This is our first Jam. Hope it goes well.

We stayed up till 04:00 to brainstorm after the theme announcement. We wrote down a few ideas and decided on a puzzle game involving a mexican standoff/duel with bouncing bullets.

After we awoke that morning, we had some initial setbacks like getting hardware ready and rewriting a script for our build server, but shortly after we got to work.

I spent today working on the bullet mechanic and the physics. It feels like everything is taking longer than it should to achieve but at the same time it’s nice to see progress.

Coxy has been drawing characters and scenery and as you can see its pretty awesome.

The buildserver has been configured to build/deploy after every commit so you can follow our progress at http://ludumdare31.nottoscalestudio.com.

Well we completed our first game Standoff.

Many attempts have been made in the past to complete a game and none of them came to fruition. We decided that a hard deadline and dedicated development time might give us the push we needed to complete something. We are really happy with the result despite it’s many flaws and this experience has inspired us to begin development on new games.

Thanks for the great comments!
