I've decided to participate in the Week Sauce game jam to find some focus on creating a small game using IOLITE. I'll publish the sources and assets for the game after day 7 of the jam.

This month's theme is "Trapped", so I chose the incredibly creative working title "Trapped Below". Your goal is to leave a room you cannot recall how you got into in the first place.

Here are some notes and videos documenting the progress for each day:

Day 2

Mainly spent my time integrating Ogg Vorbis support into IOLITE's sound system and putting some first sounds into the game.

• Some more scripting/tooling progress
• Tweaked fading of the hints (easing)
• Added sound when a hint appears (to get the player's attention)
• Added placeholder sound for contact events
• Added ambient sound and some sounds to the first cutscenes

Day 1.5

Played around with physics and improved the grabbing mechanic, which will be a central part of the upcoming puzzles.

• Improved grabbing mechanic
• Added some minor details to the room
• Added fuse box as a first "puzzle" and introduction to the controls
• Script-sided tooling for dialogue, hints, and "interactors"

Day 1

Layed down the general concept and overall foundation for "Trapped Below".

• Created first drafts of voxel assets
• Played with lighting to get a feeling for the mood
• Some physics experiments to get ideas for the first puzzles
• Iterated on the grabbing mechanic for objects
• Lots of thinking 🤔
