Day 1 - Started the jam 2 days late!


Day 1 - 2 days delay

I saw a nice GameJam - https://itch.io/jam/ssjidle

The game was about creating an idle clicker game, and the theme was "Mutation".

Should i sign up?  12 days, its the 2nd day, that means i only have 10 days and i usually dont involve myself in GameJams since i have a fulltime job + kids (you could argue who's the toughest job out of those two :) )


The idea

  • The game will be called "Mutant Battle Grounds"
  • Player mutants vs Enemy mutants
  • Goal is to kill the opponents mutants and destroy their lab
  • A Clicker button to gather resources
  • Spend resources to upgrade your mutants 
  • Each player mutant will contain different upgrades for Arms, legs, eyes, body etc'
  • A few game modes 
    • Training Grounds  (maybe its a tutorial as well)
    • Survival mode
    • Tournament Circuit - a small campaign?
    • Elite Battles - Test your skills to the limit


Time to work

After my kids drift off to sleep and my wife and I have some cherished moments together, I typically find myself with a brief window of 1-2 hours before exhaustion takes over and I succumb to deep slumber.

What i accomplished on Day 1:

  1. Thinking of the theme idea
  2. High level detailing in Milanote
  3. Setting up a project in Unity (takes 2 minutes but its an extra line to write so its looks like i did a lot)
  4. Basic AI including
    1. Auto move to enemy
    2. Move to laboratory if Enemy is not in range
    3. Different attack and movement speed
    4. Player consists of different body parts (displayed by different colors)
