DAY 8
Today was a Friday, and I don’t do work on Fridays.
HOWEVER this is a game jam which is fun and not work so I did some stuff for it.
I’ve been feeling pretty idea-bankrupt while making this game; while working on implementing the basic systems and aesthetics of the game for the past 7 days the Idea Librarian in my brain has been scratching the bottom of the Idea Barrel with a machete looking for game mechanics and levels to throw into the pipeline, but, scratch as they may, they haven’t come up with anything.
UNTIL NOW.
Today I sat down for a solid 40 somethin minutes and dunked into my Idea Ritual, i.e. slam jamming random thoughts into my notebook until one of them strikes me as being particularly interesting. I found that idea about halfway through my Ritual, and I spent the rest of that time expanding on it. So NOW I do believe I have a solid and doable idea to try and make reality within this here video game. I won’t spoil it here though, because I’m tired of typing right now. And thus I conclude today’s progress thank you thank you I’ll be here all week.
