Best game - Day 2 (but not really)

Posted by AK_472 on 2021/03/31 11:32

Day 2:

Okay, so I started this day by opening Graphics Gale and sketching a character, and Drawing a few other things like 

weapons, buildings, etc. 

I wasn't able to do anything today really so I just cemented the story a bit more and brainstormed a few ideas for the different floors in the 

Museum

I'll Cop Your Heart - Day 4: Polishing Some More

Posted by doodletaco on 2021/03/31 11:31

Goals
My goals today were to make it so that the game could not pick the same heart twice in a row, and also tweak the colors on the character in the center. In case I finished those early, I also added some other goals, which were to add a save system and visual feedback when the player made a mistake.

Progress
A lot of these tasks were easier to implement than I expected, and I finished them all. I also added new sprites for the center character, so he would point to the activated heart. I am starting to be happy where my game is.

Issues
I did not encounter many issues in actual development. However, I am starting to realize that I am running out of meaningful features to add to this game. I can only think of a couple before adding new things either hurts accessibility and fun, or ends up being significantly more effort than the benefit I would gain. Tomorrow might be when I finish the actual game, and then work on packaging it.

Screenshot
A screenshot of gameplay. It has a circle with a green blob holding a scalpel, with hearts in all four cardinal directions. The blob points to the red heart towards the bottom.

Best game - Day 1 (but not really)

Posted by AK_472 on 2021/03/31 10:46

Day 1:

(So I forgot to enter any dairy so I decided I will just recap everything I did these past days),

 

I started sketching some ideas but ended up on a level based game where you come the character come from another country to this little town called Gemtown your plan is to steal a gem which is kept in the town museum 

So you just basically just climb the stairs of the museum until you reach the final floor where the gem is kept and then you steal the gem escape from the cops to the airport and take a flight to somewhere unknown

Protect the Pond! Quack the Case! - Trees! So many trees!

Posted by lemon on 2021/03/31 10:08

I've been making tons of different tree assets for this project. The three columns to the left are "toxic trees", and the three to the right are healthy.

Protect the Pond! Quack the Case! - Procedural ducky generation!

Posted by lemon on 2021/03/31 09:10

We can now generate infinite duckies for our game.


Thanks to Akarys and lakmatiol for working with me on this, and to Kosayoda for making most of the original assets!

Copcake Caper - Day 3: Marathon, Not Sprint

Posted by Chard on 2021/03/31 05:12

Today was another slow day and I'm starting to get worried about the eventual shape of our game. From experience I know these things tend to pull together late in the process. All the same, it's hard not to be nervous. So what do we have so far?

  • We have a fairly complete model for the MVP.
  • We have a library of tests ensuring that the model works as intended.
  • We have a scene that faithfully maps the model into sprites.
  • We have a lightweight animation system bringing the scene to life.
  • We have an API for interactions in the scene to be translated to the model.
  • We have a dialogue system for which there is currently no content.
  • We have a growing collection of adorable hand drawn images.

And what do we need to do? Well there's a long list I suppose but first and foremost we need to nail down the gameplay. This is the main reason I haven't shared anything about the game as whole just yet; it's mostly just a toy you can mess around in right now. After that there's a laundry list of things that are needed for the MVP that aren't related to gameplay: a simple menu system, progress saving, testing distribution, etc. All the things it's easy to ignore during the rapid development cycle.

But after that it's all about content and testing. Little bits of coding where our content exceeds our current model, and of course where we identify bugs, but really just filling it up and fleshing it out. In the meantime please enjoy the lovely farming village scene below. Good luck everyone!

GD - Struggling with the technology

Posted by DR0ID on 2021/03/30 22:44

Still struggling a bit with the technology but getting slowly there.


I hope that tomorrow I will be able to start design the players experience and getting the user interface ready for play.
