For our first game jam we focus on an old idea. You control a dwarf who must defend his barrel of beer against orc, goblin, troll.

We use Unity 3D as engine. A camera render to a texture target with the mandatory size (64x64) and we use a basic UI object to draw the texture to screen.

• we start the project
• we are Blackbones and we are 3 (1 designer, 1 artist and 1 coder)
• the dwarf can walk left and right
• parallax scrolling

Great style, look forward to seeing it in action!

I like the concept.

Great concept. Looking forward to seeing more about the game mechanics and how it all shapes up.

• add animation for the dwarf (run and attack)
• first iteration of the shop
• code what we need to use bitmap font
• sprites for some traps
• add a basic title screen

love the graphics, can't wait to play :)

The shop seems a little out of place, I think you could tie that into the aesthetic a lot more, and avoid the black fade. And gosh, you just reminded me I need to write the bitmap font stuff as well, HTML5 Canvas can't do non-blurry fonts, AT ALL. >.<

Thanks for your return. We will think about the shop but we need the functionality rapidly :)

Good luck for your non-blurry fonts!

• new shop, directly incorporated in the world (not a window over)
• new system to place traps
• the barrel has a quantity of beer
• start to work on traps system (spades, bear traps, dangerous water, ...)
• new monster: troll
• add some sounds

First footage of basic gameplay. I make a youtube video to have sounds and music

We are so far away to finish :)

We submitted the current version : https://blackbones.itch.io/lord-of-the-beer

Maybe osx and linux version before the end of the countdown :)
