So, 21 hours into LD18 and here is what I have to show for it:

Who ever said Java had poor framerates?

It may not look like much, but that is the start of a game.

I have functioning:

• Sprite sheets and animations.
• Action system and input bindings for actions.  This also ties to the animation system.
• Attaching/removing actions for objects.  This lets me switch controls to different objects when the player mind controls an enemy.
• Camera follow attachment.  This lets me focus the camera on any object.
• Mouse aim / character rotation.

Major things left to do:

• Tile map loading.
• Collision detection.
• Enemy AI.

Hopefully I can get something playable in the next 12 hours.
