ANY TEAMS GOT ROOM FOR A CHEEKY WRITER?

Hello, folks! My name is isaac. I’m a Game Writer and Narrative Designer.

I've been making games for about a year. love collaborating and building worlds, characters, and scenarios. I'm very active on Discord and have two mentors. I'm not a programmer or an artist but I like to think I have a discerning taste as regards design, visuals, and audio.

My website http://jisaacgadient.com features a Sci-Fi short story about gamedev.

Our team is fully prepared for this challenge! We are already diving into discussions and generating ideas for our game.💡

Each of us brings our own unique skills and creativity, and we are sure that we will be able to create something really interesting and beautiful! 💪✨

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THESE THE PAST FEW WEEKS WHAT A GREAT WAY TO RELIVE MY NIGHTMARE

Ok the flag sort of morfed into some long hair for the leader. I have him spawning men (minions? Dwarfs?)

I think it will be some sort of smurph themed dune/pikmin thing? It's definitely coming along.

I'm throwing out the old (terrible) collision system that depended on the chip-8's xor sprite drawing and am going to use hit spheres (er boxes but with the taxi cab norm. I think that works anyway it's been a few years since I did linear algebra.)

If you're having trouble generating those pesky ideas, I would recommend a documentary. The one I used to find my game idea was Kurtzgazate in a nutshell's (probably spelled wrong) video on ants.

That is my Creature

Started using midjourney to create some images of tiny creatures.

Used Meshy.ai to turn that image into a 3d model for the game.

Will make game where you play as a little bug-like creature in a world of bug-like creatures who is helping to make big woods-y moss-y circuit boards for a new "electrical grid". You place down "circuit board pieces" like puzzle game then have to wriggle in the spaces between to lay down "copper-stuff" for "electricity stuff". But as mechanisms come on line, there are hazards.... how good can you be?

Work flow plan

Day 1: Make all basic mechanics and "rough" game flow. Draw out ideas, characters, world building. Figure out rest of plan and get in "the basics"

Day 2: Refine the game, get it basically "done enough" and get to polishing and improving.

Day 3: Lock it down and get it all ready to go. Finish early for time for extra bug testing and polish!

got some ideas and an early creature design

I made a new project, due to some personal problems i had been running a sole unity editor from a usb stick. turns out that old project run fine, new projects didnt even have UI as an option ;-;

But yall be careful im finally in the race now! :D

I haven't taken part in a good game jam in a few years and I think it's high time I got back into it!

Bonus pic of my setup:

Hi, we just started the concept design for the game, and came to the concept of a green little boy

It's been a few years since I last took part in a game jam, so I'm excited to get started!

Bonus pic of my setup:

Excited to see everyone's stuff! Gotta churn through all my ideas for this theme in a jiffy to decide on something lol

This is perfect. I've had something in mind that almost any of the themes could work for, and Tiny Creatures gets voted in. Even Echo would have worked to a degree.

So, the theme's out, and it caught me a bit off-guard.

But as always, I worked out the theme and integrated it to the original idea for Lily Adventuresses! Episode 2, which involves a military woman forming a bond with a sentient being in order to wield a sacred weapon. This is mainly due to the influence of Ultraman Arc, which I'm watching every week.

And here's the title screen of the game I'm making.

Now to explain the title. "Arcritter" is the combination of "arc" and "Ritter" (the German word for "knight"). It also contains the word "critter", which is analogous to "tiny creatures". The four main characters in this game are pacted to sentient beings called Arcreatures, which usually take the form of ordinary animals such as cats and dogs. These Arcreatures can then transform into sentient weapons to aid the Arcritters in combat.

And now I'm gonna write the story on this lovely morning.

Tbh I didn't really like the theme, but after seeing someone here talk about making a game Abt a snail, it reminded me of that Undertale minigame. I think it'd be interesting to recreate that. While I like how you can't spam to win, and how the snails combusts lol, I feel id have to put my own spin, mostly bc the minigame is a little bit annoying to win lmao.
