Hey guys. It's almost the last day of the game jam and I haven't post yet. But let's do this. This is my first time partipating on a game jam and, in fact, it is my first game ever if I finish it. I have done other small unfinished things but I hope I will finish what I have planned for this one.

Here in Brazil the theme was announced pretty late, by 10PM and I wanted to make the game with my son. He has 4yo and loves games... I wonder why!

So I waited for him to wake up the next day so we could start working and thinking more about the game. The problem is that I could not stop thinking about the theme and got to an idea that same night. In the morning I told my son about the theme, the idea and he helped me to find a focus giving a lot of good (and very crazy) ideas. My wife also helped a lot!

That same day I started to work on the art and tried to make it all as soon as possible. The next day I continued to work on the art and animations and started to put it all in the world. BTW I'm using Godot as my game engine...

Weekends is the time of the week we separate to spend time with family. Is the time I play with my kid, watch movies and go out to grab a bite. This weekend is being very different and I'm really thankful for my wife that is holding our home together being around when I can't.

Later I'll try to submit some of the things I've been working. Hope you guys like it! :)

So let's talk about the game I want to make. It is a little bit inspired by The Little Prince. Basicaly you are an astronaut and you need to protect the only tree on a small planet from evil robots. This is what I've got so far:

I already have all the animations of the character done as well as the tree and the robots. I wish I could make lots of different enemies but I think I'll have time just for one. Now I have to build everything else! And the clock is ticking. I wonder if I'll be able to finish it! Wish me luck :D

Since my last post yesterday I barely could make any work. I feel sick with a maissive headache and being in front of the computer only intensifies it... Now I have 7 hours to finish but I don't know if that will be possible.

I would hate to miss this LD. It is my first try and me and my family invested a lot on it... Wish me luck!

So, I still have lots to do and probably won't be able to finish on time, but I'll keep on working...

Here is what I got so far:

I wish I knew how to embed these gifs... Anyway!

The character shoots and shields and jumps and double jumps! Yey!

I won't be able to finish the game on time so it is time to give up. I'm really sad as I had high expectations for this LD, being my first one but the problems I have to fix on the game will take much more time than an hour...

Maybe next time!

Here is what I've got:

I sample start screen. I'm not so happy with it but it is temporary.

Now we have enemies but they don't do much. Have to fix that and I guess I'll be adding another type of enemy.

I also need to improve graphics. I need a better "planetey" floor and create animations for the enemies, bullets and defense shield... I think I have a lot to do now. I could never finish this on time for the jam, LOL!
