Me neither.
The new build has bug fixes and a resized hat, huzzaa!

A mystery to modern science; most entertaining for the rest of us.
Something that kind of works but isn’t really a game.

So this is what I have been up to. I have not had enough time and that will probably continue as the day progresses. Probably going to be a jam entry.
Nuff said.
Just past the 6 hour mark. I feel that I’ve made some good progress, with the game starting to take some shape of an actual game(maybe?). 
Taking a quick break for food, I’ve made some progress with player movement and basic level layout(with placeholder graphics), next I just need to implement some game mechanics.
Global highscores are in, the build is optimized and, so far, the bugs have been fixed!
There’s still time to partake in the Elympics.

Remote Operations Team – Tactical Extraction Action : Post-Mortem

Intro
The prior two LD jams in the past year I worked in a duo; but this time, once again, I went in solo. It turned out pretty well, even though I only managed to squeeze 30 effective work hours into the time frame due to a hectic upcoming week. That week is now long gone so it is time for some reflection.
Plan
The day before the jam I got an idea based on a vision I had quite some time ago. Basically tactical squad management with robots that fall from the skies. The mechanical inspiration came from Atom Zombie Smasher (an old favorite) and the thematic inspiration from MGS5, which I’ve been playing for the last two months at this point (it is quite good, even if Kojima constantly tries to foil it with inane supernatural elements!)
Schedule
I knew that I couldn’t spend as much time on the project as usual so I laid down a simple, yet effective plan: programming first, critical graphics next, level design/tutorial third, and nice to have features if there’s any time left. Well, there wasn’t so audio among other things was cut.
Development
Surprisingly smooth going overall. More work on graphical assets would have been nice as the levels are just made out of simple shapes, but at least they are functional. Coming up with the name was about the toughest job in all and even then the outcome exceeded my expectations (51 letter is pretty good right?)
Result
Fun jam! With more time the outcome could have been even better, but that happens. I did release two bug fix versions and I’d like to release a proper post-jam version after the holidays are over.
Have a restful rest of the year.

Somehow, I still made it.

I had this terrible, game-breaking bug and was about throwing the towel. And then it kinda worked out. Congrats to everyone who finished in time. Cheers!
This is pretty much it. Even the humans got themselves a model, albeit sans animations.
There’s a lot more I’d like to add, but unfortunately it is going to be a busy next week for me. If only I could take Monday off, but alas.
Surely a few more hours won’t hurt too much, right?
Tacticool sheep extraction team?
Hmm, I’ll continue working on the name.
I’ve kept my priorities in check. Simulation first, then critical graphics assets and thirdly all the levels. Now it is time for polish and nice to have features!

After struggling with the game concept for a while, I went ahead with an infinite runner-ish idea. The game still lacks scoring, gameover-restart game loop, GUI and SFX.
It’s almost fun to play already 
The fundamentals of interior design 3: Moving furniture

To move the chair, you must become the chair. I’ll probably do some more work on the camera, but I think the movement controls are working pretty well. You click on the furniture you want to move, and then control it with WASD to move and QE to rotate.
Now it’s time to dig into the game mechanics of furniture arrangement.
Jumped on the graphics implementation already. Some of you might spot the inspiration.
Requires texturing, but otherwise I’m quite happy with it. I might even reuse it for the enemies, if I don’t feel like modeling a human tomorrow.
Enough for the day.
All the systems are more or less done (according to plan). Tweaking and polish are of course needed.
Plenty of time for graphics tomorrow, it seems.
My tactical extraction action simulation is coming along nicely (I’ll need to think of a snappier name at some point!).
The red cube obviously represents a human guard with a gun, while the green cube is a player controlled robot. The plan is to have three different kinds of robots who have to work together to extract resources and people from the level. Lots of features to implement.
Flying solo again so we’ll see if there’s any time for graphics.
