After nearly 18 hours, I finally have something to show.Sadly my pixel skills have gotten a little rusty (well, they were always pretty bad), but progress is progress.

This is a shot from my entry, currently called “Ineptia”. You play a robot who must look after a ship containing habitats from a dying planet. The ship has been invaded, and it’s up to you to protect the animals and destroy the invaders.

Rather than direct movement, you give your robot commands and then he carries them out. So far you can only move forwards, but by the end of the day there will be a full range of movement (and hopefully some enemies).

The plan is to get full player & enemy movement done today, so tomorrow I can concentrate on adding missions and a more fleshed out story. If I get time I’ll replace the awful gfx too

And don’t forget, I’m streaming text/screens from my site: http://lab.sodaware.net/game-jams/ld-23/
