Blob Jump Devlog - Day 12

We’re almost there! Today I tried some crazy thing with the stage select, but failed miserably. However, I managed to finish the screen by doing it the hard way, and now it works!

Things I have to do next:

Design some simple levels

Make a better title screen

Make an ending screen

Add music and sound effects

Also, spoiler alert: there will only be one world. Sorry!

Blob Jump Devlog- Day 9

So finally, I managed to finish the general save system of the game! Now everytime you get a medal the information gets saved.

Also, I also finished every gameplay element. For now they will only have a basic enemy, a one-hit-kill-obstacle, a spring and collectable coins.

Things I finished:

The Results Pop-Up

The medal animations depending on wether you already finished that level or not

The game saves your progress!

Things to do:

Design 9 more levels

Make a simple map screen

Make a slightly better title screen

Make a working pause button

Blob Jump Devlog - Day 7

So Iwas so excited about the Nintendo Switch presentation that I didn’t even remembered the jam! However, I think that I made a good amount of progress today to compensate.

Things I added:

Timer

Coin counter

Working death pop up (Try Again?)

I made it so the end of the level sends you tothe title screen.

Things to do:

Add results at the end of the level (The more I think how to do it the harder it becomes)

Add pause button and a simple pause menu

Find the most efficient way to design and create levels

And many more!

Blob Jump devlog - Day 2

So for the second day of @myfirstgamejam i managed to make a little transition between menus and gameplay, with a little jump intro for the character.

I used a simple fade to white, wich is the way that the GBA kirby games transition from screen to screen.

The gif also showcases a little bit of the gameplay, showing how the little blob jumps based on a “hold to charge jump” mechanic.

Hope to make a little more progress tomorrow.

Best of luck to everyone!

Blob Jump Devlog - Day 3

Here we are, day 3 of @myfirstgamejam​! Couldn’t make much progress today because dayjob, but I managed to make the main fail state. When you touch a hazard the screen shakes a little and you fall down a la Super Mario Bros.

It shouldn’t restart after death but it will until I make a little pop up with ”Retry” and “Return to overworld” options. However, tomorrow I must make the finish line at the end of the level.

And to all other participants, keep up the good work and don’t give up!

Blob Jump Devlog - Day 4

So, same as yesterday, couldn’t do much. I don’t have a GIF to show today, but I managed to make the main timer for the levels, since beating a stage as quickly as possible is one of the main objectives of the game.

Hope to get more things done tomorrow.
