Starting in approx 1 day is LUDUM DARE 48 #21
Basically, it is a rapid game making competition, you guys should use AppGameKit to make something awesome for it. I'm entering and I can be found on the ludum dare IRC as linux_mage or black_mage

http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/

It seems that there are a lot of smart people who I will be able to learn a lot from. I hope to see some of you there

Hi Guys,

I know it's cruel to throw you a competition only four days after we launch AppGameKit, and a comp that only lasts 48 hours at that. Since the competition does not have any prizes as such, in addition to the kudos of completing a game and showing the world, if you mention in your entry that it was created in AppGameKit and use the AppGameKit logo found here (http://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/distribution.html), if you win a Gold, Silver or Bronze badge in LUDUM DARE 48 #21, we will refund you your purchase of AppGameKit and mention your achievement in the next newsletter.

I am a great fan of 24 and 48 hour game making competitions as it gives me the perfect excuse to stay up all night, eat pizza, drink coke and go absolutely code nuts on a game idea.

To everyone brave enough to enter, good luck and may AppGameKit be with you, always.

I drink tea, and in my spare time I write software.

I'll take a shot at entering this and not just because of Lee's generous offer.

I know what you mean. I had exams all of this week and had to resist the temptation of downloading and installing AGK. I could have started using it on Monday but had to wait until Friday. It was a very long week...

These competions are great preparation for what it can be like in industry. It all sounds fun till you have to do it for work

What happens if you finished a game already?

The rules are that you can't start until the official start time, and you have to make the game, and any assets used in it during the 48 hour period.

You can use assets from online sources, but ONLY if you are freely allowed to based on the creator's license.

I suspect they don't reveal the Theme of the compo until the timer runs out, so it's going to be a mad dash to an idea, then slamming it together.

SOUNDS LIKE A BLAST!!!

I wont be able to devote the whole 48 hours to it, but I'm in!

Here are the rules of the competition

http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/rules/

I'm not sure if you are allowed to use in game graphics from other sources. It does not explicitly state this. I am going to be creating all of the graphics myself from scratch

For the Compo part you have to do it solo.

For the Jam, you can get help.

One person said yes on the IRC channel, but I don't know if they were serious, or if they had the authority to say so.

The Theme is : ESCAPE

I'm not taking any chances, and I'm just making my own art. It's 2D and very cartoonish, but it should do the job.

7PM Sunday night (Pacific Time)

There's a countdown on their compo page.

http://ludumdare.com/compo/

I found out the theme last night at 7, came up with an idea about 20 minutes later, and 2 hours later had about 2/3 of the art done. At that point I went and watched some TV and then got about 6 1/2 hours sleep. I'm on my second cup of coffee this morning.

I'm about 80% done with the artwork, and about 1/4 into the coding.

Nice!

Mine is going to be right down to the wire. It took some time to sort out the physics, and some things in Box2D still aren't quite right, but it's playable and my 14 yo son is laughing his butt off playing it.

I've got one more coding issue to work out, then I'll try and add some sound effects, and maybe some music. Not sure yet. We'll see how long it takes.

Darn, ran out of time. Still I've uploaded what I've got so far. The game is playable although the physics is a bit temperamental on some machines and I didn't have time to redo the graphics or add sound effects. You can see my entry here.

Good fun though and it's given me a chance to have a proper go with AGK. Well done Mnemonix, your game looks pretty impressive. I look forwards to trying it. Make sure you get your entry in KISTech! Only 12 minutes to go!!

According to those on the #ludumdare IRC channel they've extended the submission deadline 12 hours due to issues with the website.

I finished 22 minutes before the dealine.

The game can be downloaded here.
The Getaway Car

and my first ever Timelapse video. A snapshot of my desktop every 30 seconds during development.


That was a lot of fun. I didn't stress, didn't lose any sleep, didn't eat a bunch of junk food, took breaks now and then. It came together a lot easier than I expected.

I can say for certain that it came together so easily because of AGK.

Looks great KISTech! Impressive considering you only had the tool for a few days.

I think I am going to take my game further, there was more I wanted to put in but time was a huge constraint and I didn't want to overcomplicate the development process.
My code ended up totally shambolic at the end of it all so I will be starting afresh with some new R&D over the next few days.

We tested the download and saw the missing image issue. It's fixed now so you can download it again and check it out.

@2beastmode4u,
Nice music and graphics. I can't move though. I can only shoot. WASD doesn't work.

I don't think I got enough votes to really count for anything. The few that did play it didn't seem to give it a fair chance.

It was fun though, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
