progress for my drilling game

It took a while since it's my first time, but it was worth it

Digging works! twitch.com/nosferathoo

Our first cut scene. Hope you like it)

I've just created a new project in gamemaker now. Got an idea of where I'm headed.

It's actually very similar to the project that I was going to make for the last ludum dare, and will share the same name. It's fairly pared back in scope though, so hopefully I'll actually end up with a finished product this time instead of a mostly empty project file.

Onwards and downwards! Let's get coding.

Woke up 2 hours ago and finally decided on a game idea :D The idea being a physics game where you roll down a hill and try to get as far as possible into the valley with different geometric objects

This is my second LD and first time soloing Also I'm not absolutely hyped about my idea, but it's definitely going to be fun to make I currently plan to use the bevy engine, but since I never built a full game with it I might switch to Godot, if I don't see this working in a few hours

Way behind, as usual! :v:

We should reconsider the mechanics hahaha

I've made a movie with a bit of a gameplay, if you'd like to check it out: https://twitter.com/missphysics93/status/1385923355300216835

I have so much on my plate this weekend but I really like the theme and want to get in on it. Thinking I can hopefully set aside a few hours today and maybe half the day tomorrow.

Running idea is an idle clicker game that deals with mining. Buy better tools to dig deeper, stats on tools to find better things as you dig, etc...

Idle game seems like it would be an easy way to go but I suspect I'm biting off more than I can chew. Time to start chopping things off the feature list.

I cant work in this conditions /o\

Well idk about the name of the game Deeper and deeper sounds kinda suggestive :smirk: so imma name it Fearless or something edgy like that :sweat_smile: .. I just yeeted some assets from the asset store now gotta work at game mechanics and all the cool stuff.. This is my second gamejam, happy to be sleep deprived for three days straight

So i was brainstorming quite a while, till i finaly typed deeper into google to get some fresh ideas.

I found that there is a Sonar Fishing System called "Deeper".

Now i´m trying to make a game where u fish "Deeper" and deeper! x)

Lets see how good i can deliver x.x

...and I've slept the first 9 of those!

Me (the keyboard masher) and @MrDinosaur (the paintbrush fondler) have started brainstorming our project. Still early days but we have a decent idea of what we want to do. A card diggy explore thingamabob.

We're trying to keep the scope relatively small in compared to previous entries.

Time for lunch!

3 hours in, I finally have something... Most of it was wasted on trying to get the camera bobbing to work 😅

Were gonna fix this but when your rocks glow you've got a problem 😂
