I will be updating my progress in this post. Anyone who would like to follow what I’m doing should keep an eye on this post for updates.

Here’s where I’m at so far:

Dec 13
9:00pm – laying down to take a 1 hour nap

Dec 14
3:50am – just woke up. my hour nap turned into many hours. starting development on a game about about a homeless person who only has one styrofoam cup. wander the streets getting donations and trying to survive.
4:08am – unable to record timelapse – macbook air can’t keep up while using photoshop – causes Wacom to lag. This sucks. Will have to figure it out for next time.
5:55am – finished character design, initial sprite and loose concept for game on paper. moving on to more graphics.
7:55am – put more graphics together. moving on to code. will be using crafty.js

8:34am – created character backstory and ate breakfast instead of starting code (which is next).

Game description:
You are Lestor. After getting your girlfriend pregnant, you drop out of high school, get married and take a construction job to support the baby. But, like most marriages, yours is doomed. You lead a relatively quiet life until one day you get a call from the police. Upon talking to the officer you soon learn that your wife and child have been killed in a car accident.

You spiral into a deep depression, nursing your wounds with drugs and alcohol. Months turn into years and habits turn into addictions. You are old and broken. You have no ability to work, no insurance, no surviving relatives, and no home. Nothing, but a styrofoam cup.

8:38am – Starting code
11:07am – Created a busstop and lamp post for scene.
11:17am – First scene with crafty is set up, heading for a shower.
