6:00pm - I was hoping to have more time to stretch my Unity muscles before today but alas, I've been busy getting a 'real job'. Heh. Well I still want to do an attempt at the Extra Credits Game Jam 3. The theme this time is Cycles. That can be interpreted any way you want, and I'm trying to decide how I want to interpret it.
I'm thinking of making an infinite runner game where you ride a bicycle, and pass through different seasons as you go. I'm not 100% sure I can do justice to the idea with my art skills though.
Let's see if I can come up with any other ideas?
6:11pm - I went ahead and asked in all my favorite places on Discord, and got a couple responses. Only one serious one so far. A suggestion of the cycle of life, death and resurection. I could do something like a single player Realm of the Mad God or Survived By.
I also had a thought of doing a tale of transhumanism, someone trying to escape the cycle of life and death.
6:41pm - Another thought was a game with a looping level, like you go in one direction and end up back where you started. But I'm not sure how to gamify that in the time span I have, and it would be hard to use enemies in something like that.
I'm also thinking of combining the bicycle game and the transhumanism game, where you're riding your bicycle in a transhumanist charity ride to conquer death.
7:10pm - In a bold move I'm doing it all. A bicycle ride for transhumanism taking place in an o'neill cylinder that loops around and around. There will be hazards and jumps. I'll focus on the movement, hazards and jumps first, since they'll have to be cooked into the basic movement.
Well, first-first I'm making my bicycle. I've actually been drawing it for the last little while. Heh.
Also I came up with a name! Cycle to End the Cycle!
8:15pm - Time is flying and before long I'm going to want to get in the call with the guys. I can work on my game while doing that but there are things I can't do so I'll do that for now and continue this in a couple hours probably. Oh and I made my basic bicycle sprite.
12:03am - Well I did the thing I wanted to do away from my computer but then I fell asleep for a couple hours. Now I'm in the call and I'm not sure I can work on my game after all, so well I guess I'll work on it more tomorrow!
