Day 3


It’s day three of #adventurejam, and I have the first half of the game done!

Of course, that doesn’t include fleshing out the story with any optional content. If all I get done is the primary storyline, at least it will be playable when the jam ends.

The “LucasArts philosophy” of adventure games says the player should never die or reach a dead-end. For playing long games, I really appreciate this choice. For short gamejam games, I understand using dead-ends as a narrative device, because the game’s length might only be 10 minutes maximum. Forcing a player to replay that 10 minutes isn’t too egregious as to be unfair. My game will include some of these dead-ends as part of the narrative.

I’m going to try to make those pathways very short, and incredibly apparent.

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

The Authority decided to investigate the Basement and leads to recovering classified documents Fun fact: The building has 928 doors and not 1000 doors. #horror
