Journal Entry 8

Date: 06.06.2022

Activity: 

- Starting Project C

Notes:

So, I still don't have a 1PD since I am not 100% sure what "tools" I will manage to make.

However, the basic idea is the following:

- Make a 2D platformer game from scratch (characters, animations (extremely simple ones), shooting, the actual platforms, ...)

- Theme will be Rick and Morty (characters found from somewhat low-quality pictures online, but it seems to be fine so far)

- Basic agenda is that the player (main Rick), has to "collect" Morty's before other Ricks kill him.

- All Ricks can shoot and will have the same movement (left, right, jump), but the "evil" Ricks will have a different image.

- There will be some basic UI like the Start button, Play again button, and a health bar.

So far, I am building all of the assets, but I'm not sure how they will turn out and what I will manage to make. Thus, 1PD will come in a bit, after I am certain of what I can use.

Also, working on all of this while procrastinating on upgrading my VS since I am not ready to part with a couple of more GB of memory.

Invested hours: 

3 hours so far (still working but I thought it might be good to start tracking the progress)

Outcome:

Idea of the game, starting to build the tools
