Okay I am in. I will use unity. Now for the art, I think I will pick up some assets from the asset store. Really will depend on theme.

Are we allowed to use assets from the asset store?

Okay here is my baseCode:
iannegames.ca/baseCode/baseCode.zip

Okay finally submitted my game prime time.

Prime time is a futuristic isometric top down shooter. Featuring two levels, three music tracks, with some one liners by John J Dick himself (back when he was doing the $1 a word thing).

Maybe I will add some powerups and more levels later on.

I first tried fastspring but it turns out you need 100 before you get paid. Then I saw someone used sellbox which allows you to set a suggested price but people could pay as little as $1 and it goes right into paypal so that seemed like a winner.

Allright finally figured out what I am going to do.

Run, gun and warp.

The way its going to work is this… well maybe.

->The blocks you are standing on will slowly disappear over time, dont fall in the lava.

->You got zombies coming at you, kill them… to death.

Heres a mockup.

Okay declaring my base code because I just dont want to waste time writing it again.

Also going to use my 2 minute GUI.

Okay so I got a few things to declare so if you got unity3d and know C# why not.

I have been taking a mini vacation getting ready for ludum, not doing any games so I am amped.

I hope its strange powerups.

Idea I: you are stuck in an infinite loop, every-time you die you are reset to the beginning (with all your memories in tact). pockets of the universe are collapsing, you have to escape the area before it completely turns into nothingness.

Think of audio surf -except there is no music and the only way to survive is to memorize the pattern.

Idea II:You are a virus in the virtual world, the hacker is trying to delete you, trapping you in the partition if he can keep you there for more then 10 seconds you are deleted.

Think of it as a dual stick shooter but with a 10 second time limit to kill the monster-spawners (which will unlock the doors) to the next room.

I finally came up with an idea I actually like (hated my other ideas). I probably spent more time coming up with an idea then I will actually programming it.

Anyway the idea is simple, think the running man. You got the insane host, its a top down shooter. You got a gun, the other guys dont they just wander around the area.

You got 10 seconds to kill someone before you die. If you kill someone the timer gets reset. The longer you are alive the more people you will have to kill (within the 10 second time limit) to keep the crowd “entertained”. If the crowd gets too bored the host will blow you up.

The victims will emerge from elevators every so often.

Intergalactic Defence Command

Heres the look of it. You are spinning the “worlds” left or right. Either clockwise or counter clockwise. Each of the worlds will shoot rockets at the incoming “asteroids — ie boxes”. A red asteroid can only can only be destroyed by the red planet, etc.

I do have another layer to add but wont bother talking about that until i finish the first one, and if theres time etc.

Well I have a cool ass idea for another theme – chain reactions. I think I can make it work for this theme, its a “twist ending” turns out those werent virtual men you were killing they were real live men – “what a twist”.

NotZilla: Ice Cream Vendor

What – You have to give icecream

So monster started when I read one of the themes was “chain reaction”, and I said I got a cool idea that was inspired by the passive level from geometry wars. My original idea had you tossing “coins” in the middle of the road which caused nearby passengers to run into the middle of the street to get it, they run into the invincible mines planted by your minions which causes the whole car crash. It turned out to be a real stinking mess, I dont even know why I left it in the virtual reality setting.

Okay I guess wont enter the jam since I have been working on my game for longer (I didnt feel like starting a new game), but I just added a boss battle to my game

Im in for the jam. Bought a few assets from the unity asset store $15.

 
I cant believe no one has done a the thing type game yet (or maybe they have). Although Im going for something less cool.

Thought of this clip... start off with nothing.

I think I am down for the jam, I am going to create a game where you start off with no items. Horror based maybe... mess around with unity snaps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySGMnmiqlss

Started using midjourney to create some images of tiny creatures.

Used Meshy.ai to turn that image into a 3d model for the game.

Okay here I am livestreaming on kick. https://kick.com/maxminmaxer
