This morning we tallied up our total game dev experience: ~6 months, between 5 people, and I think at least a few weeks for all of us was just installing Unity + tools ;-).

So we've been trying to keep our expectations low! But I think we're pretty happy with the end of day 1:

• basic maze defined, plus art style
• maze building blocks starting to be modeled
• basic player + first weapon coded
• imported a temp maze of walls from blender
• finally got collision working properly (HORAY)
  • Turns out: most beginner tutorials for unity will set the transform location directly. Add a few things and no tweaking of continuous collision detection, tweaking the physics settings for depenetration & fixed timer worked. Even using rigidbody.moveto still glitched. Solution (for us) was to only use rigidbody forces in fixedUpdate + continuous collision detection on the player. Amazing how big a difference it feels when walls are completely solid, and no "peak-throughs" happen. Downside is that the movement controls don't feel the same. Hopefully we can tweak it to something acceptable
• we got git + LFS working
  • Lesson learnt: fully finish installing and testing your gitea install BEFORE jam starts ;-)

We're looking forward to continuing tomorrow- but we're pretty sure we'll be making a casual entry in 3 weeks.

Time for rest- good luck everyone with day two!
