@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.

We've got casting!

More better casting

The camera should move, shouldn't it?

Okay hear me out, what if the fish ~moved~?

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 there...

Here comes the theme!

Getting closer to all the core feature stuff being in. Hoping to use as much of Saturday/Sunday as possible on art!

Some cleanup and refactoring so I don't get stuck later. Also added terrain! That's all for tonight.

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.

Some parts of game dev just feel so dang cool

Everyone's favorite part of jamming a 3d game </sarcasm>

Model + Rig + Animate, game jam style!

Bet you didn't expect the little spirit to have a car, did you?

Interstitial scene, for traveling between levels.

This project smells overscoped but it's getting done so.....

Making the UI a little less ugly, more punchy.

Sound effects are in, I really really need to replace the placeholder fish now! Can't believe how quickly this is coming together.

Should I?

Added a title screen #TOJam2022 #TOJam

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

Fish art #TOJam2022

Fish lumps.

Modelling done, time to texture!

I wasn't prepared for how fun texturing fish would be. Would love to sit and polish, but it's a game jam, so forget that!!! Gotta rig and integrate these little buddies now. #TOJam2022

It's a tad early, but the game is up! You can play it!

This morning I built the game to iOS and my daughter loved playing it, therefore, I declare this TOjam an astounding success

@sigsegv it sure is!
