Going deep...into the sea

After brainstorming a few ideas, and thinking of what I wanted to accomplish, I decided to go with a deep dive into the ocean. I don't know how far I can dive yet, but I already have some amazing visuals to go with the game play loop I have in mind. playerdeep.gif

The Little Dude is ready to solve some puzzles. Hnet.com-image (2).gif

going deep into space

Im hoping entering the compo with a space about exploring wormhole space and going deeper and deeper into the network to find the good loot.

First Show

So I finished some decorations and characterScreenshot 2021-04-24 084238.png :smiley:

Sleeping Is Fine

Probably going to run out of energy and crash any minute now, so I thought I would share a few screensnips of random stuff I've done:

Here we have me doing all of the boring basic stuff that you should always do, like making an app ID for desktop exports and making a few little visual changes. Enhanced quality of downscaled objects makes the device work a little bit harder but I'm sure no one will have performance issues.

My Ludum Dare rule: always make a custom font! This time it's somewhere between "handdrawn" and "creepy". I love SpriteFonts

Custom Fonts, Yay.png

For important game graphics like the custom mouse image and the currently nonexistent player, I use Construct 3's animator, but here you can see that for less important graphics I'm using my own art drawing app. I updated it today to make sure it would be good enough for LD48 😮💡

A Redrawing Of My Logo.png

(Yep, I'm even redrawing my own logo and rerecording my opening theme because this is the Compo)

Hopefully I'll have some better images tomorrow! (Errr..... technically today, just in several hours) Not only am I using my own drawing app, but I also made a music app from scratch today (ended up losing half an hour of Compo time making it, but at least it let me think about my game). The music app is designed for the completely redone version of my LD47 game, so naturally I thought "what a better way to test it out than Ludum Dare?".

Remember to sleep, everyone! Tired brains can't get anything done, it's better to sleep, even if just for a few hours. Sleeping for a normal amount of time could make you miss some valuable LD48 time, whereas getting a little bit of sleep reenergizes you while taking up less time.

Good luck, fellow Jammers!

Only took 6 hours

The compo and jam began 6 hours ago and I just now finally brainstormed an idea. Let's pray I can finish in time.

Time to get going!

I just woke up to a nice theme, so it's time to get to work! Cold leftover pizza and cofee is imo the best breakfast I can have :heart:

My teamate is not up yet but I'll start writing down some ideas.

2 Hours of work

This is our 2 hours of progress. In group of 2 people. Probably this will be some kind of mining game.

Made using LibGDX and Java. Bez názvu.png

I'm in !

Hello, i'm in. Theme is so cool !

Can't Stop

Finished basic movement in the boat. Next, I'll dive into adding underwater swimming!

My only dilemma is whether or not to add subtle water waves before I go to bed. :dizzy_face:

Here we start!

With a few hours of delay, I woke up and I am ready to begin this!

Unfortunately all the ideas that came to my mind are NSFW 😂

What a Theme!

To be honest, I wanted to be provocative this time, but with this theme it is impossible for me to come up with anything even remotely inappropriate. No double entendre whatsoever as far as I can tell.
