Building a Unity game in 48 hours! (timelapse + playable)

[Crunchy]

Hey guys, had a blast participating in the Ludum Dare 48hr game competition last weekend... this was my first time and I highly recommend it if you're up to it (it's pretty intense)!

Here is my timelapse (kinda fun to watch):

I've been taking suggestions on how to improve the gameplay, so a future (iOS) version is in the works. Overall I'm am very proud of my submission (pretty much my first "complete" game ever).

[Tayfe]

wow o.O - this is fantastic!

Thank you for recording and sharing. It's very interesting to see how you did this game And the gameplay-idea is genious, too

I've got one question to you: Did you painted the pictures like the man with the frog with a mouse or did you used a pencil tablet (is it called like that?) ?

[Duskling]

This.

It's just great! I love it!

I would like to know if you used a tablet aswell.

[mrbdrm]

fantastic
you are really talented .

That looks really great. What program did you use to record this?

[TwiiK]

Really inspirational.

I keep telling myself I need to enter these kind of competitions to actually complete a few games, but then with my OCD and being a perfectionist I spend 48 hours tweaking a light and still make a note to tweak it more later on and get nowhere.

Love watching people who can do all facets of game creation. Music and sound are things I haven't even dared look at.

I love Poizone!

Nice work, that was fun to watch.

[DaphydTheBard]

Awesome!

Thanks for the feedback! It really is motivating and makes me want to do more of this kind of stuff.

@Tayfe and MrDuskling - I use a Wacom graphics tablet... I love the thing. You don't have to shell out for a Wacom though, I've heard stellar reviews of the tablets from monoprice (http://www.monoprice.com/products/su...08&cp_id=10841) at a fraction of the cost.

@Birdbrain - I used an opensource program called Cronolapse (http://code.google.com/p/chronolapse/) - it takes interval screenshots and then allows you to encode them to video. Very handy.

Love the art!

Did you use any 3rd party plugins for unity for handling the sprites?

[Podcubed]

That was amazing. Mesmerising to see the 48 hours played out
