Journal Entry 1

Date: 12.3. 2024

Activity: 

- Ideation

- Written a basic description of the game mechanics

- Found pictures to complement my descriptions

- Put them together in one file

Notes:

This project for me was relatively hard, because of lack of drawing skills. I have a lot of great ideas but I don't know how to portray them without using my own art. For example I really wanted to build the level from the ground up, create a sketch, but all the versions I had tried to create were scrapped due to unreadability. Before giving this project to one of my colleges I would try to explain my vision better using some form of scheme first. For now I've created a few unique gameplay mechanics which are connected by a theme and aren't hard to code, so I am happy with what I came up with for now, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Invested Hours:

• Ideation: 4 hours
• Writing: 1.5 hours
• Picture scouting: 2 hours
• Compilation and export: 40 min

Outcome: a small one page document that has basic explanation of my vision for a cute platforming/puzzle game, without many in-depth details(for now)
