No More Sweden 2009
Splash screen by Hideous
Last weekend I traveled to Malmö Sweden to participate a game jam called No More Sweden. This was the second time the jam was organized and it had grown from our humble begins of 10 people to a party of 40 or so. It was a sweet jam and I had a lot of fun, meeting old friends and making new ones. And making games as well.
We had a web-camera that was broadcasting video from the party place to the internets. So now thanks to advanced technology you can experience exactly what No More Sweden was like if you were a web camera running at the speed of 1 frame per every minute.
Big thanks to Martin “grapefrukt” Jonasson and other organizers for the work they did to make this happen. As a sign of my appreciation I’ll post an image of Martin with his mustaches on.

We also made a game together with Martin. I was responsible for the coding and Martin played the part of a graphics designer. And he played it well, going as far as to demand such features as: “You have to use the color burn filter when you render this sprite” and “We have to have dynamic lightning effects in our game”. The game design fell into place pretty nicely, even though when we created a quick a mock up of our original idea we had to scrap it, because it sucked hard.
Here’s a pic of me battling with some bugs in the code of our game:

We’ll release the game after I’ve fixed few things with it. I’d expect it to be out on the 1st of August

Fabulous song that you picked. And for the record the music is M.A. Numminen - Kookospähkinä.

I love how you were constantly getting distracted by Spelunky. I love that game. I finally beat it yesterday.

I really need to join your CPD forums. Wait… I can’t afford CPD right now. Anyway… A handful of things…
1. Less Spelunky, more coding
2. No, wait, MORE Spelunky, less coding.
3. YOU ARE EVIL FOR ADDICTING ME TO Spelunky!
4. Could you give me Spelunky lessons? I can’t get past the second or third level (really) even though I have been playing it like nuts for two days now. Of course, you’ve at least gotten to the boss, Petri.(Google Spelunky Wiki, Spelunky noobs like me! :P)
5.Why am I making this list? Oh yeah, I was about to play Spelunky.
Also, thanks for telling me you read XKCD.

Oooooooooo…. Do I sense a fight? Martin vs. Petri? Sweet!

I almost got in to the City of Gold.
I just made a one small mistake, and It was to die too far from the Moai Statue.
I still defeated the boss and won.

Well, your 7-day game is late…
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:03 am
too late…
August 3rd, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Yes, the game is late, but it looks like you can still pick it up on the No More Sweden website.
And moldy_tomato… That’s just harsh. Buying a $50,000 Ankh for nothing. Honestly, I haven’t gotten that far, but the Spelunky wiki is my friend.

[...] thought it was so cool that Petri used Chronolapse to film No More Sweden from his laptop’s perspective, so I used the same [...]
