(I guess I should at least start the topic so I can leave it dead until the end of the jam haha)

I'm working alone for this jam, kind of. I have a friend who is okay to do a little bit of music ^^

My goals are pretty simple : actually finish something. I technically did another jam before but I had no sense of scope and it wasn't even playable by the end. And also to have fun because yeah, having fun is fun.

I started with a bit of brainstorming around the theme, on paper (and in french sorry)

The game idea

So the game will be a roguelikelikelikelike (see definition in next pictures) where you explore the ocean to clean the plastics. But the thing is that you're limited in time because if you don't clean the ocean enough : plastics will break down and turn into microplastics. Then you won't be able to easily clean it anymore. Also jellyfishes are corrupted by plastics (idk it sounded fun).



Sorry, everything is in french. I'll make another post later to summarize all the ideas ^^

ok now let's get to actually making the game !

Actually making the game

This game is my first project in Godot and it's awesome ! It's easy to understand and free software !

The week-end was dedicated to learning Godot so did not make a lot of progress. But today I picked up some momentum, and what momentum haha !

I will compile my WIP videos here : https://vimeo.com/user87471096

But here is a gif of the current build : 

The boat is modeled in blender (I initially intended it to be only reference for my pixel art but I'm thinking of making my game Age Of Empires Style) and turned into sprite thanks to this awesome tutorial.

Well, that's it for today. I'll continue working on it. Stay tuned !

Wow, le concept est super! J'ai hâte d'essayer ça!
