LD 43

First LD

Hi, 5 hours til the jam and I'm feeling pretty committed despite just finishing a 1 month jam project. Best of luck to all!

Going to bed

Not much to show as I'm doing bts stuff, and no not that kind of bts!).

Just woke up

Camera and room traversing. I'll probably add transitions later, aka there won't be transitions probably.

Title of the game revealed

itstarts4.gif

oh yeah here's a title screen, it's nothing special. But this game is 4k ready.

Game loop finished

itstarts5.gif Here's a lets play of my game. Obviously there's going to be more to it than that but I like to get the title to end screen implemented as soon as possible.

The hard part is over

got text implemented for NPCs.

Dialogue and passage of time

itstarts7.gif

So now NPCs will have different dialogues depending on what day is advanced. (It's a bit hacky on how it works, but I rather know how it works than spend time making it super automated). I took longer than I should have though, need to get to writing the actual dialogue and characters.

Writing dialogue

Do people typically exhaust all dialogue in games like this? Wondering if I should add the option to kill NPCs in-between dialogue chains or after you've obtained all the dialogue for a given person.

Base combat

Got some combat in so far, all thats left is to do GUI and enemy waves for the action portion. (Dunno why LICEcap (gif recording) goes so slow, it's usually faster than this. 🤷

Still jamming

First enemy wave pattern is done, I got a vertical slice of the game going, you can die, you can win, it's all gravy. Mainly the game is just missing content which I'll use the final day for.

Again licecap is recording slower than usual, dunno whats up with it. Are there better alternatives?

Rabbit/Wolf finished

Last night I submitted this game with barely enough time left. Enjoyed working on it. Check it out here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/43/rabbitwolf
