Today was a good day, we got a lot done that we can be proud of. Being new to Unity, it took a while for some things to ‘click,’ and this night a lot of things did.
Starting with a working mock-up I (Alex) created, Anthony was able to jump off from that point and get the engine going. It did take some re-writing, and a lot of adjustments in Unity to get the ‘2.5d that looks like 2d’ working right.
The main focus of this night was getting collisions and jumping working, and we got somewhere. I would by no means call it perfect, but we have a goo starting point for collisions and jumping. and also some weird errors..
Overall a good night and I can see the momentum building now, so we can get going on level design once the engine is basically figured out.
So you may or may not have seen on the rbmlb twitter that rbmlb is now 2 people! Anthony @datGamerDood has joined forces and we plan to release our first game by the year 20XX!
Last-night was our first game jam night, and it lasted about 8 hours, during that time whiteboards were doodled upon, graphics were drawn, and I believe even several(approx.) lines of code were written!
We are excited to start our first game which will be titled “Balloon Chase Vehicle” which as of now will run on Win/Mac.
