I got up at about 06:30 today (GMT +1) and I have been working almost non-stop since :V
Since pictures say more than a thousand words, heres some (Still some placeholder art):
There is no goal yet, but I will be working on that tomorrow. Time to go to bed. (Also, I will be streaming here http://www.twitch.tv/olavst tomorrow, just like today)
It appears my Jam buddy has returned, so I shall be retreating from the compo proper and joining the games jam. Pity that, I quite liked my prototype, but with the framework we’ve previously developed I think we could produce something better.
Been hard at work. Music, sfx, and art are mostly done. Gameplay is pretty finalized, with a few bugs. It’s all about creating levels now.
I suppose I’m not being incredibly original with a platformer. Nor is my level design that amazing. But it’s just fun to make it, you know? And I’m doing well on time.

YEAH!@
She looked threatening with that walker...
Huzzah! The demo level/first level of the game is finalized. I put music and sound into it, more fluid animation. I sortof think I might mess around with the launch trajectory, to get that lady over the wall with the fire hydrant. After all, the main character wants desparately to be left alone! If anyone (running windows) wants to try out the demo, you can download it from http://feyleaf.com/downloads/alone.zip. The music track is bundled in there too. I’d like to know how well it works on different setups.
Meanwhile, there are several other levels I want to create. And different methods of dispatching folk in the game.
5 Hours in, 4 were spent arguing with the new version of Chipmunk Physics I smartly downloaded.
Core mechanics are implemented, tomorrow work will be about level designing, UI, power-ups and if i’ve got enough time, leveling.
So, how much am I advanced as seen in my brainstorming…
Ice explorer – ok
Interactions, collision system, some background – ok
– trapped – not ok – alone – not without scenario- deleting things – working on -fighting game – working on- random people creater – not- random messages – not -scenario – working on
Well.
Time needed : one day or more
Remaining time : ok… OH Wait. I have school-work.
Conclusion : certainly time failure to complete the game. But that was worth of it ! 
___ End of Day 1 (and perhaps end of all my present adventures <ö> ). ___
Edit : I haz a roomba-cat 
Edit2 : to have an idea of what is done, here is a demo (executable)
There is not lot of things to do, S to jump, D to attack.
I’m getting worried that I won’t hit the targeted scope at this point. The assets needed aren’t too much, individually, it’s just that I have a pretty hefty list and I don’t feel as confident about being able to pump out content consistently right up to the deadline.
Got some environmental sound in – waterfall noise, and it changes as you enter different screens.
However I haven’t made much progress on the gameplay lately. I really want to get some of the gameplay in there before I sleep.
TODO
new block type for water - the surface toggles platforming/swimming, or somesuch
start sketching out whole game and getting bgs in place
goals for rest of today:
inventory working
pick up stones
one more button to drop vs. use("shoot")
dragon flight code
diving code
bird flight code
birds placed in map are spawners?
or we just have them run on a consistent cycle?
spriting:
pearl sprites
bubbles
swimming sprites
dragon sprite
idling
flying
hit
obstacles for dragon area(attacking birds)
(reuse birds for hunting segment)
throwing stones(instead of bow+arrow)
three tasks:
diving
hunting(birds)
fly dragon
some sounds
splash
throw (replace the current thingy)
hit
_integration_
goals for tomorrow:
finish sounds, add music?
add two or three tasks
mining
collect fruit
make fire
Ending celebration/failureThirteen hours of work complete, so another update! I added in some bushes. You can forage from them and get sticks and leaves.
I also added in some hunger / thirst drains that tick away every hour.
Next up? I think I might work on making it so you can walk to different areas.. instead of being stuck at this one scene. And work on some random generation of said areas.
A new blog post at From The Beginning explaining and showing off our current three puzzle elements and how we think the game will turn out.
Video at the end of the post.
Hope you’re all enjoying yourselves

In just 45 minutes Ive added a gun and a bullet and a broken text box. It was all really simple because I already had the physics engine. Adding chipmunk probably saved me time in the long run
I got powerup and meter fixed position working now, so that’s another bug out of the way. Just going to do mostly graphics work and polish now, feels pretty good, though I’m not -that- amazed by my game concept, it’s kinda generic, but I think I’ve got a humorous twist at least.
Going to eat, got Fish and Chips for LD22 dinner tiem.
A first pass at an inventory system:
Mostly this just lets you go around and pick up buckets, which everyone seems to have in their house for some reason. And you can’t drop anything yet, so your character just has to go around with their pockets fit to bursting.
In unrelated shenanigans, I still haven’t thought up a name for this yet. I was going to go for “Village Bastard” but maybe I should keep the title clean. Something along the lines of being a bit of a dick to everyone in the village until they leave you alone. Leave your name suggestions in the comments!
I’ve been making textures for my 3D stuff. I needed a wood texture, but because of the rules, I have to create everything myself. I decided to take a photo of my laminate floor, and then tweak it in photoshop until it got closer to what I wanted.
I started with this:
Source photo of my floor
And eventually ended up with this…
Result, tweaked colours
…and this:
Result, smoothed out
I realize the smoothed one is pretty blotchy, but it actually looks decent on the game stuff itself.
Had an extremely productive day – about 15 hours of work, and one hour’s break. The game is nearing completion. I’ve done so much in one day, I may be able to add more than I first anticipated! Here’s what is complete:
In a weird room... with an indoor pier... wait- what?
Pirate ninja skeletons strikes again in Transdimensional Moon Rift!
Although it was really stupid idea trying to use animated characters… I’ve done it. Animation’s ugly, character can’t be moved that much without serious distortion taking place, but since it’s my first attempt to make animated “3d” character with skins and stuff, I consider it success.
So now I have map editor, some “textures”, few enemies, basics of step by step oldschool dungeon… I have to improve combat system, put together some more stuff (like doors and crates and loot, maybe even some extremely simple RPG system), either create few levels, or write generator, and I’m done. Probably not…
Going sleep anyway, I’m getting too old for this kind of nonstop stuff…
I have a controllable player ship, some “art”, and an upgrades system that allows you to collect and use multiple weapons at once.
Tomorrow I have more time, so I should get a bit further…

There’s just No Way I’ll be able to make anything meaningful with this PGC stuff, so I guess it’s time to use the backup plan – non-PGC stuff!
Hi Ludum Daritiens,
The keyboard is working. The basic of the mecanics is finish. I’m not sure if blinding of real image and pixel art is a great idea 
Check out my entry GitHub.
Todo list:
-Message, score and other text information
-Add item to the keyboard game
-Join the keyboard controls and character controls
-Main menu/pause menu
-Add mob
-Add lighting effects
-Animate the character sprite
-And more…
