DIV ARENA FORUMS

Ludum Dare 35 – April 15th-18th Weekend!

iWizard - 3-3-2016 at 10:49 AM

edit: I checked the site for some facts. To confuse you I've formatted new stuff bold and incorrect stuff red. No need to thank me. I've also registered on the site.

Yeah, it's coming again and it's quite exactly but not exactly exactly 6 (4) weeks away from this day. As long as the rules haven't changed awfully much, the point is to make a game over a weekend i.e. even employed people can join in! There will be a theme for the game but otherwise you're free to do your worst -- was there some sort of voting on theme also? There is!

The main competition is do-it-all-by-yourself in 48 hours and then there's a no prize beginner category where you can optionally gang up and have additional 24 hours to finish. I'm pretty sure the main prize is glory and then some sweets or something along those lines. FYI I'm thinking joining solo, so there will be more produce i.e. content.

So, anyone up for a fun weekend? I know many (some) of you have already participated in this thing at some point like any decent self respecting game developer should have, but I'm not like that, so I haven't. And obviously the point is to use the new DIV eventhough nobody has used it in around 10 years. Surely it'll all come back flooding when you'll just get on with it! Obviously you can use whatever you want but do use DIV. Or else.

I hear uncle Mike is joining in and Dave if he survives the heart balloon thing operation and the new op. Thumbs up for Dave!

I shall indeed be joining in this. Let's show them what we can do :)

iWizard - 16-3-2016 at 01:17 PM

I've updated the first post. It's now gloriously hard to read.

joebeard - 16-3-2016 at 04:05 PM

This site looks great, good job Mike! My only problem is that the font is magnificently difficult to read.

MikeDX - 16-3-2016 at 04:07 PM

Hey JB. Welcome back. What font would that be? I've gone through about 5 so far :)

joebeard - 16-3-2016 at 04:47 PM

Looks like Asimov-Regular, it might be that my PC doesn't support it correctly. Are you lot entering Ludum using DX then?

That is indeed the exact plan.

I'm actually a bit curious how have you come to know it so well??? This is suppose to be a top classified secret that nobody knows no nothing about, yet it's as if you yourself have masterminded it D:

MikeDX - 16-3-2016 at 06:44 PM

I shall be streaming my LD entry via my twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/themikedx/ and archving the creation process on YouTube for future generations to "enjoy"

MikeDX - 16-3-2016 at 09:33 PM

i wrote a piece about div and it has been posted on the http://ludumdare.com/compo/ page :)

MikeDX - 10-4-2016 at 01:15 PM

This is next weekend folks. Do we have some sort of plan? Are we all working seperately or doing some sort of team effort (or both?)

BreadCaster - 12-4-2016 at 01:34 AM

I can't, it won't work on this OS and I haven't got my other PC back yet :(

MikeDX - 12-4-2016 at 01:47 AM

Even beta 12?? We had a little more success with that one as long as you install the sdl libraries..

1 DAY 11 HOURS TILL IT BEGINS (Saturday 2AM GMT)

iWizard - 14-4-2016 at 01:53 PM

Time to do a supply run. And. Continue waiting.



ps. The one with the pink hair is you BreadCaster. I know you look like that when you're jackhammering an apple.

BreadCaster - 14-4-2016 at 02:13 PM

i've actually got long black hair these days but sure okay :p

MikeDX - 14-4-2016 at 02:30 PM

Which one is me? the one with the sword?

It's a wooden baseball bat!!! Or was it aluminium. The 1:1 hair and braking windows gives you away a bit easy. Altho, the window isn't too visible on this laptop's rubbish screen.

I'm not sure will username Raverdave approve of his depiction, but as he's taking naps all day long every day I'm probably going to get away with it.

I'm going to use that graphic in my stream as the background when i'm on a break

Am I the blondie on top, giving BreadCaster the finger?

BreadCaster - 14-4-2016 at 07:19 PM

I don't know why people think that I'm going to be helping on this given that I haven't even got a working build of DivDX or anything I could use that's even remotely similar to it at present :p

MikeDX - 14-4-2016 at 07:20 PM

Is dave the one painting with his own blood?

Yes, with the long flowing hair and waif like body. You were the first <3

You have to now, right?

:)

The explanation of a broken computer was better! There's also Htbaa with the camera, Square lurking (no girlfriend with a sausage pan behind him :love: ) and Zosma with the motorcycle - but they probably won't participate either. This time around. It's just an excercise in pixels.

Yeah, but you need new goggles mate! He's so obviously lionkinging his heart. Ripped out of his chest in a manly fashion.

MikeDX - 15-4-2016 at 08:14 PM

So who is the peeping tom with the camera hiding in the bushes?

Also deadmaster have you got a raspberry pi? You can run div on that

BreadCaster - 16-4-2016 at 03:42 AM

I have a macbook :P that is all.

though I do have a Virtual machine with WinXP running so I can program a bit in Bennu but I'm already up to my neck in other things this weekend erk

That might be your all time favourite lurker.
