Here is my TOJam 2022 dev thread! Follow along in the game making adventure (or mute it because you aren't interested). This weekend I'll be building a ~fishing game~ for the first time and trying to match the theme "That shouldn't be here."
#TOJam #TOJam2022 @torontogamejam@twitter.com
@torontogamejam@twitter.com The official start time is 10:00am but putting together a Trello board doesn't count as starting, right?
@torontogamejam@twitter.com As per the last 2 years, the target audience for my jam game will be my wonderful daughter. Last year I made her "Robot Garage" https://ryanmiller.itch.io/robot-garage and before that, "Meow Meow Eat" https://ryanmiller.itch.io/meow-meow-eat. It's safe to say that this one will also be mouse/touch controls.
It begins! Let it be known that I'm largely copying the Breath of Fire 3 fishing mini-game, but with touch/mouse controls. I will likely not have time for the fish reeling "fight" features, and end up simplifying that part, and making it easier.
You can now catch - or fail to catch - fish! That's the bare minimum gameplay loop 🥳 Now to make it read well, look good, and add in a bigger loop.
Getting closer to all the core feature stuff being in. Hoping to use as much of Saturday/Sunday as possible on art!
Starting day 2 off right by implementing beautiful "Illustrated Nature" graphics and audio from the Asset Store.
The river environment came together quickly, too. Good start to the day!
Oh no, found out I was creating new terrains wrong (duplicating the terrain to make a new one doesn't work) and I've lost my previous environments now.
Everyone's favorite part of jamming a 3d game </sarcasm>
Bet you didn't expect the little spirit to have a car, did you?
This project smells overscoped but it's getting done so..... 🤷♂️
Sound effects are in, I really really need to replace the placeholder fish now! Can't believe how quickly this is coming together.
Good morning, it is the final day of the jam!!! 😱
Instead of modelling fish for the fishing game (what? no fish still????) I have added in a fish counter + some tutorial messages for the first scene. #TOJam2022 #TOJam
@ryanmiller nice! For some reason this made me want to have fish for dinner today. What are you developing this game in btw? 🙂
@sigsegv fish is tasty! This is being built in Unity :)
@ryanmiller now we're talking! Looks great 😁
Some cleanup and refactoring so I don't get stuck later. Also added terrain! That's all for tonight.
