Hey ya all,


I'm just one of those guys who always said I want to make a game. Years go by and nothing happened so I thought I should just join a game jam and hopefully it will force me to do something and move forward.


I did try a game jam I think about 5 years ago with friends. I did some art, I'm a 3D artist by profession so I'm actually looking forward to trying programming etc. In terms of my knowledge of in programming, ummm I tried to learn c++ with some tutorials and it didn't go much further than hello world.


I'll be using Godot for this, I actually started this maybe a couple of days ago but never intended on joining just pretending to. Already in the last 2 days I've probably worked more towards making a game than all the 5 years.

I have a idea on what I want to do, but being able to do it might be another story. I'll be going the solo route as well just trying to go through the whole process.

So far what I got


Thanks for stopping by!

Currently I only get to work on this after work and weekends but hopefully I get something going.

I've updated some stuff but one of the problems which I'm pretty sure is easy for someone with experience to fix is when I do fall damage it works but then it also happens if I fall onto a enemy. I'm trying to get the thing I collide with to check if it's a certain type but I can't even get that working for me currently

Good job starting! I would recommend other engines if you don't want to code. I just got Construct 3 two weeks ago and learned it in a weekend. Also, look up tutorials! If you do want to use GoDot, youtube is the place to go! I do recommend Construct 3, and it has a free version with limited stuff. Good luck starting to become a game dev! Feel free to reach out to me if you need help or anything.

Thanks I appreciate it. I'll take a look at Construct but for this right now since I already got things rolling with Godot I'll most likely stick with it.

Yup I'll definitely reach out, thanks again appreciate it!

Good for you!

I've been procrastinating pretty badly lately. But finally made a start on the art side, still somethings I kind of need to do on the code side but need to move on

Did a storm cloud that shocks you when you are on top of it too long although not all get "grumpy". Made some insects that drain your fuel and a bird that swoops at you. Although still need to tweak some stuff

wish I didn't take those two days off, well it was weird I think it was more analysis paralysis. I was thinking how can I start the art or design it in the my head instead of just making a start on it. Not sure why but it was really scary for me to start the art.

will definitely have to downsize the project

some update of the art side

Art looks great! Better than mine anyway.

Clouds are cute. Loved all the art! Keep it up! <3
