Uninvited tiny creatures? Let's shed some light on the situation.

I'll need sound effects

20241005_203629.jpg Not sure why I'm doing that. I'm sad no fly came in my flat despite my windows open all day. I didn't found bees while my break walking in a park. But I tried to imitate a bee woth the mouth and it's not that bad ! Probably will be the fallback solution.

Today on 'Chef Ogron Gramsay's Recipes' : Hobbit edition

"Ah, roasted hobbit foot, a true delicacy! Crispy skin, tender meat, and those little hairs that lock in all the juice… Mmm, pure bliss. Marinated in herbs and roasted to perfection, it's the dish that takes any meal from simple feast to culinary masterpiece. If you haven’t tried a good hobbit foot yet, you don’t know what you're missing! Crunchy, tender… simply divine."

Progress Update #1

What a strange little creature, I sure hope there's not a ton of them and that they're not super talkative.

We're in, and I've additional restrictions on myself!

I promised myself this jam that I wouldn't go too hard. I have a tendency to work long hours without enough breaks, and stay up far later than I should. That's normal, but nowadays when my day job as gameplay programmer demands more and more of my energy, it's no longer something I can keep up! I feel so oooold.

The other restriction I promised myself was that I would not make a game with combat. I love action combat games, but they take a lot of manpower and I'm one programmer. Smartwilliam is helping me out as always, but we'd both agreed we'd try to make something more story-based and simple this time round.

We're going with a game about a man who keeps fireflies to light his way, and scare off the shadows that lurk:

Curses, Imgur embeds still don't work!

Progress so far

Day one is over. 90% done, 90% remaining, as usual :)

Good night and good luck.

whoops...

welp... I just realized my "gameplay" is incredibly boring and got no idea how to amend that besides adding an addicting minigame to my game... besides that I scrapped the menu together so yippee (still need a title and more assets for it)

The flea

So nat'ralists observe: the flea

Hath smaller fleas that on him prey

And these have smaller fleas to bite 'em

And so proceed, ad infinitum.

Inktober x LD56

I've been thinking about combining my efforts for Inktober and Ld56 since I'd love to take part in both challenges.

So here is my little shader with a skybox for my game Screenshot 2024-10-05 222406.png

Little Guys!

I can confirm that these are little guys and they're falling from the pipe

Day 1 progress

I made a couple of models, and also implemented several mechanics. Overall, I'm pleased with today. And yeah, you can buy a frog and other TINY creatures from the vending machine.
