I'm trying to make a 2D puzzel game where you  use mirrors to see and interact with things on the other wall. This is my first Jam so i am very excited! Good luck to everbody!

Some of the progress of my first day making my game. Not much finished yet but I do have the "base" player model and a few others done even if it's a really simple one (I'm a really bad artist, I can't even draw a straight line with the line tool).

Trying to make it a shooter with puzzle elements based around mirrors and reflection with dynamically changing game modes (similarly to how it's done in Nier: Automata).

(The breakable mirrors in the video will most likely not make it to the finished game, I just made them for fun since it was pretty much 2 clicks away, but I might use them in some puzzle where you have to destroy mirrors or you'll get shot at with reflected lasers). There's still a lot to be done and I don't really have a lot of time outside of weekends but I'm having fun so I'll try finishing it even if I miss the deadline.

Update Post 3:

I've basically spent almost all this time making assets till now... I roughly work 2 hours a day on this project, still gotta maintain that social life.

Here's the rough list of things i've done;

• Done the player movement script; this is a really simple script. One of the characters moves, for example - Right (A key), the other one - Left (still A key), this also contains basic jump mechanic, still need to tweak that though.
• Started to make some levels; i am going for a 'World 1-1' sort of style.
• Started to roughly sketch out the menu; level select and that sort of thing.
• Added a little bit of personality to both characters;
  • The story is that... There once was a cube named 'Green' who lived in a gameboy colored world. But one day he was split into two 'Yellow' and 'Blue' (these colors make up green). Now he tries to get back together but everytime he tries, it fails (basically you end a level by getting back together, but instead of ending the game you go to the next level ). 'Yellow' is the optimistic part of 'Green', but 'Blue' is the pessimistic side ('Green' just doesnt give a ****). 

Planned mechanics;

• Keys with keylocks; i plan to make blocks which to remove requires a key, doesnt matter which character picked it up (yellow or blue), keys are global.

• Platforms; you can stand on them, and when you press 'W' you can drop down.

• Signs /w dialoge boxes; stand near a sign and a dialoge box shows up.

• Switches; one player stands on a switch that opens something up.

Note; these are the mechanics yet to be added, these are just mock up images...

My multiple world set up is coming along well, with some neat effects.

I am still looking for teammates, if someone wants to participate.

Now I have some little guys buzzing around, taking aim at you:

Update 4!

• Fixed the mirror bouncing
• Added rotation to the mirrors
• Added new meshes - tiles, cubes and a wall

Thanks to being stuck on that reflection problem there's less progress being made that I'd like, but I did recently foray into some basic UMG stuff, the buttons there actually work and you need to be selecting the light shaft to even fire the ray and it stops when another button is selected (basic radio button behavior as well. I just need to get the projectile for the fireball working, and then set up objects for those spells to hit and I can safely call the base prototype done and can move on to asset creation lol.

Hello everyone!

It's the end of day 4 and I'm just behind schedule, but I hit a major milestone so I thought I would share it with everyone. My game is going to be a walking simulator, where you can explore a run down, abandon house and a brighter, mirrored version of it, by traversing through mirrors in the game, finding and listening to cassette tapes left by the previous tenants, and potentially solving some puzzles in the two dimensions. Here's a snapshot of one of the mirror portals in action:

I like how it's looking! still one bug (which if anyone can help me out with would be amazing, i can't seem to figure out how to change the direction of the players velocity when they go through the portal. not a major bug but just kind of annoying) but the visuals are what I think is really important and so I'm glad that they're looking like they are this early on. 

I've also worked out basically the held item controls for the game, and have worked out  a way to "inspect" the held object (kind of ripped from skyrim) so that the player can read letters or find clues hidden under objects or whatnot, I'm not sure yet exactly how the mechanic will be used but I'm sure it will come in handy when building the world, so I can make letters hide messages under objects and such.

From now on it'll be a mad dash to make all the assets I'm going to need (I have like 3 pages of detailed mesh's), writing a script for the tapes, finding voice actors, and making a the world come to life. There's a lot of work to do still, (If you want to help out, feel free to let me know, I'll take all the help I can get) , but I'm really excited! I'll post again once I've started designing levels, and once I can get some nice looking renders out there.

Everyone's projects are looking so cool!

here is  a bit of mine so far: http://imgur.com/WO5vXdt

I'm making a 3d first person adventure puzzle game where you reflect light through mirrors onto "receivers" to activate doors, moving platforms, etc..

The mirror reflection mechanic is looking a bit like Kyles :/

This is my first progress report on my game.

I am making a puzzle game where you move a ball (with WASD) and also move the surface the ball is rolling on (with the arrow keys) The mirror part factors in because the arrow key controls are mirrored (up is down, right is left, etc.). The goal is to rotate the ball and the surface to get the ball toward the exit (the translucent ball in the video)
