*** Update 07/29 (#3) ***

A good amount of systems I wanted in.

Life & Family happened and they took all of my time, couldn't work on the project at all :/
It doesn't have even half of what I wanted initially and I'm not sure if it's acceptable to post but if I manage to get a few things done before the deadline I might submit it since there are a bunch of things to craft and try at least.

Ideally what I should add to finish (kinda) are sounds/musics, some small effects and maybe 2-3 enemies (+auto generation if I really have the time), all under 24hours!

*** Update 07/17 (#2) ***

Building & Inventory management.

I've been trying to get some consistency for the game when it comes to assets, design, screen resolution and all. This is what I got so far, it's not perfect but it kind of works so I'll keep it. I need to move on or I will spend too much time trying to work out details again.
I've been wondering what kind of building option the player would want. The walls for example, either have a hammer that cycles between variations (like in Terraria) or a hammer that allows manual picking. Couldn't decide so in the end I've just included both.

*** Original post (#1) ***

I should probably make a topic too since I'm participating.

I've been a long-time lurker of opengameart, albeit I haven't used anything yet for various reasons. I'm using the jam to kind of break of that habit. Since I'm still in a sandbox mindset I decided to go with that idea and see how it would work for a 2D top down game.

Precisely, I have in mind a very simple Zelda/FF Adventure (1991) but with some modern sandbox elements, I thought it'd be fun to be able to build your own house in a gameboy-ish game (and so far I'm really satisfied with where it's going).

I'm kind of making everything from scratch again while discovering the new Unity features so it takes a bit of time. Everything is still kind of bare-bones but I'm trying to get the basic sandbox things out of the way, like modifying tiles, adding grass and building walls.
I had a LOT of ideas but they'd require me to modify more arts and I'm a pure programmer, not an artist hehe. (2 edits because I can't write!)

Added update #2 to OP.

On a small note (/rant) I've been spending too much time modifying some assets, which is the opposite of what I wanted when I joined the jam. This always has been kind of an issue with oga, it has some really interesting stuff but sometimes I feel like they've been created more with an art mindset than a game one if it makes sense.  Don't get me wrong they look absolutely great on the site, but they aren't that practical to work with when you try to make a game out of them (missing sprites, pixel offsets, alpha shadows blended in the file, mismatch or missing palette etc). But tbh I'm ranting mainly because me modifying stuff means more chances for me to mess up the quality of the art since I don't know what I'm doing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: itch.io really needs a preview option before posting :/
