Rpg maker 2025 Game Jam

Development log.

Jam Day 2.

1:48 am - so today has kicked of with 3 of my children being violently sick , which I just * great * :/ 

On the upside I have fewer school runs and a good few hours to really break down where my entry will go (storywise) 

5:44 am - what a fun morning its been laying out my ideas ,while dealing with kids throwing up.

The 5 main quest locations have been roughly outlined.

18:12 pm - This afternoon I worked on the city 

Virelia Prime (city, Even in it's micro size form) which has been planned out along with its shops ect

22.00 pm - I'm pretty happy with today's progress.

I made a bit of headway with database entries ( something i remember Disliking greatly before) 

First set of basic items are in but untested.

First set of skills are in and battle tested.

Secondary main character sprite created.

Made a start on scripting the opening scene.

Side-Note 0.1

After signing up to this Jam (6 days before it started) I read an article on Scientists in Italy that had discovered a way to freeze light.

After signing up to the Jam I played with the idea more and my initial thoughts were to create my entry around this idea with a fantasy story.

 Now, having been a Co developer on Dark Matter Hudokai , I know all about over-scoping your game (it took 12 years total to complete) so I pivoted to a different idea.

I decided after minimising the idea a couple times that a contest with a handful of quests, a tournament and a choice at the end was the way forward for me as a solo developer.

Side note 0.2

NPCs ,additional details and polish in and throughout this game entry will be started once the main story and systems are all in place and working.
