I wanted do something different for LD48, so I set up a full mocap studio in my living room. I'm using IPIsoft mocap software with 6 PS3 Eye cameras.

I finished setting up the cameras just before the compo started, so I didn't have time to really test it out. This type of mocap can work really well but it requires ideal conditions. I'm not sure if my living room has enough space or light, but hopefully it'll be just good enough to produce some usable and only slightly janky animations.

I'm also going to try and make some 3D scanned assets (Iphone 12 LIDAR) because why not.

I probably won't have time to make much of a game since I'll be spending so much time making and polishing mocap data but I think it's worth a shot for the challenge alone.

Having done a couple Jams now as a composer+developer, I'm taking a crack at the compo this time around. Unfortunately, that means I'm going to have to make art and design levels.

Got my mockup+game concept done last night, so now it's full steam ahead making basic sprites and actually building a game.

for now

Things are gaining momentum with the game, some very early gameplay running into from the title screen

After some hours, movement is done and now up to level creation.

Good luck everyone.

Ok so, after reflexions I have choisen an idea. Player will control a spaceship that can explore space, ocean and planets. I have a base of code in Lua and Love2D. Next step : search graphics into the deep of Internet :-)

For create fun, I'm going to create a lot of constraints and a goal to reach.

Perhaps this will help me =-) https://deep-fold.itch.io/pixel-planet-generator

I think I have my take on the theme, a caravan into the desert :)

(almost)

Had a somewhat unoriginal idea, but thought I'd learn to use MagicaVoxel this morning - very easy and fun :v: . May or may not be able to finish my game idea. A cavern explorer thing, using ropes to get around? Enemies to avoid, relics to collect. Stones to pull/move etc.

Not much yet, though. It's gonna be a long day. Hope you're all still fresh!

...but there are still many things left to do. Though we're happy with our pace so far :laughing:

Not sure if this is good progress, or I just like post processing

i need to add more stuff but I'm going to start moldeing stuff

currently working on a platformer game for the gameboy/gameboy color.

Nearly 12 hours in and while I'm not as far on as I wanted to be I do almost have an actual working game. Just about got all the mechanics in place at least for player and enemy movement. That mainly leaves damage/attack mechanics, and then level gen, and player goal/win state.
