First Devlog: Hello World!

Hi! I'm Puntito! Welcome to the first devlog of my new game :D

This week I did

• The game idea description
• Objectives and desired features
• Project initialization

Game Description

Slide Puzzles is a collection of classic board games with a twist: the board tiles can be moved, like in a 15 slide puzzle. The idea is simple:

¿what if we play a game of Tic-Tac-Toe using a 15 Slide puzzle as the board?

This way, the first game will be like a Tic-Tac-Toe but each player can use their turn to place a piece or to move a tile. Moving a tile that has a piece on top will also move the piece. There will be probably some games like checkers, where players move their pieces instead of placing them. Everything else will work the same.

The game will be PvP, but I will try to make an AI to play with (this could be too much work, I'm not sure if it's worth).

Desired Features

Some little (and not so little) things I want for this project:

• Full Keyboard and Gamepad support
• Mouse and Touch support (Optional)
• 2D top-view 16-bits pixel-art
• 100% Own sprites
• Animated backgrounds

Project Initialization

I've made a new Godot project, went through some graphics settings and customized the 2D texture import preset.

TODOs

• Initialize GitHub repo
  
• Customize itch page
• Create game icon
• Set up Input map
• Make placeholder Tileset
• Make slidable tiles and first test scene
• Sliding tile mode controls
• Placing piece mode controls
• Moving piece mode controls
