Apparently it really was worth it getting out of my comfort zone! 🥰

First tests with the daynight-cycle and AI's state machine.
The daynight-cycle won't be that quick and there will be other things to do, not just lead the victims to bed 😅

The haunted inn is starting to take it's shape. 🥰
Still very much #wip though.

Once I start ironing out the game mechanics, most of this will probably change... 🫠

My game is somehow turning into an inn management sim. 😅

By Night, the ghost girl scares the guests to harvest fear to sell on the ghost market. By Day, her living twin tries to salvage the inn's reputation amid the complaints.🫠

Done and submitted to the jam! 🙌

This time, the game is much simpler, but I went way more out of my comfort zone!

It actually barely has any text and not a single CSV-file to see!😆

Recorded some footsteps and other sounds with my voice and a minimal BGM on my synth. 🙃
Please someone tell me honestly if they sound too annoying!! There's still enough hours left to change them 😂

Had some time to blow the dust off my synth. Now to record some random piano notes for the game's bgm. 😅
This can't end well.. I can't really play, let alone compose 🫠

Touching stuff causes noise and the human goes to investigate.
Seeing the ill behaving object scares them.
But if the see the actual ghost, they get angry instead of scared.
In Windermere, for a ghost to be seen in a human dwelling is strictly illegal! 😆

Taking part in a Micro Jam again.

Theme: Night
Prerequisite: Only bad endings
Timelimit: 48h

Spent the first seven hours fiddling with the art style.
Time to start seriously coding! 😅

Stress testing the leaderboards resulted in accidental speed run.

Almost perfect luck! 😂

Should've added a coins/day leaderboard 😅

Post jam massive overhaul finally done🥰
Much less reading, much more gameplay.
Also added Global Leaderboards!
Now even you lose all at the slots, you can at least aim for a highscore on the Biggest Loser leaderboard😅

An #artshare! Partially summer themed, but you can ignore that if you wish!

Instructions below! ...Minus one thing!
I'm gonna make a starter pack to go alongside this!

It's a bit rambly, but I tried to highlight many of the mechanics that happen behind the scenes and are probably not too well telegraphed to the player. 🫠

Yes, it is actually very winnable.

Just takes some perseverance and knowledge, or just dumb luck. 😅

tbh, the difficulty has been calibrated for me, and I know all of the background logic, so it might not be fair🫠

The slot machine works! 🙌

I too might get addicted to gambling if I saw premonitions of what the spinners will land on if I spin them.

Too bad the payout rates in the casino of Windermere are calibrated to account for Oracles.. 😩

The map portion of the game is more or less finished. 🙌
Now for the gambling portion.
The prerequisite of the Game Jam is "Gambling Addiction" so don't blame me 😅
Also... That Debt isn't getting repaid by honest work... 😱

The readings now level up within their categories when solved optimally.
The factions give a reaction, hinting at how much their reputation increased.
Oh, and there are some bonuses based on the locations the popup spawned.

Everything handled by CSVs 🥰

The core loop on the map is kind of done. Popups appear with the texts and in the locations defined in a CSV and when flinged to the Archbishop or the Mayor they grant a rep bonus applicable to that specific popup. 😀

The MicroJam has started. I guess no sleeping for the next 48hours🫠

Theme: Miniature
Prerequisite: Gambling addiction (oh dear..💀)

First setup of the scene is done!
Days are ticking.
And events are spawning and bobbing on the map! 🥰

Okay, this is surely against the spirit of the #pixel_dailies, but its just too spot on 🫠
