After just a day, this local game dev team managed to paint some rabbit characters and backgrounds, integrate the great Dialogic Addon and set their basic systems up - even including a notebook for the collected stories!

Soon you'll be able to help this working rabbit student adventure trough the world of local journalism, carefully filling the limited space of the newspaper page. 馃悋馃摑
This was my first time entering in a LD, and excited to be doing so! Unfortunately I'm traveling tomorrow, so figured I would just go for a miniproject. Here it is, Shaped! Made in about 4 hours.
You're a cube whose only goal is to not fall into lava - a noble goal, indeed. Grow and fit through the holes in walls that are out to get you and see how long you can last!
If you give it a go, let me know what you think! I'm not able to get past level 20. :sweat_smile:

Super tired after the first day. 馃槾
Current state: 80% of the gameplay loop done, still much work left for tomorrow. 馃槄
So, we made a shooter!
Legendary Doomguy is about shooting demons to create more platforms which eventually crumble into the lava!
So far we have two enemies, one which pathfinds, another that flies wierdly overhead. We got all the shootin and double jumping in, as well as the crumbling platforms. Tomorrow we go for more environment, platforms rising when you kill enemies, as well as death and respawn!
Screenshot from the hell the is, Legendary Doomguy!
this was day one - i'm making a small puzzle game where you rotate an interface loaded with differently functioning items around a central playing field. the sprites are 5x5 px; the playing field is 5x5 cells; keeping with the theme of limited space.
two days to go!
The hares get nervous when they are not on a square that they can camouflage with, and when they are nervous they can't move. Fortunately, they have their friends to rescue them.

Took muuuuuch too long but, with the help of some friendly folks on the Godot Discord, I finally have my carrying working.
For those struggling with the same thing I did, to set the position of a RigidBody2D from code, there are 2 ways:
python
rb2d.set_global_position(newPos)
rb2d.move_and_collide(Vector2.ZERO) # update physics
_integrate_forces(state):python
state.transform.origin = newPos
The proof of the pudding is in the carrying it overhead!

HTH!
Finishing early with hopes of an early (and earlier) start tomorrow. GL all!
24 HOURS REMAIN
The good thing about my game having such basic gameplay is that it's shaping enough to have some of my most detailed, intricate cutscene work ever. The bad thing is that there's a lot of scope for this to go badly wrong, or at least force me to run into the Jam period. But we'll see.
I'm gonna head off to bed shortly, to make sure I don't run myself into the ground, and tomorrow I'll get those cutscenes finished up and get to polishing.
So, we're working on our find-the-safe-spot game. So far we've done the level generation, as well as the core gameplay. Planning to polish tomorrow, and probably add more content?...
As you may know, we're doing a different jam this year: we're remaking our LD46's game! Here's the current progress so far, at the end of day one!
You can see, there's still progress to do, and to fix proportions, but we tried to renew game's UI (still WIP).

Deciding to make a NES-game (limited space in more than theme) has turned out to be so much fun!
For me working with the graphics, it's been an amazingly enjoyable challenge to stay within the constraints (limited amount of sprites, only three colours at a time, etc).
I'm now getting close to the finish-line with the BG tiles for the CHR-banks and decided to sort out the tiling for the loading and start-menu of our game!
Here are our menus:

A lot of backend stuff done, not a lot of gameplay. We'll see if I can finish it tomorrow.
Phew, 14+ hours of gamedev done!
As a spontaneously assembled team of a Developer, Tech Artist and a 3D Artist, we wanted to do something dynamic and action based this time. Two ideas emerged victorious from the brainstorm:
1) Boss battle where it cuts the space available to the player
2) Pitch dark labyrinth that only lights up a bit during player's and monsters attacks We decided to combine them together in a Light based boss battle - meaning that the player's visible Space is severely Limited, forcing them to focus on brief flashes of light during the attacks to figure out Boss location and intention.
"Deep sea" emerged as a natural theme for the Darkness/Light gameplay mechanic:
Woo, Kobolds be sending packages your way. Note: Kobold is not responsible for damaged goods. Make sure you pack stuff correctly for kobolds magical fast shipping action!
