DAY 2 (Monday) - Map Generation, Lights and More Artwork
On the second day, we brainstormed about the gameplay and the general idea of the game. I spent the whole day working on tile generation, marking separated mini-biomes on the map and adding lighting to the scene. The hardest part was understanding how normal maps work and how to make good shadows and lights that are not annoying. I've drawn a simple wall/floor/road tiles, and made another tiles generator script based on the map array that generates before it. I wish to spend a week to make a really good generator, but with a limited time it's impossible to do something perfect at first try.

Meanwhile, my friend did a lot of artwork and reworked a main characher:
