It's been a week and I'm sure that I'm not the only one with a quarter-baked game in the works. It's always fun to see early progress screenshots and concept art to compare to the final games, so I thought I'd make a thread to share a bit of what we've got so far. If you want to be mysterious and keep your game as a surprise, just post a tantalizing hint instead. Don't worry about how your game looks either, we've all got different levels of experience and time on our hands and many of the simpler games actually turn out to be the most clever ones in these jams, so don't be shy!
For my own submission, I'm working on a castle exploration management game.
This screen took most of my first week to make and will hopefully become a solid foundation for the more exciting parts of the game. I'll probably need to add a little hint button to remind players of what all the funny-looking icons represent.
Sketches of the main cast. These were actually done before the jam started this time for reasons that couldn't be avoided.
Now it's your turn! Keep your explanations short and simple like I did, or share the whole story, whichever way's more fun for you to type. Take a moment to share a behind-the-scenes preview of your creative process and get some early feedback in return!
