Streaming dev for another ~6 hours.

Now I just gotta make a bunch of spells, actual enemies, and bosses.
I'll be streaming again in an hour or 2.

The combat uses a mouse based system where you quickly draw patterns to attack. The most simple of which is called "Wind Slash". It's just a simple line down and to the left.

I'll probably be streaming more dev around 11AM EST (16:00 UTC) tomorrow. Drop by if you can! :D

I spent a bit too long working on this:

I got the player implemented though:

I'm gonna take care of a few things (and just take a break in general) for an hour or 2. Then I'll be streaming dev again until 2-3AM EST.

I'm taking a break to eat then I'll be streaming here again: https://www.twitch.tv/dafluffypotato

I'll be streaming dev for my AKJ game in 15-30 minutes here.

Here's some early mockup art for now:

I'm in for my 5th AKJ and my 14th game jam! (13 of which were 48 hour solo)

Here's what I'm using:

• Python - code
• Pygame - graphics library
• Px Editor - artwork
• SFXR or foley - sound effects
• Bosca Ceoil or LMMS - music
• 3x6 pixel art font - font
• entities.py - pygame 2D framework

I made both the font and the entities.py script. Feel free to use them both for anything. No credit needed.

My last AKJ entry (Spike Dungeon):

If you're interested in my other work (source available too), check out my itch.io page.

I missed the last Ludum Dare because I got pretty sick the day of so I haven't done a game jam since the last AKJ. I'm really looking forward to this one! \o/

Good luck everyone!

psst… pygame is viable
