Ludum Dare #28 Is On!
Ludum Dare #28 is on!
I’ve entered this weekend’s Ludum Dare competition! Sure, it’s been two weeks since my last post here, but it’s been a full year since my last game compo. They announce a theme Friday night and you have 48 hours to make a game with that theme. I competed in LD #23 and LD #25 using Game Maker 7 and I’m pretty happy with those games, but this time I’m changing it up and using HTML5.
The theme for LD #28 is “You Only Get One.” I don’t know what I’m making yet, but I know I want to use HTML5’s Local Storage to make sure you don’t get another “one” by reloading the game. I need to test if my HTML5 Local Storage, Canvas, and Audio methods work on all of my target browsers, so here’s a quick demo. What you type into it gets stored in your browser’s local storage and doesn’t get sent to our servers. Check back here Sunday night and I’ll post the finished product.
(In the original WordPress post, I embedded my HTML5 Test here. Tumblr doesn’t support HTML5 canvases in posts. That makes me sad.)

Drop Rate – "Donut Land" by Hitstun
Drop Rate has this super nice dude who plays Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 custom parks and some indie games. He has a knack for finding cool stuff, and he found my PS4 park, Donut Land! Um...I think I broke him. Sorry.

Dr. Fatbody - Sonic the Hedgehog 1 at AGDQ2019
Awesome Games Done Quick 2019 brought us a Sonic 1 run by Dr. Fatbody, a highly entertaining player with the speed and precision of a yung Wumbo. He tries risky tricks that backfire sometimes and will goof off a little for style. When everything works, he’s really fast! He reminds me of my own playaround style, and now I know why. He’s also from the fighting game community and plays Zangief in Street Fighter V! It all makes perfect sense now.

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 23: Underrated music From Knuckles’ Chaotix (32X, 1995)
Chaotix nicely uses the extra sound channels that went unused in most 32X games. I think I ought to give Chaotix a chance.

RWBY "Red" Trailer
The world has gotten a little less awesome. We lost Rooster Teeth lead animator Monty Oum to a severe allergic reaction during a medical procedure. Those are no joke! We know Monty Oum from his action-packed mashup series Dead Fantasy and Haloid and his animation work on Red vs Blue. Here’s a stylish trailer from his last original series, RWBY.

Stupjam – Snake Villager
(I actually main Snake in Brawl, so I miss him. Villager is a lot of fun too.)

Yumi’s Odd Odyssey/Sayonara Umihara Kawase Stage Time Attacks
Two months ago, I told you I was hooked on this game. Since then, I’ve played for 47 hours, reached every door, collected every backpack, and got every survival mode ending. I’ve also brought the heat to the North American version’s leaderboards with dozens of stage times in the top three. Since this game helpfully lets you save replays, I get to show you how I got there. Enjoy!

Yatsude – Country of a Thousand Nights and Ten Billion Mornings
That’s my best guess on the translation of the actual title “Sen no Yoru to Hyaku Oku no Asa no Kuni”. Anyway, this is my new desktop wallpaper, and it really is shockingly good. It’s the kind of fantasy town I want to live in, but it’s almost realistic, too. I highly recommend logging into pixiv to see this in its full 1800×750 glory. I’ve been mildly addicted to pixiv lately, and I plan to post plenty more of this stuff one image at a time.
Oh Yatsude, your scene splits my dual monitors perfectly so.

Stupjam – the “Tournament”
I found Stupjam on the leaderboards for Yumi’s Odd Odyssey/Sayonara Umihara Kawase on the 3DS. Stupjam has since moved on to other Nintendo stuff, taking runner up in the Splatoon Art Contest, and is now accepting commissions. Since this artist is on Tumblr, I’m trying out Tumblr’s oEmbed code. Hopefully it works for everyone. (Update: It doesn’t work in Feedly, but I can try adding Tumblr’s own embed code manually next time.)

the “Tournament”
Oddheader – 100 Things You Didn't Notice in Tony Hawk Games
In the PlayStation 2 era, I spent thousands of hours playing the Tony Hawk games online and making levels and videos. We’d get out of bounds and explore behind the scenes, and sometimes find the developers left some easter eggs for us. Oddheader has compiled the community’s findings into one epic 24-minute video that takes us through Neversoft’s entire run with the series.
The transition from WordPress to Tumblr is about 75% complete. 108 WordPress posts became 120 Tumblr posts (20 are Tumblr reblogs). I lose the mouseover text on images, Twitter embeds, and email updates, but most things work and I’ve fixed about a dozen broken links.

Pentatonix – Daft Punk
Pentatonix is here to remind you that there is no better musical instrument than the human voice. After running away with the Sing-Off, this seriously talented a cappella group won a Grammy with this jaw-dropping Daft Punk cover medley. Even their videos are top notch.
