Hello, how are you ?, these days since I decided to participate I was thinking what game to do for the contest, and today I get out of bed to make the first drawings, I will work on the prototype the following week to see if an entertaining game comes out.

It would be a 3D game.
Scenic Snow Mountain (cabin)
Controlled with Mouse & Keyboard

History
1. Santa pulls the toy but falls away from the cabin.
2. The toy is a robot that, when it falls, reads the letter of the child who asked for the toy, sees the cabin in the distance and decides to go and give it up.
3. The adventure itself, is to reach the cabin, overcoming obstacles, difficulties.

This time I will try to design the game first before I start to program it

Regards!!!

That is the most awesome paper prototype I've ever seen, looking promising. My paper prototype barely covers the UI ;)

"santa feeling jolly" (second video) looks fun, well done :D


By curiosity, you made these games with which languages / engines ?

MrmediamanX

Three weeks to go now, guys. How's everyone getting on?

I'm still beavering away although I've not updated my worklog for a couple of weeks. Apart from adding a few more room pictures as and when they're finished, I'm now putting in a lot of the descriptive text conditions for each room. This changes depending on certain actions so takes a lot of conditional checks to reflect what you've been doing. A lot more code than I originally realized.

The artist is a bit behind with the artwork but I allowed for that in a deadline I gave him so I'm not panicking just yet. The coding side seems to be on track so far as long as I don't hit any major problems once it's properly playable.

There's a lot more work in a game like this than I realised when I started, however :-)

Not very well at all. I doubt I'll make the deadline.

I won't enter - had a play with Godot for one day, created issue reports on github for stuff I encountered that evening. Issues still open - so I won't dive deeper into Godot for this compo thingy.
Also real life has some work for me to do (and other games expect my love too ;-)).


Have fun.

Pulling in my horns a bit - I can't see me getting past a text-only adventure - but finally making some progress with actual code! The outline is fairly firm now, and I'm sorting out my data formats. Now it's just the logic...

Hello,

Will you make a thread in Worklog sub-forum or Showcase sub-forum to introduce your game to members?

Do you have screenshots of the entry?

Will you upload a video of the game? Thanks.
