Earth Defender


Earth Defender was my entry to Ludum Dare 26 (my first LD ever). I really loved the theme “Minimalism” and it was a challenge for me creating for the first time a game with this theme, for this reason i decided to enter in the Jam competition so i could have a little more time to make Earth Defender ^.^

What happened?

I’ve been programming since last year almost in JAVA, my favourite language, so i’ve chosen to create a game in java within 72 hours using Eclipse as IDE and Graphics Gale to make the pixel art. When the competition has started it was night in my time zone, for this reason i could start working on my game only after 7 hours from the begin! But i got immediately an idea “Make a classic space game where you are the hero and you have to save the world from an alien invasion!“, i was pretty lucky ^.^!

First i started working on the collision detection (1st day) and i finished to code the game within about 30 hours! Then, using Graphics Gale, i made the pixel art, the sprites and the background! I made first the spaceship and the background (with a pixelated earth) and then the alien ships, it was very funny and exciting making the “Actors” of my own game!Finally after less than 50 hours i submitted Earth Defender as a jam entry, Ludum Dare 26 was certainly an unforgettable experience.

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?

An infected room from the second part of Cybel ! Are you up for some cleansing?

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
