Diary Entries
Day 1 - Downstream
The theme inspired me right away as it reminded me of a recurring dream I had a few years ago while working on a particular engineering task at work.
I spent most of today planning out the game and how I will approach incremental development (so I have something to ship if my more complex game ideas don’t work out). While I plan to mostly use the free resources I bookmarked today for the artwork, I’m also going to make an attempt at some of the art myself
Looking forward to playing all the games!
Day 2
Day 3
There are some great looking games so far - I can't wait to play everyone's game!!
Day 4
Today I implemented a menu system, some music ideas, and made the game system a little more complex (still very simple). I think I will gave more than enough time to play around with some other features like an easter egg meta game and also some cut scenes and artwork for that. This whole process is inspiring lots of ideas and solutions for other bigger projects which I am now looking forward to even more.
I have been enjoying reading everyone's diary entries and looking forward to playing all the games!
Day 5
The game I planned to make is very simple, and I've basically completed it and played with a bunch of tools / libraries so i count it as a success. If I work more on the project before submitting I will maybe add a metagame and some more fun cutscenes. Also just testing, testing and making sure the packages work on all the os
Good luck finishing to all the teams!
Day 6
Thank you to everyone who plays + reviews the game!
