be released in a few weeks I think.

As for 'Path of Vision', I will be working on it in the weekends as much as I can. But right now, I'm not making an awful lot of progress yet since I am working on several things at once. That's about it for this update, I hope to show you some cool new features in 'Path of Vision' the next blogpost.
