Oliver Hope 261 Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited October 18, 2021 by Oliver Hope 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver Hope 261 Posted September 8, 2021 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. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Severin 1094 Posted September 8, 2021 Oh wow! That is looking great and very funny ! Can't wait to see more progress! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver Hope 261 Posted September 11, 2021 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 Spoiler 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver Hope 261 Posted September 11, 2021 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: new and improved: I think its safe to say things changed quite a bit. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oliver Hope 261 Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) 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 ? Edited September 15, 2021 by Oliver Hope 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver Hope 261 Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited September 21, 2021 by Oliver Hope 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver Hope 261 Posted September 24, 2021 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. Im having quite a bit of fun writing silly remarks from the player 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver Hope 261 Posted September 29, 2021 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. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver Hope 261 Posted October 5, 2021 Seagull Relay Theta is aloft! And wow was it a lot of work to get here but I'm really proud of it. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oliver Hope 261 Posted October 14, 2021 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? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oliver Hope 261 Posted October 18, 2021 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. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
