Cheers, guys! This is basically going to be the devlog for my first game that I intend to actually release, Rewind. The engine that I am gonna be using is Unity, it's just so I can work faster.

First day plans:

  1. Write the code for basic stuff as player movement, collision, basic triggers, buttons, pick-ups and such;
  2. Create some art for the game (?);
  3. Maybe create some puzzles if I have time left.

This is pretty much what I intend to do for now, I'll keep you all updated, probably more updated on my twitter though, where I'll probably post some screenshots more often (@snoopaifuuzy). Also, if you have any ideas for my game, please let me know.

Update #1 of Day #1

  1. Got the movement fully working, some basic art and visual effects
  2. Got the collision... sort of... working, I guess. It's really buggy and I'll rewrite it as soon as I get this out of the way, probably.
  3. Made some placeholder sprites for the player and added some Hotline Miami music for no reason, really.

Google Drive folder with all the builds (For now it's just a build but I'll be pretty much placing all of them here): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxt2ZcebeXHyRnBXYTNYSVpvcE0

great work with the movement and collision already! it'd be cool to see some gifs of visual examples of your movement :Oc

Submitted

sure thing! i just have to rewrite the collision, since it's really buggy at the moment

Submitted

Second day goals

  1. Fix the collision
  2. More art, maybe make player sprites
  3. Puzzles and story development

I probably will only get the collision fixed today, it's my gf's birthday so I won't have too much free time on my hands.

Sixth day goals (does anyone even read this anymore like honestly who cares)

Alright, I only have a few days left, so I need to work really hard to get the game ready.

Goals:

I've handed the character design to @ShineShine (discord), since I haven't got any ideas.
