So...we are pretty stuck on the theme, and just moving on to make random and worry about theme later. I made an orbiting rope thingy that can be tossed away with an input. Our idea isn't solid but we are currently thinking this could become some kind of delivery game where you need to time tossing at houses around the screen edge. It is late and we are kind of burned out for the day so this is just where we are now.
It's 4am here and I've been asleep since long before the theme reveal 馃槀
I'm going to have maybe 4 hours total over the next few days for working on this, so my scope has to be pretty small. I'm thinking of remaking my first LD game from six years ago - I've improved so much since then, it'll be interesting to see if I can improve it! I have a few ideas for improvements, and I think I'll be able to make a few simple enemies work too.
Joined forces with my friend @rsr-studios. This is our first team entry and hopefully we manage to finish something that is fun to play!
Sea kelp can be collected and thrown. If you collect a lot it gets bundled up and it weighs you down, so you can toss it around and pick it up later. Oh, and it's sticky!
it took me a bit to get an idea going, but main mechanics are in place, just building out a level now :smile:
how are you doing?
Just need to add the rest of the mechanics and maybe some more variety if i have time then I'm done! Also how popular is python in these jams?
My game is a platformer where you must get past obstacles while the lava rises, shrinking the playable space.
Things have been going really smoothly so far. I'm hoping to have the "Minimum Viable Game" finished tonight, or at least close to finished. After that, I'll focus on additional content and polishing.

OK super excited for this one. Really need to do a jam. Gonna see how far I can get things.
So after some brainstorming with my friend @icaro-niz and struggling with my Blender installation, we finally have some basic models and level design. We also made good progress on setting up the code repo, ready for TDD and CI/CD with auto-deployments to itch.io by commits.
Haha this was definitely not our favorite theme... but that is part of the fun!
Im in! Totally unprepared. Dont know what tools to use and I have no idea about what to do.
Tonight I've just gotten started on my game. Never done LD before, excited to give it a try!
Considered a bunch of ideas but settled on a stealth game about stowing away in some sort of cargo ship or delivery truck and having to hide from people when they're loading/unloading stuff.
One loading person (brown rectangle) walking back and forth and one player (pink rectangle) moving around in response to keyboard/gamepad controls! Tomorrow it's time for all the game bits!
Moving from my usual side scroll comfort to first person 3d is quite the challenge.
Ok, i decided to pivot to Godot 4 because.. thinking of limited space made me think of watching the garbage trucks navigating my neighborhood and how they manage not to mash up all the cars.. so why not!
Quick mockup in Godot 4.. good enough for first night. Next up will be making camera work right, add some lovely flopping garbage lids, music, custom assets, car alarms, houses and such..... whew.. we'll see how far i get :grimacing:
Working title: TIS-8829
Basic layout, code parsing and error checking, output validation complete. Next up: evaluation and debugging tools!
... is very tricky to come up with any ideas I would be happy with! Panic!
I am going to make a scuba diving/submarine management style game for this jam. So far I have a character and an idea. Fortunately I actually have time to finish this jam...maybe
