Worked on creating and adding assets to my game. Created a simple bunny asset/animation, added background using tile sets which was new to me, added nest assets/functionality, and added flower assets/functionality to the game.

Cozy Spring Game Jam started today. Created most basic of basic playable games with placeholder assets:

  • Bunny can move around screen
  • Bunny can take eggs from a nest
  • Bunny can hide eggs in a bush

Prepped for the Cozy Spring Game Jam this weekend. Did the following:

  • Set up github repo
  • Brainstormed and decided on game concept and theme
  • Sketched character and environment designs
  • Created a plan that defines the MVP and breaks out the priority list for the first two days

Also, decided on May 7th for an alpha release of the mobile game I have been working on the last few months. Learned that r/playmygame and r/destroymygame exist which will be great for testing and feedback.

Decided on a theme for the mobile game (space/planet). This offers a variety of different benefits, mainly that the art/animation is easier to create. Spent an hour sketching different options for the main character, Pluto.
