Spent about an hour and a half today to add a new enemy (finally!). It looks awful, so I won't post a scaled up image, but you can see it in action in this gameplay GIF:
I don't think I'll be able to finish, and even then, the game will surely be as bad as the pixel art, if not worse! But I'll keep pushing through, it's my first attempt, and I want to continue making games after this one :)
Thanks for reading and bearing with me!
Love the movement on the octopi. Simple yet effective.
Keep on pushing. Hardly anyone finishes their "first" game. It's just one of the many trials you'll endure on this career/hobby path you've chosen. I love doing jams because I don't have the attention span to stick with a project for more than a week or two. My hope each time is to add a new trick or bit of knowledge to my toolbox. Maybe someday I'll use those tools to make something "real", but for now I'm creating and having a little fun.
Hey, thanks a lot for the encouragement! It really means a lot :)
I didn't have time to work on the game this weekend, and with one day left, I'm afraid I won't make it. I will keep pushing and hopefully finish a level and submit that, and then keep working on it for #1GAM.
I did learn a lot during this jam, especially that I need to practice pixel art a lot more, because it takes me a long time to do something that looks really bad, so my plan going forward is to do at least 1hr of it every day (I appreciate any suggestions on that too!).
Anyway, thanks again for your message and advice.
