Day 01 - Brainstorming, Concept Art, Outline

My amazing concept art in Paint. You play as Bear, the Dragonbear in a side scroller where you adventure through floating structures and avoid running into dangerous obstacles.

I decided to write small roguelike (well, as usual) about small kitten that is lost in the woods and needs to escape fire (for me, topic image looks like burning trees on the floating island). Current prototype is (still) very simple, but it works:

it does look like fire, for a while I thought of candles and flames but decided to go some other direction. So far things look really good but like you said need to balance things out

VedorSubmitted8 years ago

Hi, thanks :) For me, that fire is too pink instead of yellow-orange-red. But for now, I'm ok with that.

Making a 3/4ths view game with inspiration from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I'm quite happy with how it's turning out so far :D

And sweet roguelike Vedor! I always love a good roguelike every once in a while.

SpaceRaed8 years ago

looks lovely so far, how does the image relate to your idea?

HappySlappSubmitted8 years ago

I thought of the picture as islands floating in the sky, and wanted to make a game based around that concept, I'm thinking of making it so you have to solve a puzzle in each level related to gravity in some way.

And thank you for the compliment :D

VedorSubmitted8 years ago

Thanks, HappySlapp. What software / language are you using?

tdelarosa723HostSubmitted8 years ago(+1)

Great work so far guys!

HappySlappSubmitted8 years ago

I'm using Game maker Studio 2. I'm not very fond of having to build renderers or other such things, so I feel content in using ready made game engines.

What language or software are you using?

And thanks tdelarosa :D I still have to implement pretty much everything xD. But hey, I still got about 3 days.

tdelarosa723HostSubmitted8 years ago(+1)

Working on 3D assets. I am going for a log cabin/nature reserve look.

HappySlappSubmitted8 years ago

Those look really great! Wish I had half the skill to model something like that xD

Can't wait to play your guys' games, this is actually only my second game jam. But I really like the weekly theme idea.

VedorSubmitted8 years ago (3 edits)

@tdelarosa723 creating 3d assets from scratch for 7 day game jam? Sounds risky.

@HappySlapp I wanted to try GMS, but necessity of internet connection is a big no-no for me. So, I'm going to learn Gideros... sometime. For this project, I use Go with BearLibTerminal.

Btw, Fleeing the fire is open source. Sources will be shipped alongside binary release, but if anyone is interested, it's possible to track development via bitbucket repo, with open issue tracker.

tdelarosa723HostSubmitted8 years ago

@Vedor. It is very risky indeed. Look out guys I am living dangerously over here haha!

I should be finished modeling/texturing all my environmental assets before the weekend. Just finished coding a prototype for my endless side-scroller. It was easier than expected. Now I can generate random chunks that connect with each other with zero overlap. Sweet!

SpaceRaed8 years ago

Looks lovely keep up the work guys!

VedorSubmitted8 years ago

Today progress: animals moving around, and player's death. It definitely needs balance - probably too much animals on map, and too slow fire spread.

SpaceRaed8 years ago

For me I choose to use the image literally as my game sprites in a balance multitasking nerve burn out game

See gif here :)

SpaceRaed8 years ago

I'm 80% done with my original game, and suddenly this idea came to me....

the 3 legged lady,

it's a 2d platformer where you play with a lady that fights with an "extendable third LEG"

any thoughts? :)

I like the idea of a floating island, it's almost like a prison...depends on who or what lives on it :)

the brain Jello characters is awesome, I wonder what his attack moves are

tdelarosa723HostSubmitted8 years ago(+2)

Good work guys. We've got some interesting ideas here. I cant wait to play!

SpaceRaed8 years ago

I'm 90% done

here's the final progress, I will leave it to your imagination :)

Day 03 - Some basic mechanic, More models

SpaceRaed8 years ago

very lovely so far, I love how everything blends in well with each other.

how are you going to balance the multiple jump ?

paranoidSpectreSubmitted8 years ago

Result Day 3, i'm doing a risk like game with the image as the map :)

paranoidSpectreSubmitted8 years ago

Actually i'm almost done, i just have to add sounds, music, new sprites and a few more screens (advanced tutorial and stuff).

But the core mechanics are done.

Btw. is it allowed to work in teams here?

tdelarosa723HostSubmitted8 years ago(+1)

@paranoidSpectre Looking like youve got something good coming! And yes, even though not specified in this jam's description, you are more than welcome to work in teams!

paranoidSpectreSubmitted8 years ago

Thanks, it took me quite some nerves to get it working :D

And with the possibility to work in teams, i can outsource the sprites.

tdelarosa723HostSubmitted8 years ago

Do what you need to do since there are no ranks or voting. The most important thing is to have a submission by the end of the jam! Good luck everyone and have fun
