The main actual gameplay loop needs implemented but I'm pretty sure I have it and the scope locked down and hopefully it'll be manageable.\n\nI've been learning a bunch of new stuff and so far I have a grid based cursor that is positioned based on the player's position and it snaps to my tilemap! I can locate, identify and change the tilemap based on this stuff and it seems to be all working great so far! I just have the player sprites to do (this monstrosity is a made in 20 seconds placeholder), an NPC sprite or two, a set of sprites for one object and maybe another for interaction and then anything else will purely be bonus if I have time.\n\nIt's almost 3am so the gameplay loop, art and audio will need to be done tomorrow if I can manage it. I've been having a look at what everyone else has been posting too and everything looks great. Looking forward to trying everyone's games out!\n\n![screenshot day 1-export.png](\/\/\/raw\/a8f\/54\/z\/4f36b.png)","comments":0,"created":"2022-10-02T01:41:57Z","files":[],"files-timestamp":0,"id":305041,"love":6,"love-timestamp":"2022-10-02T09:34:35Z","meta":[],"modified":"2022-10-02T09:34:35Z","name":"Bit of a late start but making progress","node-timestamp":"2022-10-02T01:54:04Z","parent":302273,"parents":[1,5,9,296586,302273],"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/51\/life-is-fleeting\/bit-of-a-late-start-but-making-progress","published":"2022-10-02T01:54:04Z","scope":"public","slug":"bit-of-a-late-start-but-making-progress","subsubtype":"","subtype":"","type":"post","version":933224},"node_metadata":{"n_key":"305041","n_urlkey":"394573","n_parent":"302273","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/51\/life-is-fleeting\/bit-of-a-late-start-but-making-progress","n_slug":"bit-of-a-late-start-but-making-p","n_type":"post","n_subtype":"","n_subsubtype":"","n_author":"286602","n_created":"1664674917","n_modified":"1664703275","n_version":"933224","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"source_url":"https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/51\/life-is-fleeting\/bit-of-a-late-start-but-making-progress","text":"So I joined the jam about 16 hours late but I'm giving it a go.
