Hi! After a long debate we choose "a house" to represent our world, based on Julio Cortazar novel "House Taken", this world it's getting smaller and smaller by a unknown presence, maybe fears, maybe something in our minds. Run! Save your life, leave your small world behind. Updating progress soon!
Wow, the digging mechanics took a lot longer than I thought. Next up: digging obstacles and treasure.
Graphics are still placeholders, animations completely missing, but I’ll get there.
I finally got a start of game, with an Game Over. Yeay !
My code is pretty terrible, but at least it works ahah ! Please let me know what you think :)
Here's a video to show a bit of the progress. Assets coming soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CayDUaBfpWk&feature=youtu.be
No gameplay yet, but I need a player right?

I swear it's a fighter jet. It's supposed to be a toy fighter jet. You know, like the cheapo ones you can find in a bug of like 10 more.
Second LD, done some other jams though.
Just started development, I have my kids this weekend and after a day at the park I said to myself "I can still do this...". The reasonable thing is to go for the jam and not the compo... But I was never a person of reason.
Had an idea based on XCOM base building game part for a small underworld where you have to keep your habitants alive.
The game is based in on the premise that people live in vaults, just like in fallout. You have to keep your habitants alive and you have to survive the nuclear holocaust in that small "under"world.
Lunchtime on second day. I've decided this LD to so all of the major tasks (programming, art, audio and interface) as large separate blocks instead of doing bits of each in turn.
This seems to be working out this time! All the art assets that I need are down and now just need to be brought into unity.
This is an actual sign in the town I live in. (on the left) - took a pic of it this morning to use. Also got recordings of ducks and geese. https://www.dropbox.com/s/tb7gl8u1svtojp7/ludum002.jpeg?dl=0
Ok, I really proud of it. All the core mechanics are working correctly!
Take a look what the game look right now: AWESOME GIF
Now we need to add more buildings and add more life to the game. Let's go guys! :sunglasses:
I clearly won't win thanks to my image editing skills.
Programming wise, I'm doing OK. Forgot to add a camera, so I might have to hack some stuff so you can actually see your character moving around. Still missing a lot to be a real game, but hey, at least I'm doing this.
Other posted about their tools, mines are : - GIMP - SDL - C++
I'll need a way to create some simple sounds though.
I said it, so i must be in
Ima go get pizza...
Day 1 is almost over and it's going pretty well.
I decided to make a building game reminiscent of Sim Tower, but in space and with little space to build. I'm using Construct 2 for the game and Aseprite for the artwork.
Since I'm on my own and not a great artist (graphics-wise) I decided to go with lo-fi-sprites and very little animations for now. If I have the time, I will add some tomorrow.
Right now the basics of the AI work, every citizen has needs (like Hunger, Sleep, ...) and they produce scrap for new buildings when these are met.
I'm still working on two major bugs (you can build multiple buildings over each other and you can build floating rooms (my favourite)) but I'm working on it.
During a short lunchbreak, I decided to record a little song that I will use as soundtrack. Nothing amazing, but I think it's better than dead silence (although it would be more realistic, but thats boring).
Here is a little picture:

And here is the soundtrack:

Making steady but slow progress so far. The user can create their planet by placing seeds that spawn land. All in VR!

This is turning out a lot better than I expected for a theme I was absolutely stumped by. Having fun streaming it, and really thriving off the encouragement I've gotten from friends and family.
Time to power on! The small world isn't going to collapse on its own! ;)
Where this handsome edgy character is? Surprise, surprise!

First time taking part in LD! Probably going to end horribly wrong! And that's why I like it!
It is amazing all the cool stuff I have already seen in progress shots.
Keep it up!
I have done the game essentials with placeholder art. Next we need to create the actual level and content.
