In this game, lil’ boy need to avoid getting GROUNDED and escape the supermarket where he’s injustly blamed for some mischief, avoiding the guardians in a MetalGear (’87) – style sneaky way.

14h spent so far, mainly on programming. I’m using Pygame (programming), Gimp (graphics), SFRX, Audacity (sfx), ZynAddSubFX (virtual keyboard).  The OS is GNU/Linux.

Trying to get with something playable for the miniLD over the standard 48h week-end delay – but I couldn’t turn down an invitation on saturday night 😉

So far I have a basic scale2x top-view with scrolling (fixed-rated logic&render), tiled background, moving sprites, turbo-mode (FPS*3), the very beginning of a built-in background editor, and code is still maintainable 😉 Also there’s a psychedelic “drunk-mode” effect (drink to build-up courage, but lose your balance!).

I had spent a few days on learning Blender recently but for now I’ll still have to make do with my limited Gimp skills.

Oh, and I have some recorded screams for lil’ brothers from years ago. That breaks the “no prior art” rule but that complies with the “collaborate with a n00b” one 😛
