So here I am, desperately seeking approval of the internet, and I don’t have a camera. How can I post pictures of myself on 4chan or show you guys what food I eat during LD if I don’t have a camera? I can’t, that’s how. So what do I do? I make really shitty stuff in GIMP and hope it’s about the same.
(The hotdog isn’t actually that big in relation to my head, I’m just behind it.)
And with just twenty-two hours till the deadline, what have I accomplished?
Moving, riding in robots, and shooting. Still to do: obstacles, at least one other kind of robot, some sort of interface for HP and whatever, and lots of other stuff.
If anyone’s curious about the idea for the game, then it’s this: the world has been overrun by robots, and you just happen to be able to hack into them and turn them over to your side and ride in them. Before going back above ground you managed to broadcast a global “no kill” beacon to all the robots so they won’t kill humans anymore (that is, they won’t kill what’s left of them), but they’ll still consider any robot who doesn’t appear to be on their side (a remnant from the initial defense measures, trying to kill robots with robots). So you can walk around all the giant robots freely, but as soon as you get into one, they’ll all start trying to attack you. The goal is to kill all the robots (or stop them from being hostile). For the compo, the best I can see myself doing is having just fighter robots in a city that you have to go turn against each other or control against other robots, but I might manage to get some more stuff in for the jam part of the event (I want to have about five different kinds of “robots,” with the abilities of each to essentially allow for basic base-building). Fighter-bots, fuel-tanker-bots, turret-bots, electric fences, and builder-bots (for moving the three non-fighter bots).
So now Imma go code some more and hope I manage to get something presentable (or at least close) by the deadline.
nother!
