Great soft shadows, nice work!
Think about it twice before writing such things…
All night I layed awake thinking up a storm and early this morning I think I may have it. You will be hearing from me shortly. Muhuhahaha (Imagine that in a deep voice, not like, you know, a 14 year old’s voice) :persecutioncomplex:
I think I’ll try and finish something. I started a top down shooter a little bit ago, so I already had some stuff such as movement, collision, and shooting done. This morning I came up with an idea for the gameplay and story, and made the art to create the first room. The only thing I didn’t make was the player sprite. I should probably do more work on the gameplay and story and less on graphics right now :

I’m making it with LibGDX and the lighting is with Box2DLights.
Made a little character. Now I have to convert him to top down :emo:
If only I could finish my current project by the end of December. 
… Maybe December… 2015
A little side project wouldn’t hurt. ;D Don’t you need some breaks from RPC?
When you get a large enough project going, a side project/break can end up being another part of the same game. Win-win, gives you a break from whatever you’re doing and you’re still contributing to the main game/goal.
So will winners and losers be chosen?
Probably not
Starting to remember how to GDX, also trying out Box2D:
Nobody said top-down shooter meant dudes with pistols!
Knew it!!!
Interestingly, when The_Lion_King and I were coming up with the theme/genre, the two we narrowed it down to (or rather, the only two ideas we had) were “tanks game” and “top down shooter”.
My game idea is just a crazy little tank shooter with a few puns a small storyline…
I haven’t even started, I make the prototype, run into a wall, stop and restart…
And that is why you fail. Make a damn game already.
Unequivocally this.
If you give up every time you hit a wall, you never learn. You’re just doing the “easy parts” over and over again and again. That’s why some programmers make amazing games with less than 2-3 years experience, and some have 10+ years of experience and still can’t get collision detection right or make a tile map that runs more than 5FPS. It’s not because the former is smarter than the ladder, the former just broke through barriers instead of giving up.
Woah, what a coincidence, I actually made my LD31 entry a top down shooter where you play as a tank! Can I just continue working on that as my game, because then I might consider joining too.
Yes, maybe post a before and after at the end of the year. Just have fun and make your game awesome
