This weekend I will hopefully finish my first game. I’ve been stuck doing back-end C# web development for too long. I’ve never been so excited to get up at 4AM.
I have no idea what I’m doing (gamedev wise) but seeing all the amazing, creative stuff you guys are doing really motivates me.

Hey,
Mission: Get up 3 am (SAST time), start game
Getting There:
Almost:
Got the basic ready. Had some linux Unity delays. Got a dropout. Still feeling good but slightly worried.
2 player two button each robot punching game.
We making some good progress, going to have a game soon!
Will be my second time. This time I’m going in solo and with a lot more experience.
Why? I want to show that I can handle pressure and tackle a project on my own. Also hoping to become a game developer and move on from web development.
I have a basic idea/genre of what I want to do but it will be 2D but open-minded about the possibility of 3D. My setup is as follows:
OS: Arch Linux (KDE)
IDE/Text editor: Vim
Programming: Unity3D v5.3 | HTML5 & SVG1.1 & CSS3 & JS & GSAP
Graphics: GIMP & Piskel
Sound: BFXR
Target Platforms: Linux & Windows | Web
Social/Self-promotion: @autovelop on Twitter | Autovelop on Facebook | Website
Good luck everyone and HAVE FUN!
Did most of the game mechanics, the menu, and about four levels. Going quicker than I expected. Some screenshots of my progress.
Cannon:
Shifter:
Next update I might show a video…
So I kinda cheated the theme a bit by making my game about shape shifters instead of shapeshifters. Its about “sticky” beings that you launch around in order to shift large shapes into a certain position.
Here I finally finished my parallax menu.
Fellow Gamedevs,
Woke up this morning with jaw pains due to stress and tension during sleep. Decided to get and have a 5km run. At the moment, I am exhausted but my mind is clear and my body is ready to shut down for my brain to go to 200% efficiency. I just want to say: TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES
WebGL version or downloadable “.zip” files for Windows, Linux, and Mac!
Shape Shifters is a game where you launch “shifters” in order to shift the weight of big shapes. Levels are completed when a shape touches the surface. The last level has a shape that have buttons attached. Once there are no buttons left on the shape to push (once it touches the surface) and the shape itself touches the surface, the level is completed. Have fun!
Future plans: Many more levels!
Made my first LD wallpaper. It is based on the colors I’m looking to use in the upcoming jam
