It does look quite great! I can't really find anything to complain about it

It looks good, it does give off an old flash game vibe at its current state!

I would say that in my opinion it feels very cluttered, I assume it's supposed to be the Main Menu and a Character Selection? By the Discord, Twitter and Steam icons?
Separating those into a separate screen could lower the clutter.

If you look into XCOM 2 and Papers Please, you would see that the UI elements often feel immersive (Although the only immersive thing about XCOM 2 UI I remember is the loading screen).


I would also say that when I look at it my eyes are immediately dawn towards two elements, The Big Screen  (Team Comm) and The Three computers on the bottom.


Apart from that, I wish you luck 😁

Good bye ABC, you will be missed :(

That's a lot of JAM

I'm unable to work on the game sadly currently 14/01/2020

sadly duo to personal issues with my work place I'm unable to pour enough time to develop the game within the time limit of the jam, however, I'm still happy that the Jam got me into the idea of this game and I'll hopefully continue to develop it once my personal issues are fixed.

Damm the art is really really good especially the cat (cat jokes aside) the art looks great!

Wonder how it will interact with the game

Do you plan to make it like a classic RPG Maker game?
as so far it is how I'm imagining it which still sounds quite interesting.

and I have an idea for why the Guard might've been murdered - could be that he is meth-addicted and he loaned money from the Mafia, now because he didn't pay up the Mafia assassinated him.

Good luck with the project :)

The idea sounds quite interesting, having the player to remember the state of each cell and whatever prisoner should be there sounds quite interesting.
Would be waiting to try it out :).

Greetings, this is the first game Jam I've joined and I'm quite excited to share my progress within the Jam, I'm a self-learning Unity Developer and I currently mainly work around 2D Unity Engine.

This is around the 6th game which I'm developing for Unity and I hope the third one which I can develop from start to finish.

Day Zero - 08/01/2021

As soon as the theme was announced, I jumped into Trello and started planning out how to I plan to code in all the mechanics and what I would be able to finish within the game jam timeframe according to my free time to code which I usually give it like 3 hours a day.

From the start, I had to idea to make a game inspired by "Please, Don't Touch Anythinga puzzle game in which you interact with a console which is quite interesting and fun.
Immediately I've jumped into the drawing board to draw how I plan the actual game to look like which ended up like this

While nothing fancy it was enough to get a general idea going and what do I plan to do with it I've jumped to Trello and summed it up into this


And with both a Trello of how I plan to make out the mechanics work and a reference picture I've went to sleep waiting for the next day.


Day One - 09/01/2021

As soon as the Jam started at 08:00 GMT, I've jumped into Unity and started making the PlayerController using some empty sprites just to see if it works, after 5 minutes I've managed to set up the PlayerController by using the Update() method with the Input OnMouseDown(0), as well I've made that when the player clicks it creates a ray cast, which using that I can detect whatever Object it hit (as long as it has a collider).

After the PlayerController was all finished, I've went and done some basic sprites for the game using Aseprite such as the background, the actual console, the red button, and some other little buttons, as well as added some slightly edited sprites of pressed buttons.

When the sprites were done I've went to coding I've made for each button an animation using Unity's built-in Animator and made events for when the sprite should switch from non-pressed to pressed.
as I've planned I've run to the next part which was the coding of each puzzle which was easy with the first one being the Big Red Button, and I've stored all of whatever I'm clicking at the PlayerController, now the problem that it showed up is that I would need to repeat a bunch of If statements for each button I want to do and to have its own script be executed, I did attempt to simplify it and shorten the code by trying to make Unity search for whatever the script component was named but after 3 hours of playing around with it, I've just failed and gave up and went back to If statements, while it isn't the prettiest code blocks out there, It should get the job done and be easy enough to implement.

After I've managed to get the if statements set up from the PlayerController script I've created a child of PlayerController which was named PuzzleScript pretty much what it does it stores bool values incase some puzzle was completed so it can show up the next one and so on.

Using all of those I believe I would be able to add as many puzzles as I want without messing around with the code too much, as it is usually just copy-pasting and quick stuff such as changing sprites.


As for the day I've managed to get 5 hours of development (3 wasted for attempting to make my code easier to use) which should be noted (Don't try to do stuff that you have no idea how to if there is a simpler way to do it), I've managed to bring the game to a somewhat playable state which I'm was extremely happy with.


As you can see I didn't add yet animations for when some buttons/puzzles show up but I plan to do so once I've finished the game and got some time left after the Jam is over.

Feel Free to write some comments or feedback it will be highly appreciated :), plus I'll try to keep this (Topic) updated daily if people are actually interested In reading it otherwise I'll update  it once a while, Have a good day!.

a really cute game, as well it looks to be well made!

although the controls might feel a bit clunky at times, I have a feeling that a grid-based movement might've made the game a bit better.

but very good otherwise & cute.

Nice game!
I liked it quite a lot, although I had one problem with the level where you need to control only the red cube which he got stuck above the door (outside the view) otherwise then that the game is nice and I liked it

Hello there,
If you've played the prototype and got some ideas to make it a little bit better I will take a look at this channel and check out your ideas.
