2:15pm - So I didn't really think about it but the game jams start today, not tomorrow, and the Kenney game jam is already started with the theme of "Cursed". The EC Game Jam starts in 45 minutes. I'm having serious second thoughts about the Kenney jam. It turns out it's only two days instead of three, and I don't like the theme. I was hoping to make a Space Game, but I don't want to make a Cursed Game or a space game where the player is cursed. I'd have to make some other kind of game to fit the theme. So I guess I'll wait and see what the EC Game Jam theme is before starting in earnest on one or the other.
At some point I also realized that there are things I want to do on Sunday night, so I'm not sure about what to do there either.
This is a bunch of stress I didn't need at the start of a jam. ^.^;;
Plus I still feel like messing around all day like I have for the last week.
3:00pm - The theme of the Extra Credits Game Jam #6 is "Take Care". They're saying one way to take it is as a farewell and I'm thinking of doing it that way. Making a space game where the stations bid you "Take Care" when you leave. <3
3:45pm - Time is tickin'. Still not sure about that whole "Take Care" farewell thing. I feel like I should do more to fit the theme, but I don't know what. Too much more and the game won't get done!
I think I'll start by making a simple space game and see how long that takes me.
Oh there we go, as soon as I stop worrying about it I get a good idea. The ship is carrying care packages. <3
Alright let's go, I'll start by making the ship.
4:36pm - Making progress. Having trouble focusing though, keep wanting to do other things. Alas.
5:00pm - I'm feeling hungry. Thinking of going out to get some food. The walk might do me good but it'll cost time. Tough call.
5:28pm - Nothing more frustrating than having the solution to your problem be "Restart the Godot Editor" but there we go. At least I thought of it and did it...
Now what about going to get that food. A friend is having some issues and I want to be there for them, so I haven't gone yet, but I'm probably going to go soon.
6:13pm - Lunch gotten and eaten. Yum. Now back to the number mines.
8:19pm - Still workin' away. The reference I'm using is surprisingly complex, so I'm still getting the basic ship movin'. Well, technically I'm working on the camera, but they kinda go together!
9:55pm - Well I've got the ship moving but the Camera is being a meanie. I don't know why it's not already working.
9:58pm - I finally figured it out. The camera wasn't set to current, so it was using the 'default' camera in the middle of everything.
I've been at this a long time so I'm going to try and take a break.
1:50am - Going to bed for tonight. Will continue tomorrow.
