New Title and Splashscreen : Wednesday's Tiny Creatures

My grandchild visited to record some audio effects. She is scared of spiders and she asked me if I could make Wednesday.

So of course I obliged and this game is now called ' Wednesday's Tiny Creatures '

Bees follow the path

But my naive method to draw the path cause big performance issue. New stuff to add to my todolist.

finally making progress

Okay, so I'm working on a visual novel. And everything was fine. Story is almost finished. Sketched a lot. And then I started working with Ren'Py and ... it didn't work the way I wanted it to.

I don't want to use the usual menu statement for making choices. Instead, I want my creatures to hide one of the choices (it makes sense in context).

But it just wouldn't work.

I spent an absolutely embarrassing amount of time on this. And the solution is hilariously easy. No, seriously.

I want to scream.

Oozemancy

Half of the day was spent arguing and fighting over the Brainstorm, time to start an actual gamedev :P

We decided to make a VR game about an Oozemancer trying to retrieve the Slimeonomicon from the Tomb Of Giants. Your weapon of choice are going to be the swarms of these cute little slime creatures that stick to surfaces and to each other. So you can pass the bridges by slapping a bunch of tiny slimes into as big Slimy Bridge, stick them to the wall to climb up, throw them at enemies, etc. image.png

What is your tiny creature?

What tiny creature(s) did you go for? Is it an existing creature? An animal or something else?

We went full potato who gets help from animals :stuckouttonguewinkingeye:

Follow @burchyn and @gm3l on this site. They are the super team I’m working with :smiley:

Done for today!

I have the main character and scenes. I will surely be done by tomorrow… at leat I hope so…

Starting to Get Somewhere

I've got most of the simple stuff done. There's slightly better graphics and now players can select---or tab through---the different creatures. The creature information appears on the far right. It was fun making the random name generator and genetic quality description. The color of the gene status field changes with gene rarity.

Things are brewing

Been a while since i've made a devlog post here, but wanted to share a little sneakpeak of the progress so far :eyes: Happy jamming everyone!

If you are a giant, normal people become Tiny Creatures

My prototype is slowly taking shape. This time I've decided to program first and then worry about graphics. I'm slowly becoming satisfied with my fully procedurally generated city.
