Pre-LD40 Warmups

In order to get into the right mindset for the jam, I wanted to do some warmups.

Warmup #1

It started off weird, as I am our team's graphics guy and I began by coding a little D&D-inspired combat encounter in Twine 2. (I'm not very good at coding, so this took a good few hours.)

You can play it here.

Warmup #2

Then, this morning, I decided I should get back to what I will actually be doing, and mocked up a little dungeon tile sheet starting with the pico-8 palette. I of course have no idea what kind of game we'll end up making, but an RPG/Roguelike style tilesheet felt like fun.

Warmup #3

After this I figured it was animation time, and thus a running alley cat appeared. I always forget just how long it takes to animate things. :smile: I'll have to remember to not overdo it on the number of frames for the jam.

Now I'll just need to get the team together for a refresher-course in our GitHub workflow and we're all set to get jamming!
