Folks, I don't mean to alarm anyone, but we've got a first level complete

Okay, yes, it's a little on the empty side. BUT! It exists. This morning this thing did not exist and now? Now, it does. Behold the power of creativity.

The rest of the dev day is going to be polishing some of the assets and getting into the nitty-gritty of gameplay details. So far I feel very on track and I think I might actually be able to produce the game I wanted to (knocks on every piece of wood in the house)

I was bonkers to think I could do all the assets for level 2 in one day 😂 Pretty much asset development today! There's some polishing still to do but we've got the basics for our point-and-click puzzle portion of the game! This part of the game is my pride and joy so it's getting the most love. The other two levels may be a bit more slap dash by the end of the jam but I'm still going strong! Tomorrow: fingers crossed for finished assets and then I can start scripting 🤞

I, uh. I did it.

Two weeks to make a game from concept to completion. Well, mostly completion. There's a playable product, anyway 😂 I'm actually pleased with the result! I think I'll spend the rest of the day playing if games and reading romance novels to decompress, but I'll do a post-mortem write-up tomorrow.

Not really too much to report today--despite being July in the Northern Hemisphere it was winter weather (rain, cold, clouds) all day which dampened (harhar) my creativity. Got a couple of assets done and some more thinking about gameplay.

Whew. No one ever talks about it, but game development is hard 😂
