Hey Everyone! My name is Rick and I've been a programmer for about 10 years now but only recently started making games using Unity. As far as skills go programming > design > art. I'm definitely not an artist haha. But my game for this jam is called Red and the Golden Orbbit. You play as Red, the biggest Orbbit in his village, who is given the quest of finding all of the golden Orbbits and getting them to band together to restore the Orb of Dreams and allow all of the Orbbits in the village to dream peacefully once more. 

It's going to be a platformer/resource gatherer as you play across levels and collect as few or as many of the Golden Orbbits that you can find to help you along the way in your quest. 

Here's my day 1 update so far: I've started the art and prototyping for the game as I already have most of my basic design documents down. Here's a quick video!

Day 1 Video

Let me know how prototype 1 looks so far! Does the style of house fit in? Or how about the house with the background? I'm using the Corgi Engine with Unity to make this!

Hey guys! Update 2. I know it doesn't look great but it's a start! I have the village made for scene 1 which is going to be the intro scene once I add dialogue plus prompts explaining the controls. All I need to add is more people lol. Any feedback? 

Gif to demo 2   Sorry for the cursor in the middle of the screen.

I'm back! And I made progress haha. I have a small placeholder enemy in there for now, but I expect the finished one will just be more animated and I'd like to add a few different types of enemies to level 1. I think it's coming along nicely. Here's my latest work: Link 

I really like to Corgi engine so far it definitely saved me a lot of time I would have just spent reimplementing the Raycasting for the physics, instead of Unity's out-of-the-box system. And because I'm having fun I'll share an extra video with you guys! Ta-Dah! Remember this area, it just might house something later on.

Well, as you can all tell my art needs a lot of work. I'm not an artist (or a musician) but I think most of today will be spent on fleshing out some more art and music! If anyone wants help with their soundtrack please let me know. I'm not great, but I can master some stuff. I have Renoise for Chiptunes and FL Studios because I like it better for EDM and Hip-hop. I also have a few synths and Ozone 7 for mastering so if someone just wants a track mastered I can maybe help out with that too!

Quick update: I've added the UI text and got collectibles drawn and placed for level 1. I also got the tutorial text down and the basic story out, told through an old man character in the starting village. I'm hoping to finish level 1 tomorrow and add a second, flying type enemy in to the level!

Well, in addition to screwing up my sleep schedule I at least got the first level done, the UI collectible counter working, and I even think I got the first song out it just needs mastered! I'll post more pictures tomorrow but I think I should at least try to get some sleep haha.

Latest update guys, I've started on level 2 and I got a new slightly animated monster and when you pick up the Golden Orbbit at the end you'll notice the counter does go down haha. Other than that I can definitely see here that I need to tighten up the colliders a bit but for now it works!

latest gif

Also if anyone would want to use the tiles I'm using for blocks just let me know!

Latest update! And last post for the day haha. I finished level 2 up and it ended up pretty big. I think that this game is going to end up like I Want to be The Guy if anyone played that. I recommend it, it's a freeware game haha. But I also created a new nightmare monster thing that I think looks pretty good. Check it out!

Nightmare 4

Great work man!!! Seems like you're making quick progress. Our team is still stuck planning out our levels and finding/making good art. :(

Latest update, sorry it took so long for me to update. I'm on a lunch break right now and realized I haven't updated for a bit. My free time the last couple of days has been spent producing music. I finally know what I where I want to go with the sound and I got the track for the starting village finished! I'll hopefully post a video with sound tonight since it's in game. I also got some more villagers added and animated!

Hey guys! As promised here is my latest and greatest update. Unfortunately I couldn't get sound to go with the video but in return I've got three links this time!

The start village song on Soundcloud

A video of some more animated villagers I added

And the Level map of level 3

I'm pretty happy with level 3 and the song haha those are what took the most time of course. But the song and all the music probably will, use a lead synth that is based on the Commodore 64's chip so I hope it sounds villagey and laid back enough. I also added jump sounds and a few selected particle systems but I'm not showing those off here haha they're really pretty basic. I'd say I used up most of my time trying to get used to FL Studio 12 since I switched from a tracker, but I'd say I can at least do some basic producing and mixing lol.

Hello, All! Just wanted to update since it's now the weekend and I'll be busy finishing my game hopefully haha. I got a lot done since yesterday on and off through out the day. I'll post a longer update with pictures later but for now I finished and tested both levels 3 and 4! 4 is longer than level 1 but shorter than 2 and 3, but it's a moving platform level so I'm happy with that since the challenges are switched up a bit. I also got the second song finished and since I got home I mastered it and put it in level 1. Last night I added checkpoints to levels 2 and 3 since they're longer levels. 5 will probably have them as well, I'm not sure yet haha. I added more tutorial signs, hopefully the game is easy enough to understand, just walk, jump, and cling to walls lol.  Finally I added particle systems for when enemies die, around the golden orbbits, and in one scene where stuff is on fire. Alright, hopefully see everyone tonight with an update you can look at haha.

Hey All! Back with that update! I'll post the song later, but here's a video of my latest work I mentioned before! Link 

Question: I see that the video is a bit laggy. I'm not seeing that myself, the target FPS is 300 for some reason, should I lower that and could that be why it looks laggy or is it the video recorder lagging?

Hey guys, I'm back, didn't get a ton done game wise yesterday. I did get the 5th almost complete and the boss level is taking shape now. I did however get 2 songs out haha. So I'll post screenshots or a gif later but for now here are the tracks for levels 1 and 2. Both are in the same style as the starting village song, just that they both get darker and faster. I switched leads for level 2's track but it's still an old chip lead, I'm just not sure from which system it came from haha.

Here they are! level1    level2

Not much for today but I am working out the boss fight so far and I did a bunch of play testing. I wanted to show off level 5 but I think I'm going to go with this gif of the boss fight. So far it's only the boss, but you jump on him a number of times and he respawns away from you each time, so it should be a bit more challenging than the regular enemies. I plan to add in spawned enemies as well, but one step at a time haha. Here it is: Boss fight

I'm finally  "done" haha. Or I should say, every level, the boss fight, and the title and end screens are completed! I'll probably put it up as a project in the next day or two if anyone wants to play it early lol. But it can be played through multiple times so it definitely seems to be working. There is still a lot I want to do now though, in addition to stuff like finishing the music.

I did get a fourth song written and produced so now I only need like 8 more haha. I also need to add more sound effects and do a bunch more playtesting, but I'm happy to say I can submit something now haha! 

Working from home today, whenever I take a break I've been drawing up new animations for the monsters. So far nightmare's 1, 2, and 3 have all been redone, I'm probably going to leave the fourth and fifth enemies as is since I like how they look. I'll post a video later with the new monsters and the boss fight!

So, I'm not going to be uploading any videos or pictures today, but I'll do one better! Here's the project page where you can download and test out my game! I'm not done yet by any means but I figured for how far it's come I'd like for people to at least be able to play it haha. Project Page

If you play it, let me know what you think! And if you find any bugs, because I know they're in there, or have other feedback, please post it here or to the comments section of my page!

So, I'll probably update the version momentarily but since I've put it up I've added an exit button, credits, and more sound effects haha! Make sure to check it out! Right now I'm just trying to figure out what else needs done, but over the next few days I'll probably try and get a few people to test it out and see if they notice anything.
