Progress Update, Day 1

Ludum Dare #42 progress update, day 1: Got my project set up with some very (very) minimal functionality. It doesn't look like much yet, but is at least heading in the direction of something that could arguably be called a game:

I have a rough idea where I'd like to go with it for the "running out of space" theme, though I'm not sure how much of my idea I'll have time to actually implement. So, I'm planning to try to work on it in an iterative way, starting out with the absolute minimum and then adding features and complexity if time allows.

Tomorrow's agenda will be to implement all of the core gameplay functionality, getting as far with it as I can, and then reserving Sunday for polishing and visuals.

Time for day 1.

I saw the theme right before I went to bed, which was a mistake, because I could not sleep. Anyways I have an idea and I'm ready to start programming!

Not the direction I anticipated but I'm having fun.

My goal this LD was to learn a bit more about 3D in Unity, so I started playing with some basic procedural animations. It's both horrible and great at the same time :D

G'nite

Status update: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Finally got "some" framework of my game done. I've only got about 2 out of 5 mechanics implemented into my game and the 2 mechanics aren't even really done yet. Gonna go to bed for about 2 hours (or more) then gonna get back to work (or, ya know, procrastinate XD)

We work well !

We have a cool gameplay with a space duck and tea bags... We're not strange :)

Warehouse stacking puzzle

Using a forklift to stack up a warehouse. It can't be more trivial than this.

Alternating Space

So that's what happens when you are running out of space.

Ain't got the power

We've had a slight delay, all ready to go this morning (it's 9am here) except for the power cut anyway. Turns out electricity is kinda important to these kinda things

Fingers crossed it doesn't take too long to come back on.

Peace and love

My ideas

At first, I didn't like the theme. But I started reading some of the posts here and thinking about all the different ways to interpret "Running out of space" and writing them down. Then I got some sleep. The ideas started to come gradually this morning, and now I've picked one that I think I will be able to make into a fun game.

Here's my list, feel free to steal my ideas!

  • Popular restaurant. You are the Maitre'd and you have to assign diner groups to tables.

  • Disk drive is getting full. You need to delete some files. But which are vital code? Replace drives in racks in a server farm.

  • Hospital beds

  • Orbital debris. You are a space janitor, and you have to clean up orbital debris for satellites and rocket launches. https://www.space.com/24895-space-junk-wild-clean-up-concepts.html

  • Car parking spaces

  • Big family in a small house. Clear out rooms or save for an extension.

  • Running = Smuggling. in space.

  • Literally running. Spacewalk race?

  • Running = Managing. Space delivery company?

  • Running = Creeping/growing tendrils from space

  • Personal space. You have to navigate a crowded street/tube/etc without maxing out your proximity meter or anyone elses - otherwise you/they lose it!

  • Outer space.

  • Inner space. Nano entities inside a body.

  • You are defending against enemies that consume the ground you are on. You need the ground around you for resources.

  • When you fail, the path you took is closed off.

  • You are getting bigger. You have to escape before you get stuck. Might work with Inner space.

I've already spotted some of these ideas in the feed - great minds think alike!

Ending day 1 with a bang

Got a ton of work done, but I'm super tired. https://youtu.be/guDXloFtyjI
