This is the first devlog entry for the Game Off 2018 game jam

I want to make a space traveler game with my pug character Johnson from my other game. Johnson's mission is to warn the space colonies on planet Pluto of the imminent Leviathon Solar System wide space invasion. Johnson will have to travel planet to planet while traveling the specified space tunnels to get to his destination. This is a simple spec sheet that I'll be using to guide my work. I'll be using Unity and posting my learning's and my difficulties here as well.

Johnson the pug is on a space mission! He has been tasked with warning the Pluto space colony of the oncoming Leviathon Solar System alien invasion! Help Johnson the pug reach the space colony located on Pluto!  You will have to use your extreme piloting skills to get Johnson from planet to planet!

This will be a die and learn type of game. You must die to learn how to play and you have to learn where it is that you mess up.

Goals

• development speed
• adding small details in the game to make it more enjoyable
• creating randomized tunnels for different kinds of obstacles and tunnels for the player
• this will also be a type of game that I've not made before so it should be fun and challenging to develop it
