Hello! My name is Fatima but I also go by Silly! I am a multimedia artist with a heavy focus on Illustration and Video editing!

Here's a Caard of all of my links if you'd like to get to know more about me: https://sillyflymedia.carrd.co/

I have been wanting to get back into Twine and I attempted to by trying to make a new game (which is still a heavy WIP at the moment). So I wanted to make something in Twine again but this time something more simple and less complicated.

Oh sweet!! Thank you so much!

Hey there! What if you've written a poem before but you haven't published it yet? Can you still use it for this jam?

I got a SNAKE!!

I love it! It's so sweet!

Oh my god...

I LOVE THIS!!

Seems like a murder mystery! Or maybe... maybe more of a mystery in general cuz well... we know what happened haha

Anyways, I love the game! The designs are so nice!!

I can't wait to learn more about this game!!

Hello!

Yes this game is text based but I'll be adding illustrations as well!

And thank you so much for the follow!

1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?

Hi! My name is Fatima, but I also go by Silly online!

2. Did you participate in the last jam we held? If so, what do you plan on doing better this time? If not, what's your reason for joining?

I did not participate in last year's game jam, but I did participate in another one back in the Summer of 2018! I tried to make a platformer game and tried to make a level but... didn't really worked out b/c I had no idea what I was honestly doing on Unity lol. 

I'm coming back to this jam to develop a Twine visual novel instead (easier and honestly my favorite to do!) to develop a world for my characters!I've created some Twine games and they've been super fun to make and I wanna make more of them! What I plan on doing better is learning how to manage my time better and also learn a little bit more about what Twine is like so that maybe... I can play around with certain things in it and make my game more unique!

3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?

I like all kinds of games from platformers (Super Mario), to Adventure (Legend of Zelda),  to fighting games (basically any Dragon Ball Z game). I have been getting into visual novels recently (like Serre, Butterfly Soup, DDLC, etc.) because I love the various outcomes you can make with every choice you make.

4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?

I've dabbled with Unity but I'm not very confident in my skills to make a game on it so I just stick to making games on Twine. I made a Twine game for my Senior Media Project last year called "pythia_logs" which you can check out on my page!

5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!

I LOVE ART!!! And I love talking about shows and media I'm into! And I adore my characters a lot!

6. What are your goals for this game jam?

My goals for this game jam is to complete at least two routes for my game.

7. Any advice to new participants? Remember to pace yourself, know what your skillset is, and keep the scope of your project in mind when working on it.

8. What can the admins do to improve your jam experience? Provide more resources to tutorials on game dev/game design programs?

9. What are some of the past works you've made for the jam? Show off your favorites! I do have a dev blog of the game I tried to make but I never made a demo for it. I hope to make one for it someday. Here's a link: https://fates-journeydev.tumblr.com/

DevLog 2 (02272019)

Hello everyone!

Recently I’ve been at work on the Twine map for the game. I’ve reached up to one of the three endings of the game and hope to complete the second and third endings by the end of this weekend.

This map’s gonna be bigger soon, hehehe!! 

I’m also playing around with some ideas to make this game more engaging so I’m hoping to add some puzzles along the way. (it’ll be fun, I promise! ;D )

I’ve also gotten into making scripts of cutscenes for the game too! They’re going to be about approx. 1 minute or less each. 

Sadly no new concept art for this update but I’m hoping to refine the designs for each character as soon as possible and show it to you all when it’s done.

In the meantime, stay tuned!

DevLog 1 (02192019)

Hello everyone!

A while ago, I posted a teaser trailer promoting pythia_logs. Since then, I’ve been at hard work making the game. Here’s a screenshot of the Twine map so far:

So if you notice on some of the anchors, there’s a parenthesis that says “Cutscene,” it’s supposed to indicate where I put the link to a cutscene. That’s right! This Twine will involve animated cutscenes that are supposed to resemble “found footage.” This is where the concept art comes in:

Meet our plucky main protagonist “E” (her real name’s Deena Khoj but… the player’s not supposed to know that… yet).

The company PYTHIA insignia. I designed it based on the Greek Oracle of Delphi, Pythia, a woman’s profile, and a cursive “P.”

PYTHIA’s CEO and one of the three admins, Sylvia Mediocris, a strong-minded and ambitious woman who will go to great lengths to get what she wants.

Insignia for PYTHIA’s classified artificial intelligence project, APOLLYON. I designed it based off of the letter “A” and a locust’s head.

There will be more updates to come. Stay tuned!

This is SO adorable! I love it! Also love the water squirter weapon!

Do you have any ideas for enemies yet? Because I thought maybe some germ or something that represents uncleanliness would work?

Thank you so much!

I just posted an update just now, but I'm glad to see you're looking forward to the game!

This is my first time getting into game development so my goal is to make AT LEAST one playable game level for this jam.

I've got a lot more in store with this game so I hope you guys enjoy it! ^v^

UPDATE: 7/19/2018

Hello everyone!

So far, I’ve been tweaking up concepts including a set of palettes for our lovely protagonist Skye INCLUDING the finalized palette for them!

The last palette of the right will be Skye’s finalized palette.

Originally I was debating between the gold (Codenamed: Sunny skies) and blue (Codenamed: clear skies) palettes but then I felt like blue is fitting because well “Skye.”

Here is also a sprite concept of them in their finalized palette:

As well as a first look of what the backgrounds of the level for this game will look like:

Skye will be venturing through this beach level for this jam.

Comments? Critiques? Let me know ^.^

Hello everyone! Welcome to the VERY first devlog of an upcoming game called Fate’s Journey!

Story:

Mineral Cove City is a prosperous and highly advanced city located on a BEAUTIFUL island. Although it is rich in advanced technology, Mineral Cove is also known for its grand archive located in the City Hall’s underground bunker. Mayor Phate wants to keep record of more artifacts so she grants her two trusted archivists Skye and Gale to retrieve three rare gemstones, the Lunar Amulet, the Resonant Nacre, and the Obsidian Dragon Scale, back to her for preservation. As Skye and Gale set out, instead of sticking together as a team like Phate instructed, Gale sets out on her own to find the gemstones for her own selfish gain. Skye must venture through the City and the neighboring areas around it to get these gemstones for the Mayor! …. And to make sure that Gale doesn’t do anything stupid!

Now that the initial story’s been set up, it’s time to meet our main characters!

This is just an initial sketch for now but here they are!

From left to right: Mayor Phate, Skye, and Gale

Skye is our playable main protagonist

Gale is our rival character

and Mayor Phate is our Hub Navigator (think Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy or Ciel from Megaman Zero)

Now more on our guy, Skye:

Portrait of them here (tentative design pending) ^^

Skye wields a rod given to them by Phate called the Conductor. It has control over three elements: fire, ice, and electricity. Each element has its own unique ability whenever Skye uses it:

Fire = When an enemy is touched by a fire attack, it continues damaging them for a short amount of time. It is not only effective against ice-based enemies and obstacles but when used at certain places (an oil lamp or candle for example), it can be used to create a light source. 

Ice = Enemy that’s touched by an ice attack, it freezes them in ice blocks. Skye can also freeze platforms which allow less friction.

Electricity = Enemy that’s touched by an electric attack, they get stunned for a few seconds. Skye can also activate electrically powered lamps to create a light source.

And as for the level I have in mind, since #MyFirstGameJam’s theme is Water I conveniently have an island/beach themed level in mind (the main setting IS Mineral COVE City after all)

Anyways that’s all I have in mind for now. Stay tuned for more guys! ‘til next time!

1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?

Hello! I go by Silly-Fly! This is my first jam and I downloaded Unity a few days ago before signing up and I got a game concept I’ve been developing for awhile now that I want to put into paper (or should I say… “put into code” *rimshot*)

2. Did you participate in the last jam we held? If so, what do you plan on doing better this time? If not, what's your reason for joining?

I’m joining this jam because I want to create a game and also the length of this jam is beneficial for me to create a game while learning more about Unity.

3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?

I like a variety of game genres that range from platformers, to fighting games, to racing games, to RPGs, to visual novels, etc. A lot of Nintendo games like the Mario franchise, Zelda franchise, and Pokemon franchise has given me inspirations. Megaman is also an inspiration too.

4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?

The closest I’ve done to game development was making a text based game ala “Choose your own adventure” genre for a previous class that I am planning on reviving for this upcoming Fall semester for my senior capstone project. I used a mixture of Adobe Muse and basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, but the revival of this game is going to be more JavaScript based than on Muse.

5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!

In terms of story in ANY media, fantasy, horror, adventure, sci-fi, and mystery are (no in particular order) my FAVORITE genres!! So when I publish my original works, expect them in either in those genres.

6. What are your goals for this game jam?

I am hoping to learn more about Unity and also try to AT LEAST make one level for my game idea.
