GameDev Meeting Notes

Play It Roto-Robot by fredric Development Background This was part of my “make a game a month” effort. This one took much longer than a month, though. I think that I started this back in October, so around 3 or 4 months. The Story First, the name Rotorobot came from my kid. I was showing him the early gameplay and asked him to name the character. He said Rotorobot. You’ll have to ask him what it means.

Roto-Robot by fredric Short platformer game. Controls: wasd / arrow keys: movement spacebar: jump and jetpack control or left-mouse click: shoot The jetpack direction is controlled by the last directional key clicked. The game is comprised of 3 short levels with plenty of story between.

Play It LDJam 45 Background I created this game as an entry for the 72-hour Ludum Dare 45. The theme was “Start from Nothing”. This is the second LDJam that I’ve participated in, and I feel like my entry this time around was much better than the last one. Idea behind Nature Garden My idea with Nature Garden was to create a game where you started with absolutely nothing (literally a barren island) and you’d have to control natural forces to get certain things to grow.

LDJam Theme Visit the site here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/45 The theme for this Ludum Dare Jam was Start with nothing Check out my entry Nature Garden or read the post-mortem. Favorite Games #1: Medieval City Sim Place buildings to build the city with the most points: I loved this game. It uses Kenney’s Bit-Pack spritesheet and font. The game has good replay value, I think I played it 4 or 5 times before coming up with a good city.

Check out the Unity project on github git clone git@github.com:fdorothy/nature_garden Description Simple clicker game made for LD Jam 45 (theme: start with nothing) This is a simple clicker game. Plants will grow and you have to harvest them when they are ripe, but before they die! You are a demigod and can control some natural events, such as bee swarms, cow swarms and rain. These can help your little island grow if done at the right time.
