jenthetracy Posted November 28, 2015 My team is making a tile based puzzle game with hopes of mobile compatibility. We'll see where two weeks takes us. Tentatively the object of our game is safely guide arctic animals to the goal. We are team Ranch BLT. We're comprised of four programmers and an artist. This is our first Wizard Jam. Joining a new community is exciting. I look forward to watching everyone's games develop. I am the aforementioned artist on the team. My dev updates will be mostly comprised of art made for the game. The animals, items, and backgrounds will be scanned watercolor and ink paintings on paper. I'll be taking the "focused pallet" diversifier into consideration when making design choices. Initially the animals were going to be realistic, but I've decided to lean adorable to honor the "It's a Baby Game" diversifier. However, the puzzles will probably be challenging enough for adults. All diversifiers I've taken into consideration alter the aesthetic, not game play. We'll see what the programmers decide to incorporate. This is a work in progress with much game design still to be done. I'll keep you updated using this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenthetracy Posted December 1, 2015 More characters join the adventure. Thinking of dropping the purple for orange to meet the "focused pallet" goal. Still have a bit more time to make stylistic decisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenthetracy Posted December 14, 2015 Lovely stuff! Only other thing would be to edit the title in the original post to indicate RELEASED... congrats! How do I do that?

osmosisch Posted December 18, 2015 I want that bear snowman on a t-shirt. Not joking about this btw. Would you prefer I arrange it myself (and if so, may I?), or do you want to set up a store somewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eot Posted December 18, 2015 Is the title an Immortal reference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenthetracy Posted December 24, 2015 @osmosisch Wow, I thought you were joking about the t-shirt. It's late now, but I can throw something up on Society 6 tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenthetracy Posted December 24, 2015 Is the title an Immortal reference? I don't think so, but to be honest the title was not my decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
