Starting a bit late, but would like to join and create a full, if small, game!

Going with the theme of cycle, my game will be about a phoenix that goes from chick, to fletching, to full pheonix, before returning to ashes and then a chick again. I would like to have some way for the stats of the phoenix to become slightly better with each incarnation until it can beat some sort of boss. How much I am able to complete in the remaining time depends on my work ethic, I may have to scale back, but this is my plan so far!

I will be working on Unity 2D, and making my own pixel art. Music, we'll see, not my forte haha.

Ok, 2 days into my project, some progress but the exciting stuff is yet to come! It's mostly just been me following tutorials. I have a little simplistic world with a box pheonix who can move around and jump, and a flying box enemy that will pathfind towards the player using an A* library. My next steps are to make the enemy do divebombs to be a little more exciting, and to draw and set up a tilemap for the world! Then comes health stat logic.

Second week update!

Hmm, life has caught up to me a little bit, but I have been able to create my tileset and most of my character animation for the chick. Clearly this will stretch beyond the end of this game jam, but I'm having fun with it so that's ok. I decided to shift away from pixel art because that takes much longer in my opinion. Here's part of my world with the tileset on:

And my little chick animation, yet to be colored:

That's all for now as I continue to try my best to work on my assets! I want to create an additional tileset for the background, and some environmental art to make the world a bit livelier.

Nicely done man.
