Well... I'm a little late for the party here since today is my first day on the jam. It is also my first jam so I'm really nervous and excited. Any way on with the game. 

I wanted to go with something short and simple with this jam and I want to focus on art and animation, because they are not my strong suit. My game is a platformer where the character is in a dream that other time turns into a nightmare. Each level the player has to find the door that brings them closer to the nightmare but also closer to waking up.

Now onto what I did today. 

Other than signing up and cing up with the idea, I made a movement engine following heartbeast tutorials  on youtube (Who is awesome and you should definitely check out if you use game maker) and also made the basic enemy that moves back and forth, along with spikes.

That pretty much it for today. I plan on working on the player sprite tomorrow along with the ground sprite.

Oh and before I forget, here is some screen shots. (The next ones will be smaller)

8/2/17

Feeling pretty good. Two days in a row where I was able to knock a lot of things off my check list. So I finished the player walking animation. Its nothing fancy but its the first walking animation where I didn't trace over a previous made sprite. I also finished the second ground tile. I also made my first ever song. Which was a very fun and difficult experience.  That pretty much all the big stuff I did today, everything else was minor fixes here and there. As always I have some pictures done below Going to go to bed early so I can get a early start tomorrow.
