Basically, I was lying awake after the theme had been announced, and as I was drifting off to sleep, I thought, just because the game must take place on one screen doesn’t mean it needs to be a static screen. So my idea is a topdown RPGesque game where the playing field evolves as you play.

I spent my day before I was gone working on stone and grass textures, but I have to leave the roof texture as-is so I can get on to the gameplay. Unfortunately, Game Maker’s room editor is not up to what I need, so I have to make my own room editor. We’ll see if I can get that done in time… Regardless, whether I do or don’t make an entry, I want to think the LD community for letting me get more experience in Game Maker: Studio and game design in general. Best of luck to all of us!
