Got a late start on this, but glad to finally get going. I don't know if I'll finish, but I think I've set my scope low enough to make some pretty good progress. My main goal this time was just to start something, so if I do finish, that's just a bonus.

I'd love to do something in Unreal or Unity, but I think realistically with my lack of proper programming skills this is going to have to be a Twine game. But hey, at least I know how to draw stuff.

The characters live on boats that slowly circle the city center, Sol. A lonely existence, they only ever see their neighbors on rare occasions so even the slightest opportunity for company is an event in itself. The game starts as the player arrives on Terra's vessel. It's nice to not be alone, but will this uninvited guest be a blessing or a curse?

Here's some sketches for the game:

It took me the longest time to come up with an idea. I got most of the core mechanics down. Still have a few things to add before starting to figure out the art for it. Excited that I might finish my first LD even tho I know my game is really really simple and plain but atlest I made something and thats my whole goal of doing LD in the first place.

You can be late with the posts right?

Just implemented popups for note reading and potential story telling, and so to take a break from the harder implementations I decided to go back and do an audio pass, you can never have enough PC speaker beeps.

After spending hours grappling with Unity's iffy InputField I've final made some progress.

I want to make a turn-based game, aaaaaaaand the concept is done, now i have to make the code... Tomorrow :3

Here's my progress so far!

I'm in. Day 2. Stay strong! ;)

Hi there,

We are creating a 2d topdown survival Game. For us in Germany the second day has just started. Yesterday we handled world generation and the first part of the crafting system, as well as Playermovement and controls. Today we will take care about the survival aspect and balancing. As we are aiming for th 72 hours, day three will be polish and sound.

Have fun and keep stamina!

nicer than i expected with the moving planet on the background

Hey, even if I don't finish, at least I've had fun. I spent way too long prototyping various maps. Here's what I have right now:

You're an alien species, moving between planets along the dotted lines, collecting resources in the yellow planets, buying stuff in the green planets, and hoping to be the first blow up the little blue planet in the middle there (unless you play as the Sramopt faction, who win if Earth is not destroyed :grinning:). Along the way you can hinder other players by blocking certain planets or attacking them.

Progress so far today: * Colored in my alien concept art - and gave them names because I'm weird. * Made a loading screen * Designed & constructed the "board" for the game to be played on * Put up some skeleton code to manage resources and player turns / positions * Started drawing some cards and UI art ie game counters, icons Working on the second music track right now. Then scanning more drawings. So many mechanics to do still! But I think I have the fundamentals down so that's good.

Around 40 developpers, graphic designers and sound designers joined our Real World Gathering in Tours.

And of course, after a while, this many people get slightly overexited… We had to organise a Capture the Flag, to tire them a bit down 😉

Developpers need to practice some sport !

Sports aside, it looks like we will have a nice edition down there ! We have 5 teams + 2 solo working on video games, and 1 team + 1 solo working on boardgames.

I can’t wait to test them all !

You can follow us at @LDTours37, or check our twich stream.

I'm still not sure how to make the whole thing look good within the compo time

On the more or less bright side, the game is fun enough for me to waste valuable time playing it

In this game we're setting out to make Pluto great again, by turning it from a celestial dwarf into a planet!

We'll be posting more as we finish up elements of the game ^^

My protagonist is done. A gentle gangster. :) For the next hours I will make some more of these guys and than...C# will be my friend again.

From Day 1 I've Got Quite Alot Of Natural Disasters. Day 2 Still To Go!
