Global Game Jam 2015

[Dbug]

During the weekend I was participating to the Global Game Jam event, in the Oslo section.

Here is what I came up with:

It's not finished, a lot of things are missing (including sound), there are some glitches, placeholder texts, but I'm planning to finish it one of these days.

Enjoy

Thanks Dbug, I really enjoyed reading your story.
I liked the sentence in bold and I think you can put even more accent on '48' and capital 'O':
"... It's a game about a 48 hours deadline happening in Oslo written by a guy in Oslo with a 48 hours deadline for 48k Oric!"
Cheers

I continued working on the game, mostly the pure tech demo part:

Indeed Dbug. This new graphics are impressive! You are mastering the AIC method now... I know who to ask whenever I need help in future projects

I tried your game this weekend and found it really fun to play! The graphics are really nice and I really enjoyed your visuals effects.

Definitely some ideas to steal for the future

Congratulations!

Actually, I added the native support for AIC and Alpha Chanel in PictConv, so you will not have to HIDE anymore
I'm still experimenting with the graphics possibilities and limitations, and well there's only that much memory and storage

Regarding the "game", it's mostly an empty shell of a game, a lot of things are missing:
- All the objectives are not supposed to be on the map all the time, you should have to discover or activate them doing some specific actions
- "Visiting" is supposed to show in details the location where you are
- The navigation is supposed to be based on the distance, not just linear order in a pre-made list
- The time spent and the cost should be dependent on the transport mode and the distance between places
- It's missing random events (beggars, ticket control, etc...)
etc, etc...

Wow, I have to check out your additions to PictConv ..

[Dbug]

Wow, I have to check out your additions to PictConv ..

It's not yet committed.

I had to do some changes in a number of places, and I have to make sure it's still correctly generating other type of pictures.

Wonderful, i'm sure that osdk pack v1.5 will integrate this powerful tool
I'll use it for sure.
