~24 hours into the jam and we've got a game! Here's where we were about five hours ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aIIubTDqQc

And here we are after adding some music and making some changes to the UI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lPG37HyBoU

Watch Out For That Tree! is coming along well, at least in the Unity editor. I'm getting a steady 40-50fps there, but only about 20fps from the full build. Gameplay feels pretty poor at that framerate. Since this is the first game I've actually gotten to the build/publish step, I'm not sure what to do here. We'll figure something out!

Today I learned how Unity preloads assets.

I've got to work most of the day tomorrow, so I'll be publishing my Jam entry tonight. How do you actually submit a game?

Edit - hey, I see it now! Looks like that part of the site was still in the process of going live.

Watch Out For That Tree! is ready to download and play. Check it out here:

This is my first Ludum Dare, my first game jam of any kind, and my first ever "finished" game. It's no triple-A blockbuster, but I'm proud to get to this stage and excited to be a part of LD38! Thanks for checking this out, and remember to Watch Out For That Tree!
