OFFICIAL SUBMISSION [SUBMITTED] An adventure with a name - Seagull Relay Theta. Season 2 entry.

Recommended Posts

Here shall I, Oliver, present my progress on my season 2 competition entry.

I barely know what I am doing but it is going to involve steampunkness, adventure, perhaps a little puzzle, airships, floating houses and probably a lot of frustration on my end.

Oh yeah, let's not forget the flying outhouse.

A completely outrageous means of transport

I have found sketching things before or during building really helps because I can try out ideas a lot quicker and easier.

Things almost always change from sketch to ylands though.

Today I finished my planning for gameplay puzzles, my game is taking a similar form to a point and click puzzle game hopefully this translates well into ylands.

Here is the first part as a flow diagram. WARNING MAJOR GAMEPLAY/PUZZLE SPOILERS

Spent the afternoon/evening terraforming an yland. I thought this was going to be my least favorite part but It was actually very enjoyable. 10/10 would do it again.

Pretty happy with the results but ill probably make changes as I go.

Before:

I think its safe to say things changed quite a bit.

A green house I made today. I really hope Im not making stuff too detailed?

Some design choices may seem a bit odd but it will all make sense in the end ?

I have been working on this house farrr too long (and its still not finished). I think I'm about 70% done with my assets, I wanted to finish them before I started gameplay but I think I need to change tracks for a bit.

Its hard to fit everything in in a few pictures but that just leaves more to be discovered.

Iv managed to make quite a bit of progress this week. On Monday I programmed the custom inventory system for my mystery yland and over the week Iv been using it to get started on the gameplay for the first chapter.Its nice to be able to play test stuff.☺️

The graphics of the UI are only temporary and will be made much better at some point.

An item to be picked upA little bit of feedback

Im having quite a bit of fun writing silly remarks from the player

The inventory

My mystery yland has a name now (actually it has had one for ages, just not publicly)- Seagull Relay Theta. It should make more sense one you've played it.

Did a play test with Fompster of the first chapter and everything worked well.

Finished the exterior of one of the two workshops as well.

An unnamed, slightly less outrageous means of transport. Equipped with a V4 steam engine, twin condensers, mechanical stoker and gantry for loading cargo.

3 days left... luckily I dont have anything else to do because I need that time to finish my game. The week has been tough with 2 hour power cuts a few of the days in the evening, one causeing me to loose some progress?

Yesterday was, well tiring... I estimate around 16 hours of work to finish my game in time.
I am mostly extremely proud of what I have submitted even though there are so many more details I would like to add, not to mention the whole middle chapter I had to cut out.

Congratulations to everyone who submitted their game! that in its self is an achievement. I look forward to experiencing them first-hand.

Time for a well-earned break.
