anotherhorseman Posted January 13, 2020 I was told not to be shy. I have never made a game. I will not be shy -- I don't know how to make a game. I opened the link to the Random-Episode selector. It opened to Crazy Crane Deceit. It's an episode about Lobsters and DOTA and The Binding of Buzz Aldrin. I think i can make this. I would like to make this game: I want to make a crane game titled Crazy Crane's Athlon for Wizard Jam X. I read the other Dev Logs; someone mentioned they were using Love. So i grabbed the love ppa. Not sure how to open it or what to do with it. I will look up some videos. For prizes, i have ~10 tabletop rpgs i wrote. I want player to be able to: grab treasure chests (prizes) prize animation scroll pops out of treasure chest print prizes Like a "You Won!" certificate except its a pen+paper rpg I want crane to be able to: become inflamed destroy all it touches next 4 secs spawn miniatures (astronauts) hang from crane's links/chain/cable deflect projectiles/ disable enemy" forces become magnetized pull in prizes also pulls in tanks I want setting to have: Tanks "shoots" (shakes) crane Lobsters "cuts" crane length crane can only reach 1st 1/2 4 secs Mimics (fake treasure chests Opens to fire Shrink Ray Shrinks crane head Background I want UI to have: Track ball Move mouse to roll track ball Click depress track ball closes clamp Up/Down toggle 8 seconds to reach bottom/top Indicator lights Enemies (vertical) & Power-ups (horizontal) currently spawned Like Check Engine/Oil Lights Prize hole Countdown timer ~30-45 seconds Quote Crane game w/print 'n' play prizes As you move through the crane game, the background shifts to match your changing coordinates Each item in the crane game is a handmade RPG to print&play with your friends (if/whenever) Turn off defenses to make picking/holding items easier/more wonderful possible Music is strum patterns matching your actions (if all inputs constant: 360 notes per minute -- 6 sounds per second) Turn on offenses to blast other items out of the way or to clear obstacles (like shelves).

Ganz Posted January 14, 2020 Nice! I've never heard of Love 2D, it looks really cool. Also, may I say, I like your handwriting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anotherhorseman Posted January 15, 2020 The computer doesn't do anything anymore. I guess I'm done. Here's the error the computer throws up and the rest of the game notes. https://photos.app.goo.gl/mGRRzDrUBjuKWA8Z9 Edit: oh, here's the prizes in case anyone was looking forward to those https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GSSSGhLswifH2axUmIo3kkmtrHx5f5Zi/view?usp=drivesdk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
