DAY 1:

!DISCLAIMER!

I don't speak English well and therefore I will use an online translator. Accordingly, there will be errors in the text. Sometimes, of course, I will fix them manually, but there is not much time for this.

IDEA

The idea for the game immediately came to my mind as soon as I saw the Game Jam theme. Choices Of Life is a game about the extremes of character and the path that a person takes. Since I don't have much free time to create a game, and this is my first game, I decided that it would be as easy to create as possible. A game about choosing with various mini-games and their consequences.

GRAPHICS

I thought that using pixel art is the best idea. But I decided to stylize the pixel art a little and give each element an animation of 3 frames. During the first day, I drew the Name of the game in the menu, the main character and also the start button of the game.

MUSIC

Without thinking twice, I decided to use Bosca Ceoil, since it is quite simple. In addition, you do not need to think about which plug-ins and synthesizers you need to buy/download in FL STUDIO to get the desired 8-bit sound. On the same first day, I wrote the main theme for the game. I think it turned out quite well to create the right atmosphere.

CODE

I will use Unity and therefore all the code will be written in C#. During the first session, I wrote a regular script for moving the character, turning it in the direction of movement and interacting with buttons. The difficulty arose when I wanted to make the music continue to play when moving to the next scene. Using my two hands and Google, I found what I was looking for. It turned out to be much easier than I thought. Just use DontDestroyOnLoad.
