It's been a week, so a it's time to start sharing some early progress! I know that a lot of the participants are active on Discord this year, but community threads are a bit more browsable and are a good way to preserve development history. I always love seeing the evolution that games undergo, so if you're not feeling too shy or too secretive, please share your plans, sketches, and screenshots in this thread!
My own project is a puzzle exploration game with shop management elements between expeditions.
My game has already undergone some big visual changes in just the first week. I decided to make the characters smaller for a bigger play area. I'm planning to add big sprites with closeups of the action in the bottom right of the menu.
Sketches for the main cast of my game. I'm not entirely sure if the fairy and goblin will appear in the release version, but the other four are already added.
Now it's your turn! Share your progress, or at least give us a tantalizing clue of what you're up to this year!
