I was "attacked" by different problems. Unfortunately, such "fights" did not leave me a time to make the game. Due to the finish is close and I have nothing done I leave this Jam. But I'm going to join another one later ;-) Good luck, jammers! May your games be cool and fun!

Days 3 and 4.

Unfortunately, I had a little time for making game in these days. I've chosen idea and name for my game. Welcome to Iciendy! It's an ice and very very cold cave with some traps and other unpleasant surprises. It doesn't matter how the character got here. But it's very important to find a way out as soon as possible otherwise the character will freeze to death! Time is not your friend here.

Thank you very much! I did how you adviced and figured out that a strategy is very very difficult. Just its playable prototype requires a lot of work. So I've chosen more simple game: a hero must find a way out of the ice cave, that called Iciendy :-) As the game itslef.

Day 2

I still have not decided neither what game to develop nor even its genre. I have some ideas but each of them seems too difficult for implementing in two weeks on my own. While most jammers are making games I keep brainstorming...

Day 1

I was about a computer a very little time. I've created a repository on GitHub using my own small library above libGDX. As I've not yet decided what game I want to develop I've named the repo just 'cold_game' :-) Then I've browsed some resources with free assets and downloaded some snow and winter related tilesets.

This is my first Game Jam. I hope this game will be my first finished game. I'm going to use libGDX because I have more than 3 years of experience with Java and like this language.

My goal.

After the Game Jam is finished I have at least a playable prototype of game.

1. I'm Aleksandr. I have more 4 years of web development (Java in backend and Angular in frontend). I dream to develop games for a long time. Now I learn LibGDX framework and hope I can make something playable and fun. :-)

2. Nope, this is my first one.

3. I like some TBSes (Heroes III, Civilization IV, Eador: The broken world), RPGs (Neverwinter Nights, Morrowind, Titan Quest, Mount & Blade). These games have inspired me, gave me much fun and ideas, that I would to implement in some great day in my own games.

4. Very little. When I was learning a programming I created a very simple HTML game in Heroes III style. I did not use any engine or library, but only pure HTML+CSS+JavaScript. It worked even without canvas! Its code was awful :-) More later I've created Minesweeper using PixiJs. I want to use LibGDX in this game jam but actually I have not yet decided finally. Maybe I'll choose something else.

5. Programming, looking for solution of difficult tasks, and of course games!

6. To make a game, to learn something new, to get a feedback and an advice from experienced game developers, and to get fun! :-)
