Poop now!

Just got done uploading the second of my my time lapses.

Playable entry page is here:

If you need music (the actual music I listened to while making the game):

Basic Gameplay Functionality is there:

• battery charge
• pick up poo
• spread poo
• enjoy

Whoops 😀

Game is going to be about an aging vacuum robot that needs to budget its battery time to efficiently clean the 1 room studio apartment of its owner, lest it be scrapped and replaced by a newer model.

Very tragic.

Reinstalling half of my toolchain because somehow source completion fell apart and I didn’t feel like continuing crippled like this.

Got up an hour ago. Had some breakfast. Still no idea. 12:00 – LD37 officially starts for me.

Let the Games begin!

— some Greek pre-IOC dude, maybe

Brainstorm Scratchpad:

• find Hamilton Path type puzzle, with expanded edges so instead of filling a room, you need to find a room that fills an area
• build rooms from some kind of tiles
• tile an entire room with one type of colour tiles, have some rules how they switch (I mostly hate these games)
• some silly wordplay on the German “Raum”, because I want to make a space game
• Escape Room Game
• Reverse Escape Room Game (build a room people need to escape)
• Text Adventure in a single room
• One Room Roguelike: You are chained to a fixed position and the dungeon keeps throwing stuff at you
• room memory
• perspective game (box shaped room has six sides, turn around to switch dimensions, think fez, but more boring)
• a room with some kind of maze around it, that always leads back
• fill a room with something
• build rooms out of tetris block type room segments (no way, I’m NOT building a Tetris for a game jam)
• what happens when you interpolate a perspective frustum into an orthographic viewing volume?
• yes, that last one wasn’t really a game idea, rather a technical idea
• and Discover Trance Radio is on like 15 minutes and it’s already rawking awesome <3 <3 <3

Hello fellow Jammers!

I’m so excited! This is the first time I have both time and employer approval at the same time!

I’m considering either Pixi.js or Unity3D as my platforms.

I’ll record a time lapse, and preferrably do the Compo rather than the Jam, but the jury is still out on this one.

This is also my first WordPress post in about a decade…
