so i made a progress video of my game so far. i only made two levels, but i plan to add three more levels and two other screens, like beginning the game and ending it. soon enough i’ll post a more “formal” version of my work thus far. cheers!
I had some trouble focusing today and did some really(!) bad programming, so I decided to finish the day with at least some animations for my vikings.
Lots of vikings with nothing to do but killing other vikings right now.
But lets be honest, that’s what you would expect from a viking, right?. Hopefully I’ll be better tomorrow 
Hope you are all having fun!
Don’t forget to create backups of your work so far!
Right now its all just shapes but the overall mechanics are starting to take shape, more info on day 2.
Well, a progress report on day two.
I’m not doing so hot. My Smoking Mirror engine is still too incomplete. I wanted to make a physics game with a physics engine I had no experience with, and I wasted a lot of time trying to make that work.
Moving on to the plan B. To give an idea of what it will involve:
The game is looking quite great, and now it actually feels a little Luftrauser-like. Not that it is bad, but… well I wasn’t shooting for innovation this time. (<- tomorrow I’ll add THE MECHANIC if I have time).
I have the base of the my game done. The plan for tomorrow is to start with some level design
A simple game where you play a character with a remote control that can shapeshift objects.
Good Night!
Flexbox and media queries for screen resolution makes mobile support possible. No point prediction yet, but it’s getting there. Not sure if the menu pane should be on the left or on the right, though.
So far; Spawners that spawn enemies that chase and can kill the player on collision.
Also the player switches between ‘flight’ and ‘fight’ modes and can kill them right back! And all with basically nil graphics!
Ah, well. First timer etc 😉

Quick update…
taking a short break from spinning in circles as I traverse a particle collider at uncanny speeds, prototype almost done. Artist has other plans so no real art until tomorrow 
I know, its a long name
I’m having some serious trouble with this… I wanna build this game but it feels so difficult. How do you keep motivated and how do you have fun even when your frustrated? Excited to hear what everyone thinks. Thanks!
Today I managed to give up and try again. I finished games base mechanics, a test level and a menu. Tomorrow I will work on a tutorial level, add more levels, music and add finishing touches. I would join the jam, but I have school on Monday, so it has no point to join jam.
And here the first minutes of the end of the first day. The engine is globally finnished . The goal is to navigate into a level composed of platforms , however, some platforms are accessible only in certain forms of mutations ( Spider, Golem , Invisible , Flammèche ) ; So I have these four changes of programmed states is the color change that we can see. Ex : Purple property is for the spider metamorphosis that can climb on walls. The graphics are very basics but tomorrow I'll work on it. There are already some background music that I composed with beepbox . The next in new episode episode . Now I 'm going to rest ... Good luck everyone and good night!!!
After some hours I’ve been able to complete a very first prototype with the basic gameplay working and end condition. You have to survive by being in a safe (black) place because every few seconds the background map will come to foreground, be sure to move to a good (black) position.
I think this time I will work less hours, now it’s 23:36 here and after playing a little bit I’ll go to bed. I prefer to wake up early and continue adding the HUD, sounds and other effects.

I appear to have made an infinite loop with my spawner. If anyone knows GM:S, I could use a little help. Here is my Object Info:
Information about object: obj_spawner
Sprite:execute code:
randomize()
wolf = irandom_range(1,10)
people = irandom_range(1,20)
if (!object_exists(obj_player)){
instance_create(x,y,obj_player)
}
Step Event:
execute code:
do
{
wolf -= 1
were = instance_create(x,y,obj_werewolf)
were.x = (irandom(1920))
were.y = (irandom(1080))
}
until (wolf =0);
do
{
people -= 1
ppl = instance_create(x,y,obj_person)
ppl.x = (irandom(1920))
ppl.y = (irandom(1080))
}
until (people = 0);
Ready for bed, but I’ve moslty just loose pieces to be assembled tomorrow.
I don’t mind
Did programming first last year (for LD#32), and then art … that became a frantic mess towards the end to get some, any art ready.
Not this year. (But I still didn’t have my pipeline or basecode ready dangit…)
The results of todays work are … satisfactory.
Here is the art I’m most proud of, it may not look like much to the trained (or, errr, untrained really) eye, but it’s a step up from last time for sure!
Update after few hours.
I had a lot of ideas for the theme, and tested a few.
changed my mind after realize that most of them was crap.
Now I came up with a kind of hide’n’seek, inspired by gary’s mod.
Basically, you need to search for others which are shapeshifted into objects in the room.
Don’t know if the game will be fun at end.
But I really liked the idea.
