Starting late in this Game Jam and decided to work solo for this project..Finally having the semester break and missed the GMTK games jam i saw this Game Jam was also very interesting. So, Here i am..

As for now i first worked out with the story narrative timeline.

I have decided to go with the Theme Changes and show a narrative of boy who goes through different stages of his life and experiences  changes around him. The story highly focus on impact of pollution and display his outcomes.

Hope it all comes together in time.

Things to be done for today.

1. Mood board (2D or 3D)

2. Mechanics Breakdown( Code requirement analysis)

3. Create Schedule and set milestones

4. Set Required Features, Desired Features and Wish list Features 

5. If there is till time code the  character controller and dialogue script

Prototyped  some of the game mechanics using Unity and using unity free assets.

Player controller works!!

Dialogue system bit buggy!!

Boat script needs to be implemented

Still not sure to do in 2D or 3D..As I find it more easier to design in 3d Space...

(Note That the object in prototype doesn't represent the actual characters or object in the game. Used for only testing purposes.The  transition ninja character represents a boat in the actual game. The frog represent the bear. Spike represents the plant or the flower)

Things achieved on day 1:

Controller Script

Dialogue System

Character switch to boat Script when in lake.

Trigger event loaders 

Basic prototype scene from Free assets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To do list Day 2:

Write Dialogue Script as in the narrative itself

Create a game loop to go to the next stage 

Create Assets

[Already made a pixel style character but not happy with it will go for 2D Storybook like Illustration]

Finally Settled with my design Choices..And created my own character asset and used different free asset pack from unity and used some 3D elements in the game..

Since most of the mechanics in the game were coded. and the second version of prototype was quite promising, I decided work on the visuals.

Started with the mood board..The moodboard was based on the two game i am currently playing Dead Cells and Valfaris. I really liked the art style and  lighting in those game... but the problem is those are fast paced action game.. while the game i am going for is bit laid back..(need to be dealt with)

Current version of game.
