I already finished the tile map renderer, the player rendering/physics engine and the main game mechanics.
Note to myself: Make better game assets.
Great i created a discord server, if you want to get in touch. https://discord.gg/HKGQAyp
Hello World!
I don't want tell what is the game about just yet, but lets say it will be 2 player game (Android, IOS, PC) ;)
And here is what I made today:
- Swipe mechanics
Don't even have a Gamedesign or something but. I worked on a main menu^^. I know that I want to make the game in a 2D Pixelart style. I will use this menu for more little projects in Future.
Good luck to everyone and have fun on development ;)
Got my basic player controller and camera controller working it, player even slide on slopes
I'm working on the main character model. Usually I stick to static props, but this will be the first time I actually finish a human model.
Sooooo, I'm thinking I'm going to start over on a different concept. Made some decent progress but I'm just not feeling super excited about the gameplay. A month is a long time to spend on something I don't feel excited about! I'd like to come up with something really out of the box this time :3 Wish me luck!
Here's one of the puzzles from the current game.
making puzzles is hard and making them for some concepts will make you doubt the concept, unless it's outright goldmine of exploration even for the designer, kind of like Braid. but I disagree, this core idea is properly worthy of a full game&release. But yes, very heavily depends on good puzzles, the gif seems like a good maybe second or third one.
But you need to quickly introduce some other physics elements see-saws, pulleys, levers... only then the mechanics will start to properly unravel and be interesting, you have one "non-standard" gravity thing (both of the players), now you have have to add some standard gravity things that people instinctively understand, and start playing around with how those two cathegories interact (possibly in interesting ways) ;)
*Sorry for my bad english*
Hey guys! This will be my first night I have worked on the game. I waited some days to see if I could partner with someone but i didnt saw the oportunity :( I was kinda down and almost leave the jam. But the theme was really interesting and I choosed to stay unltil I finish the game.
Whatever, the first idea i thought was the same idea that everyone thought when hearing the theme of mirrors... A puzzle game with rotating mirrors that reflect lazers. The idea was good enough in my head, but then i saw a post right here about the same idea. So back to the whiteboard.
My second idea was a 2d platformer that changes the "dimension" to have different prespectives and clear the level. But i felt that this idea had not much "mirrors"
For my third and final idea i took inspiration of Zelda Majora's Mask (my favorite game of all time). If you played it, you may remember a thief hideout in the Kafei's quest. Where you controlled Link and Kafei to clear some rooms.
Well, i took this idea, but instead of switching the players and only moving one, i decided to move both but mirrored. And the results may become some pretty neat puzzles...
Well, this is enough for this night, see ya tomorrow!
