Progress will be posted here and at https://www.facebook.com/JohnnySixGames
Blank project, minimalist enough?
This is what I’m staring at while consuming the first cup of tea.

One Man and his potato
I have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve switched to making some music.

Robot and potato
Hmm, anyone got a Mac to test this ?
Game runs, but the distance/opacity fails to calculate correctly on macintosh.

You can try the demo here : http://www.johnnysix.net/games/osx.zip
Or I could leave it, it’s about as minimalist as you can get in LD if you can’t see anything at all. 😀
It was a fun weekend, and I’ve not done something like this before – some lessons were learned – and relearned, including but not limited to remembering to save often. I lost about 2-3 hours due to crashes and not having saved backups.
I think I also probably misinterpreted the theme somewhat, having played 40 of the other entries now- some people really grasped it, having the chance again I’d probably do something less complex and throw in more levels.
Getting too hung up on game mechanics like wall jumping meant I didn’t have time to do additional levels or polish.
I didn’t do a timelapse as I hadn’t figured out how , but I uploaded some of the stream showing the construction of the project , sound and graphics. 
TL:DR Click to play :
Press the six key on the title screen for a bonus surprise.
I thought I’d broken it – just updated with linux and windows version [ they were in there before, but I’d not included the HTTP:// bit in the link ]

Hmmm – Google Search ‘Robotater’ . I guess this is appreciation of sorts, though it would be better if the people yanking the source and plugging it on their websites for ad revenue would at least buy the full version of the game creator so the ad didn’t show.
Ganking
If you’re going to rip stuff- at least pay for the full version of the software.

I ran out of time to jam this weekend, much as I love Douglas Adams and Hitch-hikers guide. 
I did get some time to upload a tweaked version of Robotater with some newer levels.
More to come!

Hopefully there will be bonus potato.
Made something – ish – asteroids / schmup with physics and a returning bullet. Nothing that original, but hopefully some spit and polish on the mechanics and graphics can help it along.

After sleep, the rocket thing didn’t feel that inspirational. So went back to drawing board. A cat, on a skateboard, has used up 8 of his 9 lives.
The third revision – this time with a tank that fires potatos, forks, and possibly antimatter.
So now trying to work a game element in. Each ammo type will have a natural enemy, potatoes vs crates, forks vs balloons etc.
Some shots.
Here’s a shot of the working game so far. You can fire a fork, or a potato, you can suck them vacuum style back into the gun.

Cat tank potato
May have slept though the first 8 hours or so, but everything is going swimmingly now!
I seem to always do robots or tanks. Think I might go back to drawing board.. It’s a robot with telescopic arms and legs.
I have no idea
