Not very vegetableful first day

So the theme is Minimalism? I’m not sure if it could have been worse for my liking. Is it even a theme? But alright, minimalism it is.

I didn’t like an idea of minimalistic graphics or gameplay, so my idea was to express minimalism in another way. After few hours of thinking, I’ve finally decided to make a platformer. Never done that before in my life. I almost regret that now. When you don’t have much time to work on base mechanics and are doing something comparably new, code gets messy and, may I say, ugly very fast. In fact, I’m almost ashamed that I must share that code, so please do not read it.

Anyway, first day is over and I have some progress, though less than I wish I had. I think I’ve finished with programming (for the most part at least), which leaves me with graphics, sound, level design and some testing and polish undone.

There’s not much to look at the screenshot, but I’ve decided to show it anyway.

It’s a super placeholder graphics, but considering my talents as an artist – don’t expect something much better in a final version.
