Blob Jump Devlog - Day 14

The time has finally come! today is the end of this year’s @myfirstgamejam, and also the developement of my little game formerly named Blob Jump. I changed it to Blob Climb, and you can download it from Itch.io.

Here’s the download Link

I learned a lot during this jam, from the basics of planning, some new GameMaker tricks, the use of for loops and arrays and also how to make art without even knowing how. Needles to say, I will keep working on othis project since I really fell in love with it while making it.

Also, thank you all for at least seeing what I have made. It’s a new feeling for me and I enjoy just thinking that someone out there liked my work.

I will be right here for the people who want to keep following this account, and you can bet I will be here next year for another shot at this jam (even though it won’t be my first anymore!)

Hey, i am currently experiencing 3am random thoughts so I’m going to dump on wir them here.

This does discuss some topics involving smoking, a mentioned surgery, an overworked mother and fear. If there is any other things in here that is triggering to any one please message me and let me know other than that please read if you are able to thank you and stay safe.

With the my current at home life things are a bit strange. My Dad ,with his recent leg surgery and not being able to come home for weeks, is currently staying up a my grandparents due to their home being more… spacious, i guess. That’s not important though but something that is import, especially context wise to the thought/ ideas I’ve had, is that my mom is the only on who works but she doesn’t only work a lot she is going through nursing school. So my point is my momma is a very tired women which goes with out saying she struggles to get any sleep so she sometimes struggles to get up when she does get some but my though come from this one night i had to wake her and it was a moment of my life i don’t think I can forget.

It was a Wednesday night, i had just got back with my grandmother from church. It was about thirty mins before my mom need to be awake so I just went out back and smoked a bit with my dad and grandmother. It wasn’t until about five or seven minutes before she needed be awake when dad said something about needing to wake her and I was like, “ Don’t worry about I’ll take care of it after I go in get me something to drink,” I still relatively a new smoker as in it still bothers my throat and lungs sometimes not important though. After getting my drink and maybe a snack i sat it done where I was sitting the living room and went to wake up mom.

From the time I have spent on the internet no one really talks about how terrifying it is to wake up your parents even at an older age. It make you feel like your doing something wrong and that’s how felt as slow approached her. At the time the only thing I remember feeling and seeing is fear. And it wasn’t like i fear for my life, it was more of a “ i don’t know what’s happening, i don’t want to fuck up i don’t know what I’m doing “ kind of fear. Due to that unknown and that fear I kinda hesitated before I even touched her or said anything. But I eventually just said whatever and woke her up. I went en gentle and just said quiet but loud enough she understood, “ hey its about a 8:30”.. cause that’s when she usually got up but um even with how gentle I was I still scared her. She jumped back real hard which not only scared her but scared me. And I think the thing that got me and what makes this a memory that will stick to me is that… fear in her eyes as she looked at me. Seeing the kinda fear in her eyes that I saw… i got to admit it hurt like hell. I never would have though that wake my own mother would led me to experience something I never want it experience again.

But that is just along winded telling of the idea I had after this experience i guess. It had me think of what remains of Edith finch, A glorious game with a fantastic but intriguing story. I want take different story’s of my childhood and my siblings and cousins, aunt, uncles etc. and turn them into a game similar to that game. Do you know what i mean, like take the way the story of Edith finch and how it was told but turn it into one about my family, u know?

Idk this just one long rant/ talk about a potential game i could work on i guess. Idk. If anyone sees this and has any thoughts of their own they would like to add just reblog with them or send them in to me anyway you can I guess. Idk i just wanted this off my mind and in a write form.

Chapter 4: Bleeding forest Homeland of the krogues, the bleeding forest gets its name from the golden sap leaking out of its upper branches. The forest is overflowing with life. The Gnarly roots, trunks, and branches of twisted trees spreading in every direction. At the heart of the forest lies the krogue nest, said to be the origin of vigor, a highly addictive substance that provides great joy and life to a person, but slowly warp them into krogue-like creatures. Overall, its my favorite level aesthetically, through that came at the cost of a tileset that's kind of a pain to work with.

I hope to get back to this game soon. But I am seriously thinking in migrating it to GMS.

There is a lot of work to be done, before I can call it game. But I had enough to make a screen mockup.=)
