Wow! Thank you very much for the review! Really enjoy your walkthrough and dedication! I have learnt a lot about what I should improve from you! Good job! :D

Current Update
The past few days were quite busy. I need to balance my other work with the jam ☹ I had absolutely no clue with unity’s animation system, the result was somewhat acceptable…consider this was my first try 😂. I spent a long time meddle with animation system, trying to figure out what’s going on. The animation is sometimes buggy, but able to get the basics done…The player and enemy models now can walk around, take damage, attack and die.
(Enemy death)
(Player death)
I will fix the camera and npc animation tomorrow and will use the rest of the time laying some more assets in the level with Joe. Look like our game might not be done on time :(, but we had a lot of fun learning unity and seeing everyone’s work :D I think next time we should adjust our workflow, so things can be done in a more organized way.
So what we still left are:
- Camera
- Water, radiation’s relation to player health i.e. if water/radiation reaches 0, health will decrease
- Populate the level
- NPC animation
- More inventory items
- A start menu
- Restart game after death
- If we have time, we could do some more for npc behaviour i.e. when being attacked by player or enemy
- a day and night circle (that would be nice to have)
Best Leia and Joe :D
Day 4, 5 and 6
On Day4 the inventory is partially functional, so I was thinking posting on day 5. On day 5, something disastrous happened. I use git to locally manage my files, as I staged the files, I suddenly remembered I should put it on a feature branch instead of master. So…not realising the consequence…I used “git reset –hard” 😭 … as I haven’t committed the changes nor backup the files somewhere else, the whole file reverted back to the last commit… finally, I managed to use "git fsck" to find all the lost files ( if you want the file names to be better looking or have a direct solution to similar issues, you can clone this repo), I manually recovered some scripts and prefabs and restart from where I last left…
I managed to get the progress back and finished the inventory, so now the player can stack and drop items and can consume items to recover health. Although some basic materials are lost during the restart... I also fixed the movement bugs when clicking on widgets. Haha tough days…I should always backup my work, vision control can be quite dangerous for someone like me 😂 Think this is a very good lesson for me!
I will finish the rest of the UI today, adding enemies and hopefully do some rigging. This is our project so far:

Leia and Joe :D
Day 3:
Finished:
1. adding animation to dialogue system
2. Basic interaction (part 1) -> user can pick up items, but items won’t disappear
3. Basic inventory widget -> user interface, add item, highlight and display item
Unfinished:
1. Fully functional inventory -> need to add stacking similar items, drop items
2. Player stats, and how they will be influenced by pick ups (e.g. pick up health add to player health)
I think these will be today's goals! :D
Our current progress looks like this:
Generally, yesterday was a busy day. Both of us have other works to do from Mon to Fri, so I am afraid our development might slow down ☹…but we will try our best! :D Our team have set up a Trello board to track our progress and priorities (https://trello.com/b/7daefBw5/gamejamboard)
Best,
Leia and Joe :D
Hello there! 😊
Our game is a top-down old-school RPG game. The basic synopsis of the story is that you are a traveller in a dessert and needs to bring back fresh water for a village in need. The water source is controlled by a group of evil individuals and you need to battle your way out.
Our team is quite new to both Unity and game development, therefore we want to use this jam to practice our skills. We aim to make a basic level out of this jam.
Day 1 Goals Achieved:
- Basic movement for player (walk and talk to)
- Basic movement for NPG (walking around)
- Basic UI for dialogue system
Day 2:
We haven't finished the dialogue system on Day 1, so we get it done today. The current progress is like below:
We will now move on to make basic object interaction and inventory system. While at the same time, trying to name our game! :D
