What the title says. I need a break from working on this, and the power outage that kept my sister and I out of the ranked jam didn't do us any favors. We still plan to finish, though. Keep an eye out for a blog post with a link to play the game, if you want to try it when it's done.

So, as of this morning, the game was taking shape. I forgot to save the project, a power outage happened, and I lost all progress made since 6am. It was bad enough, that there was no way we could finish in time for ranked. It would have been ready in time, had this not happened. We're going to try for unranked, but, well, there are no words. I'm never forgetting to save again after this…T_T

So, I probably should have registered us as a team, but my amazing sister, Becca, ended up helping with this by doing the art for the game. Since I'm more of a programmer than an artist, this has helped a lot. The concept is that you're exploring a haunted house, looking for your brother who went in and didn't come out. There is a ghost that is invisible most of the time. This plays into the theme of "you can't see everything." We're also playing into it with the idea of "nothing is as it seems." This game is going to be pretty short, but we're hoping it's interesting. This screenshot shows some of what we have so far. The sprites and tiles from RPG Maker MV were used as a base, and edited by Becca.

This will be my first Alakajam and second game jam ever. My tools will be:

Unity,
Some tool to make programmer art with, probably MS Paint,
BFXR

I'll be opting out of the art and sound categories for the scoring, since I'm more of a programmer than anything. Looking forward to this!
