Got our Discord on, our Youtrack set up and our Brain Food cooking. Let the games begin!

Finally getting somewhere

I saw the theme yesterday before bedtime, and after having a good night's sleep, I came up with a rather weird concept. Hardest mechanics have coded, so theoretically I should be able to finish in time. I'll tell you more about the game later on, but in the mean while you can enjoy the glorious 2 frame animations of the band "Chicken Mignon"

Slowly but surely

This jam is weird. I feel almost too tired to keep up but I'm still getting by.

I've made progress on my game today but I'm not sure if I'll make enough in good time yet. I've got a tile targeting system that selects and IDs tiles, I can interact and change them and next will be planting crops, watering and having them grow in stages. Using states and keeping execution order in mind is definitely helping things lots but I still have the settings menu to implement and either a hotbar or inventory (probably just the former) to allow me to equip different items and make farming feel smoother and easier for people.

Then I still have, a dialogue/menu system, the art assets to do and some more audio/music to create. So much for a solo project!

If anyone reading this happened to have played my previous game Life is Fleeting then there's a decent chance you were one of the people who wanted the tile cursor to be beneath the player as opposed to in front of the player in the direction they were moving/facing. I've got things set up so you can toggle between both ways and use your preferred style.

My game is a successor to my last one as the theme fits perfectly. I don't know whether having a shorter time limit to make things frantic again while still being chill or just having a long timer for the days would work better but maybe that's something to worry about later!

Time for a break for lunch then back to it!

The art has been entirely neglected so far so this is all purely placeholder stuff to test that things are functioning. Those water tiles are my farming tiles until I make my art 😂

Maybe It's About MILK?

Follow me for more production madness as I try to make at the very least a GDD while taking care of a toddler while doing promos solo in under 72 hours! I'm really testing the limits of my "Hollywood waterfall" production techniques here.

UI in place

Now switching to multiplayer sync & game rounds. Leaving easy & pleasant stuff for tonight (juice, map design, etc.). 🙂

Getting there

harvest_wip.gif I've kind of got the core gameplay working now. It's not a game yet, but it's getting there :smile:

Hang in there people!

And when the going gets rough remember:

Progress thus far

After a day of giving physics to dirt that really didn't need physics, this is my progress so far.imageem2023-01-07/em085231760.png
