Day 01: Gamedev.js Jam 2022

Today I started to create my game for Gamedev.js Jam 2022! 

The first step to creating any game is thinking about an idea. The theme of this game jam is RAW. So I should come out with an idea that implements this theme. They have mentioned some possible meanings of the word; uncooked, pure, naked, inexperienced, untrained, green, immature, unripe, hard, rough. It can be part of the core game mechanic, the story, or the visuals.

I chose "uncooked" as the meaning of this word. Therefore, I decided to create a game based on a farm. The player's role is the farmer. The goal is to collect fruits while avoiding snakes. I sketched a scene as my starting point. 👇


Then I posted this sketch on Twitter using #gamedevjs and #gdevelop hashtags. Both @Gamedevjs and @GDevelopApp replied to my tweet wishing me good luck! 😍🥰

Day 11: Gamedev.js Jam 2022

Today I built the Credits screen! I don't know whether this is the correct way to build the Credits screen but somehow I did it. I also use the grid for the first time. It is a useful tool to align objects. Then I built the logic to blink the texts that appear at the top of the screen. It took so much time to build the logic for the "Play Again" text. I will need to review the docs for the event system of GDevelop later.

Day 12: Gamedev.js Jam 2022

I submitted my game!!!!!!!  Today is the final day to submit the game and I did it! All I had to do today is to add some sound effects and some minor tweaks. I added a particle emitter object to appear when the boy dies. I tried to add a particle effect for the "You Won" text to appear as confetti but it didn't work. Then I watched a tutorial on how to export the game and upload it to itch.io . I followed the steps and uploaded my game. At first, the resolution was not right, so I had to change it. I need to learn about different resolutions for games to avoid such kinds of problems. I also created a GitHub repository for my game. Even though this is not a fun game to play (at least for me), I feel proud for creating this game and participating in this game jam. I might write another blog post on my experience with this game jam.
