So.. Nearly four hours after the Jam starts and here I sit with a fully developed idea, fully thought out mechanics, graphics ideas, audio plans (and a teammate for composition!), and all the maps for the whole game down. \u00a0It’s been quite a productive evening, if you ask me.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’m gonna actually start the coding process. \u00a0I know pretty much how all the mechanics will fit into place so hopefully I can get all the basics down tomorrow.. I have to do graphics creation, but there’s not really that many graphics assets planned so it should go quickly; a few hours at most.<\/p>\n
The concept is pretty good, even if it might be a bit cliche. \u00a0If I have time I’d like to go back and add some bits and pieces to the game to make it pop, but first I need to make an actual game. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
Graphics… need to do. \ud83d\ude1b \u00a0Like I said above, there’s not too many unique assets in the game so things should go fast there. \u00a0We’ll see. \u00a0I do have planned some effects that might be somewhat difficult for me to do.. we’ll see.<\/p>\n
As for the audio, I’ve got a teammate who will be composing some pieces for me.. hopefully I can get them integrated and not have only one playing on loop… like I did for LD28..<\/p>\n
And, the crowning achievement of the evening is the maps I’ve developed. \u00a0Sure, it means the game is somewhat linear, but I think it’ll be quite interesting if I can get around to those extra bits I mentioned before.<\/p>\n
All in all, I’m pretty confident I can make this one count. \u00a0We’ll see in two days!<\/p>\n
