• There's now a scoring system!
• The aquatic life moves and animates.
• BUBBLES!
• It's a responsive web app, so displays well on mobile browsers.
• I've adjusted various settings so as the score increases the game becomes faster / more challenging.

• Add a countdown clock, so you have to get as many points within the time limit.
• When on mobile, use the browser based accelerometer API to control the submarine's depth (i.e. tilt the phone to steer up/down).
• Play test with my kids, folks at tomorrow morning's gym class (they were enthusiastic to learn I was making a game for PyWeek), and my colleagues at tomorrow's PyWeek community call (on discord).
• Polish / refactor the code. Some of it is a bit slap-dash as I'm spiking. Nevertheless it's still < 360 lines of Python (including comments).

Spent most of the day implementing the gameplay mechanics.
No specific camera-deadzone logic set-up alongside parallax (yet) but the current set-up does the job.
Also made some basic dialogue boxes.
For anyone wondering, the fonts I'm using are Disket Mono and Iceberg.

I'm really happy with the progress I've made. I went for a pretty simple concept since what little programming skills I have are very rusty, and I've pretty much got all the mechanics I planned for in the game now. I got to a point on Monday where I was finally spending more time coding than looking up how to do things, and things have come together really fast since then.

Today I made my title screen nicer. I already figured out how to do scrolling clouds for the level, so it wasn't hard to stick some scrolling clouds on the title screen and make a giant bobbing ducky. I also added some music to the game and made it keep track of the player's high score. It's feeling like an actual game!

I'm also having fun adding little things in the background. I'm trying to lean into weird and surreal. I know my game mechanics aren't too innovative (but I do think they're fun!), so I'm trying to make up for that by piling on loads of personality. I'm mostly here to learn, but I want to make people smile in the process.

From here on out, it's mostly polish. Unless I think of a feature I need to add in the shower tomorrow. :D

Changed up the game concept a bit today and also updated the graphics. Having a lot of fun!

There are some great looking games so far - I can't wait to play everyone's game!!

Hey everyone,

We've been pretty quiet until now, but we wanted to share a quick update!

We really liked the theme but got a bit carried away during planning. We're now working on a 1v1 online sword-fighting game. The basic netcode and game logic are in place, and we're currently adding a blocking mechanic and a secondary attack.

This has been an exciting project for us as we're implementing the netcode from scratch. It's been a lot of fun so far! 😊

Attached is a screenshot of a very WIP state—stay tuned!

Sound can make unrealistic scenes feel real.

Made more assets, including sounds.
In detail, created different actions of the character, a quick game logo and some decent soundtrack by sampling a literal faucet and some vocals.

Also in free time, created some attempts of parallaxing (a method to make backgrounds looks a little realistic).

Here are the two soundtracks:-
1. Nagure's Theme
2. Nagure's Boss Fight Theme

And a recording of parallaxing:- Parallax
