Getting Started

RUNNING OUT OF SPACE

That's the theme, and I think I've got an idea for what I want to do. This will be my devlog for the 2021 Epic MegaJam.

I'm going for a diner aesthetic, with pastel colors and waitress uniforms. And a lot of ice cream. As far as how the theme fits in with that, that'll be for a later post.

I just whipped this out real fast, it more or less represents the whole mood. Somewhat inspired by the Turning Red trailer

And here's a few character designs. Yes, I know I can't draw.

Using a basemesh for the characters, I know they won't score points for assets not made for the game but I can't make a whole human in time for the jam, and I do want human NPCs. I'll try to make all the props for the game however, so hopefully they'll take that into consideration when scoring.

And here's a rough blockout of one of the dresses

GAMEPLAY

I'll go for a first person shooter. Ideally I'd like to add in some roguelite elements, but we'll see if I have enough time.
