How's everyone progressing? I've pretty much finished the coding. My game is very simple, but there's some fancy stuff going on behind the scenes. I'm really happy with the results so far. I just have to do some tidying up, sort out colours, add some random background events in one location, maybe add some more scoring, add synonyms for verbs, add some non-essential verbs and lots of testing. I've already played it through so many times that I'm sick of it. A minimum-move solution is around 40 moves.
Hmm, now that I've listed all those things, I realise that my coding is nowhere near finished! Anyway, onto the graphics. I'll finish the coding later.
I'd like to send out a very big THANK YOU to all the people here who helped me out with my many questions, especially Chris for the Adventuron upgrades as we've been working our way through this. I imagine he's been a very busy boy recently.
As I write this, 34 people have joined the jam so far, and we have our first submission, but very few people have been participating in the community. I'd really like to know how you're all getting on. Don't be shy! Are you still working on it or have you given up...or maybe never started?
Incidentally, I noticed that the submission date has been extended to 23 September. It was originally 15 September. That gives us an extra week. Hooray!
