Genuine Earthmen - Day #1

It's 1:07am as I begin writing this blog post, and I feel we got some good progress done today. We started our brainstorm this morning, ending up with about 15 ideas of varying quality. Objectively reviewing them yielded two concepts that were realistic for a weekend jam, and then we chose the one we clearly liked best.

I present to you, Unnamed LD39 Game. Err... Yeah, that will change.

That's a still image because I figured I'd get the bulk of the still sprites done today. Tomorrow I will begin animating things. Then gifs may follow. :grin:

@daanvanyperen has been doing the programming work that resulted in our project already having a jumping player character, a large robot that follows her, and batteries that open doors. Altogether quite functional already.

@meatmachine already wrote a few themes for different stages in the game and has whipped up some sound effects, as well as documenting guidelines for the levels of the game.

For now, however, I will sleep. Goodnight, jammers! :alien:
