After some consideration, I have decided to go with a 2D game instead of a 3D game.  Below is an update design doc.

Adventure Game- V2.0

-2D Adventure Game

-Undead Theme

-Cave setting

-Player is a skeleton.

-Skeleton can use melee weapons to fight enemies.

-Player fights their way through the cave.

-Enemies include: miners, bats and slimes.

-Skeleton loses HP after damaged.

-Losing head after 3 damage results in character death and respawn.

-Water regenerates player. 

-Pools of water can be found throughout cave.

-Defeated enemies drop loot.

-Treasure chests can also be found.

-Player will have a health bar, score counter and timer

J, I will definitely consider just having the skeleton losing an arm or head depending on how complex it ends up being. Thank you for the suggestions!

Munro, thanks for the suggestion, that sounds like the perfect tutorial for me. I appreciate the help!

Hi there,

My name is Liam and I am working on my first game jam game.  It is going to be a 3D adventure game similar to a dungeon crawler.  I am planning on only designing one level as of right now but may add more depending on time restrictions.  A rough design doc can be found below.  Any advice would be great!

1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?

Hi everyone, my name is Liam and I am brand new (aside from tutorials) to game dev.  I hope to make a working game, preferably with a team, and have fun doing so!

2. Did you participate in the last jam we held? If so, what do you plan on doing better this time? If not, what's your reason for joining?

I have never participated in any game jam but I’ve been interested for a few years.  I’m joining so that I can prove to myself that this is something I can actually do.  I always felt like people that participated in these jams were part of such a cool and diverse community.

3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?

I have many favorite games as I’ve been playing video games for over a decade.  The Witcher series, Stellaris, Starcraft, Pokémon and Banjo Kazooie to name a few.  The game that semi inspires the one I hope to make is ratchet and clank.

4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?

I’m familiar with Unity but I’ve never made a complete game of my own. In fact, I’ve never made my own game on any engine lol.

5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!

Obviously video games!  But I also love movies and tv shows, mostly fantasy/sci fi (lord of the rings, black sails etc).  Anime as well, see: one punch man.

6. What are your goals for this game jam?

I want to make a working game, meet new people, learn a lot and have a fun time!  Any advice or constructive criticism along the way is appreciated.
