Great idea Shall we have the meeting before or during the holidays?

Yay! Great to have you aboard Gan That's a great engine you've made for Eek, and I reckon it's about the right scale for a small project we want to finish. I'll try to make more placeholder tiles over the weekend.

Sorry Connors, I meant to post last night but forgot. Your thoughts are great! If you're happy to take the helm programming wise, you're the best guy to call shots on the majority of game mechanics so that we're designing something you can actually create XD The battle engine is in your hands good sir!

As a matter of fact, I'm mostly excited about working on the tileset, as I'd like to release it as a free game dev resource like the old Roguesoft set. Perhaps designing the tileset could be my official contribution to the project? I'll try to create entity sprites as well, but they'll take a lot more time and effort.

I'm afraid I didn't get as much done as I hoped this week, as most of the story and gameplay ideas that I came up with emerged from—and are inextricably linked to—a game idea that I've had for a long time and am rather precious about, as I still intend to make it someday. I basically ended up defining the shape of that project unintentionally! I did improve the UI mockup I put together earlier though, ending with a screen resolution of 1024px x 640px—which quite by chance appears to be the second biggest project size in SilverCreator. I'll have to give SC a go one of these days.

I hope to work on the Tileset a bit this week, but I'm back to work now, so its a free time project once again for me. Still committed to seeing this through though

EDIT:

OK so there's a bot that made it hard to tell if there were new posts

Oh yes, that bot's on quite the rampage! If only they'd post something useful, like story ideas, or concept art...

Alas! The video appears to be private

The prototype for my jam actually game is submitted!

Wow! That's an ace little game Connors Super stuff!

Man, I’d forgotten all of that. It’s a great plot for a short game I’ve been working on a colour palette and threw a few musical ideas together to get an idea of the game’s tone. I’ll post a few bits tomorrow.

I’ve got a week off work, so I’ll dedicate some proper time to this project with the aim of having an initial concept by the end of the week

How’s your Game Jam project going Connors?

I've just downloaded a few of your games and I liked this one the most. The bright colours and simple icon graphics are immediately appealing, and the UI contains everything you need at a glance without seeming cluttered. Great job Johna! I encourage you to finish the battle engine so you can start adding levels and have a short game to show people I look forward to playing more if you do continue the project!

EDIT:

Maze Boost and Tales of Legend had some nice code going on too, but B&M already looks polished

Awesome! Music is an important department Game Makers Assemble! Mwahahaha...
