Howdy all! Entering the jam, a friend may join for music and art, but I’m betting on doing this alone. So long as my brain doesn’t fall out during the weekend, I’ll be posting updates on my twitter (@NvrSkipGameDay) and… here? Are we supposed to do that? This will be my first time really participating in the LD community, so I’m looking forward to that for sure.

I’ve started a LD jam before, but never finished – planning for a different outcome this time! So yeah, let’s jam!

Tools I plan on using:
• Unity3d with C#
• Art: Blender(?), Photoshop, PyxelEdit
• Not sure on sound yet…

…but it’s a start! My teammate Noah had the idea of a match-the-shape type game, like those old toys you played with in preschool. I know it may not be the most original thing to start, but it’s my first weekend game by myself (Noah had to bow out almost immediately due to time constraints) and I’d like to keep it simple.

Thus, Amorphosis’ little pre-alpha self in all its ugly glory.

Hi everyone! My teammate and I will be entering the jam. We’ll be using Unity, Visual Studio and probably Pyxel Edit. Let’s do this. 😀

Happy jamming!!!

Can't seem to publish my first 'In' - giving this another try. Cheers, all.

I'll be honest, this was not the theme I would have picked - but after brainstorming with my teammate Clothos I'm really looking forward to digging into this one. I'll post more on what we're actually doing tomorrow, but tonight Clothos got our protagonist and main enemy concepted as well as designing level layouts, while I worked on some pretty basic prototyping just to make sure our idea was doable. To bed for now - peace out, jammers. :)

Got the basic level controls in, setting up platforms now and working on character movement. Goal is to have protagonist & enemy attacks and movement done by the end of the day. Making good headway so far I think, here's a small update on my tumblr account since I don't know if this site supports images yet. Cheers, all!

We've been crazy busy so I didn't post any updates yesterday, but I wanted to show what the game looked like on Saturday night (tumblr link).

All day yesterday I updated the graphics with Noah B's animations (what a huge difference) as well as adding tons of little tweaks like checking the direction the character is facing so that she doesn't pop enemies backwards, lining up platforms the way we want them, etc. But tonight is the finale! I'll get some last minute touches in tonight after work - I'm excited to upload this thing. :)

And thankfully submitted alright, from the looks of things. Thanks for workin' hard on the site to all involved, it can't be easy to keep up with this load on a new site.

If anyone wants to try it:

Cheers all. Time for some celebratory wine. :)

Yo homies, entering the compo this time around. Using Unity and... who knows yet? Probably 3D stuff with Maya. If I go 2D it will be with PyxelEdit. Cheers, jammers :)

Well, for the most part. I'm going with a Pet Sim/Real Time strategy. It's a weird idea I've got that may morph over time - I do feel like these genres wouldn't generally be compatible though? Hoping...

I need a humanoid base for the idea I'm doing - gotta feed it and have it morph. Gonna put some simple bones in it and get to popping it into Unity.

About to test some weird IK stuff in Unity on this little person model thing I made last night. Here goes. :)

This may or may not be turning into a zombie fashion game. I don't even know at this point. Cheers, all!

Also, music is done!

First Compo complete! And my brain is now dead. Kind of like zombies. And fashion... and...

A zombie/fashion sim/strategy type game! Please enjoy Fresh to Undeath!

Cheers, all :)

Going to attempt to do an interactive novel with this theme with my partner in writing (Codename: MyBatchall). Let the brainstorming commence! Good luck everyone!

Programs: Unity, Affinity Photo, Infinite Painter (Android), Something for Music at some point

Definitely doing a visual novel! My oh my, it was tough to think of something in that genre with this theme. Digging what we've got so far though.

And a very, very early stage laying out of things in the editor. Hope to have a working prototype by the time I go to bed tonight. Cheers, all!

Well, sort of. Popping it into Unity, now.

Just going to jump into a bit of code to get this running, then heading to bed for the night.

Since I've scripted or... done any gamedev really. This is hella fun, but my brain is super rusty.

Still! Got something :) Gonna start popping in graphics tomorrow.
