My game will be called “Boat Journey”. It’s about driving a boat along a river with the goal of reaching the ocean without running out of fuel or otherwise becoming stranded, while picking up passengers who give you additional abilities.
Dev log here: https://www.gridbugs.org/7drl2023-day1/
End of day 1. Got boat driving working as well as basic features such as visible area detection, doors, and walking around on the island, and also a subtle mist system. https://www.gridbugs.org/7drl2023-day1/
End of day 2. Today I focused entirely on high-level procedural generation; getting the shape of the river and location of settlements along the river. Tomorrow I'll be generating the settlements themselves and finer details and integrating the procgen algorithm into the game. https://www.gridbugs.org/7drl2023-day2/
I spent today working on more procgen, adding the river to the world and making spaces for settlements to go along the river. I still need to generate the settlements so I probably have another day (hopefully only one more day!) of procgen ahead of me. https://www.gridbugs.org/7drl2023-day3/
Finally finished working on the procgen system! https://www.gridbugs.org/7drl2023-day4/
End of day 5. Added stats, the passage of time, basic game menus, several loss conditions. https://www.gridbugs.org/7drl2023-day5/
