Unfortunately I doubt I'll be able to finish my game, or at least all the parts that I want to. College started today, and I'm busy most of Saturday. That leaves three afternoons left, so we'll see how far I can get. I didn't have time to work on the game today sadly. Maybe next jam will fall on a better week for me, but balancing high school, college, my clubs, and a game jam is a bit much for me...

It really is almost halfway over and all I have is the menu screen... This might not work as well as I planned

I've finished the basic mechanics. The game is gonna sucks, but that's ok. It's my first time with all this...

it is day 4 already but I just started.... I don't know if I can finish this time

Trying to turn the basic controls into a physics-based character controler.

After long hours of development, our game is finally launched on the third day of the competition! Victory, you say? I will answer you: Victory in full measure. Part of our team writes code and continues to develop. While the other part is engaged in character animation, backgrounds, layouts. We continue to work through the task system and the game is already ready, according to bold estimates, by 20%. Dear comrades, the development of the game is proceeding strictly according to the schedule according to the plan. All assigned tasks are successfully solved. We have not lost our minds and continue to work! Road to the dream!

We can share with you our one more character, it will be uploaded in the screenshots. Good luck to all workers!

Yea I forgor to do log day 2 💀

Day 3 Update :-

Basic placeholder character and background is looking good, even have figured out how to make an infinite platform, but a lot still to do, like enemies and other environmental objects.

Years ago I read the 1992 science fiction novel Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. It's the first book in a trilogy about terraforming Mars into an Earth-like planet. I could be misremembering some details. I remember the science being really good although the characters, the first Martian colonists, acted pretty weird in a number of ways. A few of them start the terraforming process by releasing some genetically engineered bacteria or something. This wasn't their mission: they just decided to do it with little concern or caution. The question of whether and how to do it was discussed pretty briefly. The one person I remember opposing it was kind of bullied into shutting up.

Olympus Mons is the largest mountain in the solar system. If you create an ecosystem on Mars complete with a water cycle and erosion you're going to destroy that. I'm not saying I'm opposed to terraforming Mars but there's something lost when it happens, right? Maybe we should think about it first, and get to know the Mars we have now before it's gone forever? I don't know if this was the book's intention but I came away missing red Mars.

So I'm interested in the story of how Mars came to be the red planet in the first place. A few billion years ago Earth and Mars were a lot more similar but one turned green and one turned red. Is that tragic? I don't know how to make a game out of it yet but we'll see where it goes.

What I have now is just half of 3D Hello world. I start getting some ideas of what can be going on in my game. And it gonna be a stealthy game again.

This morning, before heading to the office, I quickly hacked a "camera pursuit" mode.
