I'm here to make videogames! Hopefully I actually use this account lol
#devtober day 28, the jam's finished so I've gotta call it finished(ish). There's a lot more I wanted to do but I think that's always the case for game jams. Got some friends doing this one so I'll link the whole jam page :)

skipped yesterday because the nausea got to me :( #devtober day 27 and I've finally finished texturing everything. Doing some very final playtesting tomorrow to make sure it works, should be good to submit for Wednesday :)

#devtober day 24, I've been modelling/texturing the dungeon's rooms but I'll have to finish it tomorrow. Really nice to get those ugly grey boxes out :)

#devtober day 23, finished the last few rooms and ran a full game playthrough with the playtester🐎 toned back the difficulty slightly & I'm happy with the ideas and length. Visual pass tomorrow, then more playtesting I think :)

#devtober day 22, put together a really neat sequence for character 3! All it needs now is all the characters together in a big finale puzzle (and proper level meshes, and sound, and some polish, and...)

#devtober day 21, fixed bugs and adjusted levels, & fit some new rooms in to teach ideas more deliberately. Also got support for keyboard controls on the playtester's request :) building character 3's puzzles tomorrow, and maybe audio?

#devtober day 20, worked on a few more levels. Made an early build for testing! Sent it to a playtester🐴 and found some things to tweak & bugs to fix, but it's nice to know it's technically easy to "release" once it's ready :)

#devtober days 18 & 19, I forgot to post yesterday's pause menu (oops)! Got some stairs and a few introductory "how to press buttons" rooms from today. Aiming to playtest some puzzles tomorrow!

#devtober day 17, this is the plant guy's ability. It leaves behind a flower, and can switch positions with it (potentially carrying stacked characters!) I'm feeling a lot of puzzle potential, so I'll stick with these three for the game jam.

#devtober day 16; Put a bird on your head. This is the last of the main puzzle mechanics, the ability to stack critters. There's no jump, so this is a useful & important way to maintain height

#devtober day 15, switching between characters, and - a new lil guy! It's a kinda Biollante/Pokemon-y plant monster thing. I hope the zigzag mouth means it can still be cute with no eyes? I'm proud of the particle trail :)

#devtober day 14, exhausting day lol. Made myself do something for the game, it's just a simple save data system, continuing picks up from the last room you were in. Getting an early night 🛌😴

#devtober day 13, the game can have more than one level now! All the critters need to reach a goal block to progress, I'll make a nice transition if I get time later :)

#devtober taking it so easy for day 12, it's a Sunday and I spent most of the day watching Evo France anyway lol. Editor objects to define spawn points & goals, though goals don't do anything in-game yet. Recharging for next week, there's 9 days left in the jam :)

#devtober day 11 is a #screenshotsaturday! Here's two types of switch to move wall blocks around, and more work on the level editor. This'll be the bread & butter of the game's puzzles, and hopefully the bird/ghost abilities play with that nicely

#devtober day 10, gave the bird & ghost their own abilities! Bird can fly horizontally, ghost can disappear into the ground & raise characters above it. It'd be nice to get a third character in for the jam, but I should start work on puzzles first

#devtober day 8, and day 2 of the lil guy jam! Made an in-game level design tool to block out levels, since it beats typing out position/scale for however many blocks haha

#devtober day 7, I've joined Pinuwuk's "Lil Guy" Game Jam as a break from the main project. Here's my lil guy! Working in the custom engine again, so I'm testing collision resolution & the ability to greybox a level

#devtober day 6 is just normal videogame glue; life, death, and title screens. The engine needed some work to render UI elements like this - it supports multiple cameras now :)

#devtober day 5 and the vision for the arena is starting to come through, the hops go over the roots nicely. Needs a bit more work though, enemies & the camera don't collide with trees yet lol

#devtober day 4, a whole experiment generating a grid as a wireframe failed so here it is as a mesh :(
Started to plan the environment, I think I'm going to make this area a forest glade or campsite. Maybe aiming for a single-level demo?

#devtober day 3 calls for a long-overdue update to the enemies' visuals; animations for warning, jumping & landing, and some new models!

#devtober day 2 was mostly tidying & bugfixing but I had time to make a little squish animation when enemies are pulled together. I think I'll work on their jump sequence tomorrow...
