Isaac<\/a>\u00a0and I found out the theme, we spent the first hour or so laying out all the ground rules. We brainstormed, adjusted scope, and got right down to it!<\/p>\n Since Isaac is basically a machine, he cranked out the basics of how the game should work in about 4 hours, and it works marvelously. I’m in the midst of doing some spriting for various interactables (rocks, dirt, and soon to be fossils!).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our game, Prehistoric Kerfuffle, is about quick, fun, and easy to pick up gameplay centered around digging up fossils. You have to use tools like a brush to sweep away dirt, and a chisel to break down rocks, in order to get them sweet sweet fossils! You’ve only got a limited amount of time, so you have to be fast and precise!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once your time has run up, you can then take 4 fossils and fixate them to your character. Each fossil provides stats, aesthetic changes, and moves. From there, its time to battle!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Battles are carried out in a pokemon-esque fashion. We hope that everything continues to go smoothly \ud83d\ude00 And we’ll get some screen shots as soon as we can!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Good luck to everyone else on the rest of the jam!<\/p>","time":"April 26th, 2014 1:04 am","title":"Prehistoric Kerfuffle!"}
