Markus "Notch" live streaming from Ludum Dare

You might want to take a look at this. It’s fun to see Markus in action :slight_smile:

Thanks but I’m not too excited about the Swedish language
Try removing the “sv.” part :wink:

Ahh, sorry :slight_smile:

I think that it is going to start soon again, unless he decides to give up…

Gives up?!? What is going on?

No worries, he is back coding :slight_smile:

Yeah but now he just suddenly went offline!! T____T

It is looking very good for Markus. He is doing really well and has added a lot of more features than I expected. I hope that he will add that beautiful light effects before he finishes it…

He just finished.

Here is the result: https://s3.amazonaws.com/ld48/index.html

Bah, this is why he’s rich and I’m not.

Cas :slight_smile:

Then maybe you should participare in the next LD :wink:

I cannot get out of the first room? I tried pressing space on the gate and nothing. Am I missing something?

Nevermind

one of the walls have a crack

yeah, I found that right after I posted. Thanks though, I’m sure others will appreciate :slight_smile:

I’m nowhere near good enough to make something like that in 48 hours. I don’t even know how to do that raycasting thingy.

On the other hand I wouldn’t make that n00b mistake of making the first room only exitable by using an undocumented feature on a very difficult to spot graphic :slight_smile:

Cas :slight_smile:

Sounds to me like you’re a better game designer but a worse engineer. I can relate.

On the other hand I haven’t made $30m from any of my designs.

Cas :slight_smile:

“Trying to balance game play against scale is interesting. I can do HUGE oceans with HUGE islands very easily and fast now, but it plays bad.” - Notch ( Markus )

Having technical skill may be beneficial sometimes, until you start to really look at it and realize there isn’t much depth or longevity in pure engineering. Excellent Design will eventually win out.

This might be a dumb question, but I watched part of the stream and he was able to update running code without having to star and stop the applet. He was working on some fonts. How the *@#^ did he do that?

Archdrone, I asked the same question :slight_smile:
