So far there is only the mage ‘Hero’ but there will also be an Athlete,Demo,Scientist and Psychic ‘Heroes’. Players can climb up walls and perform ‘SICK MAD TRICK SHOTS’ (which definitely not a bug that I couldn’t fix!). Just finished all the basic movement animations using separated limbs so it was quite easy.

This is my first LudumDare so I’m sorry if what I’m doing breaks rules or is terrible! I’m also not sure if I’m posting in the right place for the regular jam so sorry for that also.

My OneRoomBattleArena has now got the basic gameplay sorted but only works with controllers! Bit of a problem as you also need more than one to play the game! I’ve also only managed to add the Mage and Ninja classes as I was having problems with AOE damage so scrapped it completely. Hopefully I’ll be able to add some music and sound effects before the deadline.

After a day of working on my jumping game I have the basic mechanics done(ish) and the character modeled and partially animated. Still got a way to go including having more than one level but I don't think I'm in trouble yet! This is only my second jam and so I'm still stumbling in the dark :) The speed you travel is determined by the amount of power you have. If you have too little power you can't made some jumps and too much you could over shoot. Careful Power control is needed.

The idea is you have to escape (out of somewhere) using the platforms. The twist is you will be controlling multiple characters in different places at the same time and can only choose not to control one at a time. Not sure how well it will work but I guess I'll find out! Got the Basic character and camera movement and sorted a basic semi randomly generated level. Still a lot to do but think I got this! :D

We're making a "turn based" "destruction derby" game. Not had a whole lot of time but got the basics down today still a lot to do. Tomorrow the artist should have some goodies for me.
