Well, we got about half way through a half baked idea, and realized there was no way that we could flesh our game out enough to be the level of good that we wanted it to be. It was bad planning on our part, but you could say that the theme has bested us. It was a good run.

Also, if anyone feels like taking a look a the progress that we got, check it out here (Arrow keys: move, X: jump, C: action):

Also, we’re still looking forward to see all the great things that everyone else comes up with.

Our progress as far as idea go are coming a long quite nice. We’ve got our concept down and the concept art down:

The actual game implementation is pretty nice as well, but there is no art in it quite yet, because my artists fell asleep on me. Lightweights. Here’s the progress on the actual game:

I think if we can manage to get what we want made in the allotted time our game will be quite good.

Well, so far it looks like the top themes aren’t so terrible. Here’s the top 14we have so far:

1. Randomly Generated (+359)
2. Alone (+314)
3. Consequences (+297)
4. Self-replication (+282)
5. Evolution (+222)
6. Parallel Dimensions (+207)
7. Forgotten Places (+171)
8. Mechanisms (+149)
9. Falling (+146)
10. Teleportation (+129)
11. Tunnels (+122)
12. Time Travel (+120)
13. Decay (+109)
14. Moon (+100)

I’m super pumped to see which will win.

Having hopefully bounced back from a nasty computer crash, our team is roaring and ready to go. I’m looking forward to it.

For the code, I will be using:

Java (with good ole Eclipse)

• LWJGL if we decide on 3D
• Plain AWT for 2D

And for art (not my strong suit), the rest of my team will probably be using:

Some combination of Paint.NET/PhotoShop for graphics, as well as paper, pencil and a scanner.

And for sound, most likely sfxr and FL Studio.

I’m excited.

Oh, also, here’s our website, finally have a place to host our own work:

This is obviously late, but we couldn’t get a good picture at night:

This is the only thing we’ve eaten today:

Yo, I’m EmptyFlash, working on the jam with Nineball. I didn’t check in, but I’m writing my game with Java, using only standard libraries, and he’s using Paint.NET for graphics. I was pretty upset about the theme, but what ever, we’re making it work. Here’s a screenshot of our progress:

Most of the graphics aren’t done yet, and there are a few things not implemented yet, but coming together quite nicely.
