Ludum Dare Once Again!

So I've basically vowed to tackle this well known game jam every time it rolls around for the foreseeable future. It's about two hours before the theme is announced and I am hyping myself up for what will be I'm sure another great experience. One thing that has happened since the last LD is I've been getting involved in more projects and becoming a better developer in general. If I make at least 3 games a year then I'll be rather satisfied. The main reason for entering this event is to have a new little project that I can throw up on this blog every few months. I like what I did with the notebook while I was working so I'm going to keep doing that. Still going to block out time. Still going to avoid the creeps. I'll be back on Sunday with the AAR. - Peace!

I complained very much about the chromebook.

Then.. I discovered Chrubuntu. Long story short. It's super badass OS. My only regret is that the hardware itself can't handle what the OS has to offer. Things like the wine layer in particular just don't support the small processor to memory ratio that this thing is packed with. But.. for $150 Chrubuntu ( linux ) makes this a heck of a whole lot more of a machine. I'm still trying to work out just how I'm going to get back to full on work. In the meantime I'm doing a lot of reading on the CLI thing. I have music and sound editing covered ( to an extent ) I have a pretty nice IDE ( gedit is the best thing I've seen so far ) of course Gimp and Blender work like a charm. Alls I really want is a solid game framework that I can grow with. I am running tests on Cocos2d-html5 because I think it's the way to go. In the future. Apps will download you. Shoot .. they already do.

I'll keep you posted. ... person.

Angrycrow's Best of Ludum Dare #27

Well the results are in. The judging is over and the competition was grand with over 2200 games that were submitted by teams and solo developers. I was particularly impressed by the number HTML5 games that were submitted. I think for the next competition ( in December ) I'm going to take that route. Without further ado here is my list of best Ludum Dare #27 games ( in no particular order .. actually in the order that I played them) 





















( also this was the coolest thing that I've seen for this compo. Real good interface. I just wish that it had more of a checklist feature because there are so many things. It get's hard after testing a few hundred games to remember if you've played something or not ) 

That's all folks! See you next time!
