This weekend I am attempting to make a game from concept to prototype. That is what game jams are all about.
These are really fun events and give people and option to have a quick creative outlet.
For this event I wasn't expecting to do anything serious but ending being one of two programmers. So now both of us programmers on on a team together with an artist. I think we have a great chance of making something awesome.
Friday night conssted of just planning. We spend about 3.5 hours figuring out mechanics and software design. I believe we have a solid starting point.
Today (Saturday) will consist of a majority of initial development. Hopefully by tonight we will have a stable playable first version. This will leave Sunday to tweaking and fine tuning mechanics that we can add it.
Lets see how this goes . . .
