🌞 Pre-Dev Log #1

🧠 Status: Sunshine... but something feels wrong...

✅ Progress:

  • Planning core gameplay loop and survival mechanics

  • Core idea solidified: You're not just surviving... you're completing tasks under insane pressure

🎭 Planned Vibes:

  • Bright, colorful daycare masking pure horror

  • Animatronics with too-perfect smiles (uncanny valley x1000)

  • Tension of daytime horror: you're awake, alert, and still not safe

  • "It's just five days... how bad could it be?" (Answer: REAL BAD.)

🖥️ Gameplay Core:

  • Camera system = your eyes, your only line of defense

  • Balancing survival + work = the ultimate stress simulator

  • SmileTrack = your so-called "helper"... (trust issues unlocked)

🔮 Dev Note:
"Sunshine doesn't mean safety.
Sometimes, the brightest places cast the darkest shadows."

👀 Bonus Hints for the Real Ones:

  • Animatronics have routines... but routines can be broken.

  • Not every task is as harmless as it seems.

  • There's something lurking even beyond the cameras... something SmileTrack doesn't want you to see.

🧠 Status: Thinking Real Hard

Progress:

Came up with the name “Five Days at Sunshine Daycare”

Realized I need to actually start the game now... eventually

Planned Vibes:

Daycare theme but creepy

Probably weird daycare robots

Who can make a creppypasta game?

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

Successful landing

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

Another house i made long time ago.

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)

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?
