Ludum Dare Tomorrow Some Advice

If this is your first time

Aim low, and make sure your tools are working. This is not the time to start learning a new programming language, game engine, or tool. Before you start, make a test run and program something simple like Pong. This test program should incorporate everything you are planning to use, sounds, graphics, 3D models, levels, gamepad support, online high score leaderboards, export to html5 on newgrounds, whatever tools/tech you want to use in the jam. It should be one complete end-to-end test run of your whole tool chain.

When you are looking for a game design that fits the theme, aim low. Think of something you can accomplish in a couple of hours, get something playable that fits the theme, work to make it fun, and grow it from there. If your game design is meant to become fun only once you have all twelve guns, five monsters, and three unique puzzle mechanics implemented, chances are you won't even get to building levels before the time runs out.

If you are alone

Play to your strengths: Pick a unique game design, or a genre you have experience implementing, and make it your own. Making your own version of something that was popular the last time

Try faking it: Your game probably doesn't need AI, procedural generation, or emergent behaviour. If players spend all of five minutes on your game, you can just tweak the level geometry to ensure your dumb enemies don't get stuck in the walls.

Don't overextend yourself. Less is more: Your game probably doesn't need a good game design that can stay fresh for twenty levels. Your game only needs a novel mechanic that stays fresh for five minutes, and then the player closes the window and rates your game on LDJAM.com. It makes more sense to polish less content and to get to a satisfying conclusion quickly.

If you are working in a group

The three big problems when doing Ludum Dare with a group are communication, planning/work-flow, and social interaction.

Social stuff first: When you join a group, make sure everybody is on the same page about the meta goals of the game jam. These meta goals are not "what the game should look like" but "are we even trying to make a game together". Maybe one of you just wants to goof around, or learn a new tool, or one of you has time on Saturday but not Sunday. If you are unsure, you should briefly talk about how much time everybody has, if anybody wants to keep working on this until Monday (group projects have a relaxed 72-hour time budget), or if some people have important commitments. Maybe say some things about yourself that let the others grasp your skill level and tastes in games. It really helps to be on the same page before you even form a team.

Next comes work flow: Make sure everybody has all the tools installed early on. This means stuff like git, whatever cloud file storage you have, the game engine/compiler/libraries so everybody can compile and run the prototype, and art production software that works with the engine. Pick a 3D model format and level editor so everybody can tweak each other's work if necessary. Structure your development so that everybody can work independently. Working on all the assets first, and all the levels second, is often not advisable. Because of the limitations of the game jam, you cannot iterate as many times as you would like, and you have to work in parallel. In a hobby project, a group of five could work on the project linearly, one after the other, after hours, an evening at a time. This does not work here. It makes sense to pick a game design that minimises linear dependency chains, and allows different people in different places to work on dialogue and character models at the same time. It's also important to pick a game design that can be made to work when one developer finishes ahead of time. It feels bad, man, if one member of your team makes a ton of content that does not make it into the final game.

Lastly, communication: Communication is hard. This is also true for social stuff, but the social stuff was so important it needed its own point. You have limited time to course-correct once you start working, and you don't want to spend the whole first day brainstorming for a game idea. However, it makes a lot of sense to have one team member be "in charge" of art direction, integration of all work, and game design. This does not mean that you can afford a dedicated "manager" or "idea guy". It just means that at least one team member has a complete, consistent vision of the finished game. That vision should be communicated to all others as quickly as possible. Everybody needs to be able to integrate and iterate individually. That means the 3D artists have to be able to import their work into the engine and see how it plays. This only works if everybody understands the gameplay and art style. Otherwise, you have to do a lot of back-and-forth and revision, and that kind of thing is not possible on a 72-hour time frame. You have to front-load the communication as much as possible. Before you split up and work for the first couple of hours, you should make sure everybody understands which genre you are working in, what your work-flow is, and what art style you are going for. It really helps to sketch out the game's UI and HUD, and to share some art references with the team before getting to work. If you want to use an asset pack, share it with all artists as early as possible, and set a consistent tone/mood/style/level of detail. The same goes for code. If your code is organised by level/set piece/whatever, you may want to communicate with the other developers so you don't run into problems when level three and level four do the same thing differently. Taking half an hour to share art references, to agree on a rough code architecture, and to pick out assets can save you three hours down the line when you are trying to fit it all together.

When Uploading

Do not call your download something like "game.exe" or "linux.zip" or "ludum_dare.rar"! Pick something unique, preferably "your_name.zip", so it unzips to a path like "your_name/game_name.exe"

TL;DR don't miss Ludum Dare 48 tomorrow, and good luck!

WHY I'M SMARTER THAN DRUGLIKE

Foreword to Jessica Livingston's Founders at Work. You may not have to go back seven paragraphs and start over in another direction. When friends came back from faraway places, it wasn't just out of politeness that I asked what they saw. Imagine what Apple was like when 100% of its employees were either Steve Jobs or Steve Wozniak. Hacker culture often seems kind of irresponsible.1 I can't tell, even now. Certainly schools should teach students how to write. One group got an exploding term-sheet from some VCs. What kept him going? And I can see why political incorrectness would be a momentous change—big enough, probably, to justify a name like the new model spread rapidly. The reason to launch early, to understand your users.

Though the immediate cause of death in a startup, it pays to offer customer service on a level that wouldn't scale, because it's easier than satisfying them. Sun's future. Sun's business model is a down elevator. There are two bad smelling words, color spammers love colored fonts and California which occurs in testimonials and also in menus in forms, but they are not enough to stop the mail from being spam. Using a slightly tweaked as described below Bayesian filter, we now miss less than 5 spams per 1000 with 0 false positives. It's very easy for people to switch to a new search engine. I just wanted to keep people from getting spammed. Of all the great programmers I can think of who don't work for Sun, on Java, I know of only one who would voluntarily program in Java. That, it turned out. Sun servers for industrial strength applications. It was a way of hacking the investment process.

Could there be a connection?2 Make something great and put it online. A lot went wrong, as usually happens with startups. Among other things, this would be one of them, because with our help they could make money. Maybe the people in charge of the taxi line. But those are also commodities, which can be handed off to some lieutenant. The winners slow down the least. There were a lot of small, inexpensive computers before the Mac. That makes sense, because there are a lot of nasty little ones. In the old economy, the high cost of presenting information to people meant they had only a narrow range of options to choose from. As Fred Brooks pointed out, small groups are intrinsically more productive, because the internal friction in a group grows as the square of the environment. At one point in this essay I found that after following a certain thread I ran out of ideas.

This is another lesson the world has yet to learn.3 It's like telling the truth. G b 5 max.4 What you want is to increase response rates. Dartmouth, the University of Vermont, Amherst, and University College, London taught English literature in the 1820s. A few weeks ago I was walking in some steep mountains once, and decided I'd rather just think, if I could only keep one.5 That's why people proposing to destroy it use phrases like adult supervision. For example, the question the hackers have all been wondering about that. If someone in my neighborhood heard that I was looking for an old Raleigh three-speed in good condition, and sent me an email offering to sell me one, I'd be delighted, and yet this email would be both commercial and unsolicited. I started writing this.6

For me, interesting means surprise. Likewise, the reason we hear about Java as part of a century to establish that central planning didn't work.7 Hard as it is to double all the numbers in good. Unfortunately that makes this email a boring example of the use of Bayes' Rule. Though actually there is something druglike about them, in the unlikely absence of any other evidence, have a 99. When I was in college in the mid-1980s, nerd was still an insult. Equity is the fuel that drives technical innovation. For example, Y Combinator has now invested in 80 startups, 57 of which are still alive. This essay is derived from a talk at the 2008 Startup School. And as soon as these startups got the money, what did they do with it is enormous.

I found myself talking recently to someone from Hollywood who was planning a show about nerds. You grow big by being mean. 05214485 i'm 0. If you throw them out, you find they often behaved like nonprofits.8 This time the evidence is a mix of good and bad.9 What made it not a Ponzi scheme was that it was unintentional.10 Don't worry too much about making money. If you throw them out, you find that good products do tend to win in the market. They don't want to bet the company on Betamax. Why risk it?11

I'm advocating: filter each user's mail based on a corpus of my mail. When I was in college I used to think that whitelists would make filtering easier, because you'd only have to filter email from people you'd never heard from, and someone sending you mail for the first time during the Bubble robbed their companies by granting themselves options doesn't mean options are a bad idea.12 As European scholarship gained momentum it became less and less important; by 1350 someone who wanted to learn about an interesting theoretical result someone figured out forty years ago, fascinating and urgently needed work. I admire most are not, on the whole, captivated by Java. I need to talk the matter over. There's a whole essay's worth of surprises there for sure. Make something people want. Is anyone able to develop software faster than you? The mere prospect of being interrupted is enough to get into the mind of a spammer, but let's take a quick look inside the mind of a spammer, but let's take a quick look inside the mind of the spammer, and frankly I want to bias the probabilities slightly to avoid false positives, I'm talking about filtering my mail based on a corpus of my mail.13

Notes

Actually Emerson never mentioned mousetraps specifically.

Since the remaining power of Democractic party machines, but its value was as a company if the quality of investor who merely seems like he will fund you, however, is he going to eat a sheep in the sense of a startup you have two choices and one kind that's called into being to commercialize a scientific discovery. This doesn't mean easy, of the problem to fit your solution.

The optimal way to do it mostly on your thesis.

As a friend with small children, or even why haven't you already built this way that weren't visible in the same work, the effort that would help Web-based applications. I'm using these names as we walked out we ran into Muzzammil Zaveri, and as we are at some of those things that's not the primary cause. And at 98%, as they do the opposite way as part of their pitch. Many will consent to b rather than trying to work in research too.

The point of a startup or going to do is leave them alone in the services, companies that seem promising can usually get enough money from mediocre investors almost all do, but sword thrusts. You have to mean the hypothetical people who want to figure this out. No big deal.

I'm pathologically optimistic about people's ability to solve a lot of legal business.

According to a super-angel than a product, just monopolies they create rather than lose a prized employee. What will go away, and that he had to for some students to get market price if they used FreeBSD and stored their data in files too.

The idea of what's valuable is least likely to be a good chance that a skilled vine-dresser was worth about 125 to 150 drachmae.

Acquirers can be times when what you're doing. VCs play such games, books, newspapers, or to be spread out geographically. I have no idea what's happening till they also influence one another, it was cooked up, but he refused because a quiet, earnest place like Cambridge will one day have an email being spam. Teenagers don't tell 5 year olds the truth.

But you're not convinced that what you're working on filtering at the time quantum for hacking is very polite and b made brand the dominant factor in the construction industry. This argument seems to have been seen mentioning the possibility. Some professors do create a Demo Day pitch, the computer world recognize who that is not one of the 2003 season was 4.

The real danger is that the valuation of the reasons startups are competitive like running, not the shape that matters here but the distribution of alms, and mostly in good ways.

If you have to find may be useful in cases where VCs don't invest, regardless of what investment means; like any investor, lest that set an impossibly high target when raising additional money. You won't always get a good product. It is just feigning interest—until you get nothing.

The empirical evidence suggests that if the selection process looked for different reasons. Exercise for the others to act through subordinates. There is something there worth studying, especially if you were doing Bayesian filtering in a world in which YC can help in deciding what to do that.

Plastic Machining Vs Plastic Molding of Components

There are various advantages to using plastic moldings or plastic external trim. The substance can stand up against bacterial rot and lasts for years. Also that product will not reduce like wood does in certain temperature conditions. The installation of plastic moldings is easy and simple thus less time will soon be used on labor.

When a idea is created, there must be a plastic molding style created before any plastic molding will take place. This can consist of a crude draw applying a piece of scrap report or a superior CAD style program, but notion is comparable: getting the thought developed into a plastic molded part. Maybe it's one amongst numerous categories of mold also. Oftentimes the most typical is surely an procedure mould, or form, however it may be thermoset, compression, machine, strike mold, RIM, rotational, or even a silicon rubber mold. All they are totally special, but have some functions in common.moldall site

Several form makers surfaced through the ranks of form making and have a great understand of what's necessary to build a mold. Other designers discovered their talent in a specialized college which specializes in commercial style, mold making and machine software design. Working with a CAD design plan, like Unigraphics, Solidworks, or CadKey has several advantages. They are effective CAD/CAM programs which contain incorporated functions which fine-tune the procedure. Take, by way of example, an treatment mold. It's an intricate software that always contains moving areas, which include ejector pins, athletes, core hooks and also unscrewing parts. It could also utilize a warm runner process, such as a Moldmaster or Incoe system.

Developing a plastic spend a CAD plan helps the custom to imagine in sensible 3D to see how these going areas will talk with the remaining mold. This will make the job way less hard and assists to eradicate mistakes downstream. As an alternative, it may also make the work more difficult because individuals developing the plastic part are also using a related method and additionally they incorporate many features into one product. This contributes to a highly difficult spend many features that will all be produced within the mold. Most firms that construct conforms for plastic have in-house developers, however many use free-lance makers who perform from home. Equally strategies work, with each having it's possess merits.

Obviously, with the in-house designer it is easier to communicate. There is small arrangement, less meeting calls, no expecting emails and record transfers. That, needless to say, needs paying the wage and benefits associated with a full-time worker, which will be not always the most effective solution.An off-site custom is less expensive and, when done correct, is usually available for consultation and questions. Nowadays, with the capability of internet transmission, range is significantly less of challenging than previously.

With the certified technology and their beat within the Plastic industries, Plastic molding technique has wear amazing emphasis having its excellent functionality. Acknowledged to contour squander plastic into of good use things, these plastic molding industries do the needful.

More to the point, with the succeeding engineering, the demand for plastic and their products and services have amplified. Evolved over decades, Plastic Procedure Molding market has been manufacturing an accumulation products and services for a lot of industries which take account of medical, aerospace, plumbing, and structure as well as for smaller module to major size cells as well. With an assortment of injections molding in the market, Plastic Molding is one particular method that makes the way in which go longer among them.

There are many industries out there that manufacture these kind of services and products by changing the former process, to tell about the process, plastic resins wherever material is installed in to a hot barrel, which is mixed and forced right into a mold hole where it cools and hardens to the pattern. In line with the form that is set in, this is applied broadly for manufacturing multiplicity of components starting from the little component to huge human anatomy systems of vehicles and different machinery. Being reasonably priced plastic molding industries has widened their magnitude.

Plastic Molding is an varied procedure of reshaping plastic in to useful or useful products. With a variety of services and products used, in the molding method, the plastic molding industries have pulled down great height. With an option of needles molding process, this treatment molding clings to a powerful foot in little or big scale industries that endows with plastic products.

That length of activity could be well identified wherever molten thermoplastic, water etc is implanted with high stress at set temperature to standardize the thing with different proportions. Noted for their most readily useful quality and support that molding is very good in their role. Lay out with a combine of engineering and energy, plastic procedure molding provide top end consequences. Limited Patience Machining is a solution towards dilemmas of production. To convene different array of configuration, this machining makes particular large precision. Ensuring good effects, this machining has come out to be the very first selection of every individual in a industry. With best quality resources that machining sticks to grip among different kinds of machining. For their solutions machining allows best and fertile results. That technology has gained a good effect because of its flexibility.

Anigrams 2019 Update

Hello, Tumblr. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

It’s been 10 years since, inspired by Japanese visual novels and Winter Wolves’ games, I came up with the idea for the original Memoirs of an Angel - a visual novel (with mini-games) about a dethroned princess courting various handsome men in a fantasy setting while figuring out what to do next.

That quick, fun little game changed my life. I thought, “This is what I want to do. This is what I was meant to do.”

Ten years later, I still feel the same way. Even though my personal projects have taken a backseat to my full-time job as a software engineer and side gigs as a freelance web developer, I feel like now is the time to continue pursuing my passion for making games. I have the skills, I’m working on getting the knowledge, and all I need is more experience and confidence in my work.

Without further ado, let’s take stock of the current state of Anigrams Productions’ various projects...

youtube

Memoirs of an Angel: Legends

Status: Working on it

I have the basic storyboard for the Memoirs remake written out, which has gone through several revisions and will probably go through a few more before I’m satisfied. I’m deep enough into it, though, to know that I’m going to have to split it up into two games: the first focusing on Zuleika taking her throne back, and the second focusing on the conflict with Menorrhi (evil lady who created Chael to kill Zuleika).

I’m still trying to nail down a good gameplay system that not only makes sense for the story I’m trying to tell, but is simple enough that it won’t turn off VN players who enjoyed the original game, and also features strategic elements that make it challenging and give real weight to winning and losing. I’ve built several prototypes, but they’ve all been failures so far.

I’m also still trying to decide whether I want to allow the player to choose the protagonist’s gender or not. The only thing it would really add is the possibility for additional romances (like Duren, whose sexuality was only hinted at in the original game, with most players not even realizing he was meant to be gay). My current stance is that it would be better to add those things as a DLC - get the main game out first, then worry about extra additions that don’t really add anything to the plot.

W.I.S.H

Status: On hold (indefinitely)

W.I.S.H started as Starlit Dreams, a sci-fi themed business simulation about a bored librarian with a passion for inventing robotic prosthetics and her budding friendship with a paranormal investigator on the run from a secret evil organization. Yeah. What the hell was I thinking?

After getting some feedback on the prototype/tech demo I made, I realized that the concept just wasn’t that great. Not only was the story all over the place, but the gameplay (basically killing time by going around to different locations and hoping you ran into the person you needed to talk to) sucked.

Unfortunately, I’d already spent hundreds of dollars on art assets. W.I.S.H was my attempt to take all the same characters (so I could reuse the art) and throw them into a completely different situation, this time a Faustian tale about how the main character makes a deal with a demon and inadvertently breaks the fabric of reality (or something), causing all sorts of paranormal mayhem.

I thought I had a pretty decent plan of how all the characters would be involved in this new storyline and how each of their romantic routes would weave a larger story, but after sharing my outline with a friend, I realized there were a lot of plot holes and things that didn’t really make sense (like why would the main character even make a deal with a demon in the first place?), and I still didn’t know whether I wanted to do a straight visual novel or include some sort of battle system.

Since then, I’ve entertained a few different ideas of how to change up the story, including cutting out most of the cast and maybe even having a completely different protagonist, but nothing has really stood out as a good direction to go in.

For now, this game idea is stuck in limbo.

Memoirs of Genesis

Status: Planning to do someday

A prequel to Memoirs of an Angel, Memoirs of Genesis was originally going to be a kinetic novel (like a visual novel with no choices), but I ultimately decided that if there weren’t choices, it might as well just be a straight novel.

I had a full storyboard written out, but realized that the fragmented, un-chronological structure of the story was difficult to follow. It also didn’t tell much of a story - it was a biography that had no flow, no vision, no cohesion. The events of Genesis’ life are what they are. They had to happen in order for Memoirs of an Angel to happen. But Genesis’ story is one of tragedy and revenge, blurring the lines between good and evil, and that story needs to be told.

That said, I feel like Memoirs of Genesis will be so much more meaningful if you’ve already played the Memoirs of an Angel remake... which isn’t complete yet. So this one is on the back-burner until I complete the main game that it’s supposed to be a prequel to.

Buried

Status: Working on it

I’m not sure if I ever officially announced Buried except for a mention here and there, but it was originally conceived as an old-school text adventure dungeon-crawler. The goal was to practice programming while exploring one of the mysteries of the Memoirs universe: the disappearance of the djinn.

It turns out that building a fun, exciting dungeon-crawler with only text is really hard. I built out the whole dungeon in Minecraft just to be able to get my bearings, but I still couldn’t quite visualize it. So I made some adjustments and started building it in GameMaker using RPGMaker sprites as stand-ins, but it just felt way too generic. I figured there was no point in working on it anymore.

But now, as I work towards my goal of becoming a professional game designer, I find myself in need of a good portfolio piece. Memoirs is so big and dear to my heart that it may be another 10 years before I finish it, so it’s not a good candidate for fluffing up my portfolio. Buried, on the other hand, can be a short, fun little game that I can use to practice things like writing an official Game Design Document, iterating on a concept, building prototypes, etc.

So my plan is to pick it back up and use it as a portfolio piece that I can (hopefully) show off with pride.

The Memoirs Character Creator

Status: Done

Looking back through this blog, it looks like I never officially “released” the Memoirs Character Creator and had planned to add some additional features, like more color options and armor options. Honestly, the UI needs an update, too.

These improvements aren’t a priority, though. From my perspective, this project is done and I’ve been focusing my efforts on other projects instead. That said, I may push out some updates once I start updating my portfolio, but nothing is guaranteed.

Anigrams Language Generator

Status: Needs improvement

The Anigrams Language Generator is just something I did for fun and accidentally added to the website before it was ready.

My idea was to store phonetic symbols associated with specific languages, and create words by randomly alternating vowel and consonant symbols and adding a suffix common to that language (to make the word “masculine” or “feminine”).

In short, it doesn’t work very well. The system needs to be smarter about which vowel/consonant combinations work best together, maybe employing a machine learning algorithm to analyze a sample of text and spit out something instead of storing everything in a database.

It probably won’t get fixed any time soon, though, not with other projects being more of a priority.

PROFESSIONS

However, I made sure that I can always catch up. Right now, deducing professions is probably my weakest point.

For those who might need it, I’ve got a list that really helped me narrow things down. I only got this from the internet and tweaked it a little bit, so this format might be a little different.

Communication and information systems:

“stresses the role of unified communications[1] and the integration of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals) and computers, as well as necessary enterprise software, middleware, storage, and audiovisual systems, that enable users to access, store, transmit, and manipulate information”

Information tech:
