I've started before the jam's beginning. I was reading the documentation and the tutorial, and then I had an idea and preferred starting right away instead of waiting.
I said in the "introduce yourself" topic that I had almost finished the coding, but finally I needed to add a puzzle and I still have no idea for it, so the pace slowed down. (Also, I haven't done anything in the past couple days, for diverse reasons.)
Trying to force myself now. After all, they'll be the graphics to make, too.
Yeah, I think I’ll stay simple.
I spent the last few days testing various styles and searching a palette on the internet.
I’ve settled to a resolution of 40 * 12 px. I first tried the smallest resolution suggested by the rules, 80 * 24, but it was too many pixels for me so I divided the dimensions by two! :p
I think I’m done coding-wise (in fact I’m done since a few days). I’m not overly satisfied with the game I’ve made, but I’m still happy I made something! :)
If I have time I may add a tutorial, but for now you can type HELP to get generic help and HINT at any point in the game to get a specific hint.
Now to the graphics!
