LD10.5 portem, LD11 bikingni

Hiya =] well I didn’t really post anything here for LD10.5 although I was working on something. The theme was kittensweird/unexpected/surprise, and for that I came up with a cat&mouse game where you would play as a kitty stalking mice using line of sight and keeping quiet. There would also be a movable cheese to bait the mouse. I set out to make the game in a side view with 3 axis of movement, which is far too many axii for a .5 compo =/ To save time I was drawing sprites by hand and taking photos of rooms to use as backgrounds, but putting 3 dimensional objects to do line of sight with was a daunting task, it would need a level editor and would be better presented in 3d at that point, too much for one weekend. Oh yeah, and I was fighting off the sickness. pwnd. Here’s as far as I got:

Also, I won’t be doing the LD11. I’m going to be racing my mountain bike on the cross country course at the sea otter classic in monterey, ca. My laptop bike mount is a little heavy for racing joo know?

About Polymerization..

So just to give a bit of background behind the chemistry of my game, here’s the page I used for research:

http://www.pslc.ws/mactest/radical.htm

Basically, the creation of the material we know as vinyl is done by a chain reaction of monomers into polymers (polymerization) initiated by a free radical initiator.

If you have shockwave then this short video (from the above page) will demonstrate the process effectively:

Edit: If the game gives an error message like “This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.”, you may need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package, which can be downloaded from:

Hmm the evening continues! Here’s the first screenshot from my LD10 entry:

hmm wonder what it is!

So far, Friday I worked until 5:30, there was a lame xmas picnic for lunch in which I ate mostly starch. Starch and cookie. My Maia picked me up and I had 1 hour to divert my eyes from 7 hours of videogame testing before 48 hours of videogame programming, the simple act of observing a lamp brings tears to my eyes.

I had a pre-dare snack involving a Tofurkey kielbasa, the best Saurkraut in the universe, and etc. As I delved into the reactorium on #ludumdare, mama maia was making me-a stuffed vegetables, mm mm. Proof!

Also my lack of desk brings this intangible workspace:
