Development Log…. SRP is a work in progress!

June, 2022

I heard about a Microgrant from the Global Game Jam, to fund the continuation of work on any GGJ game that is intended to be educational.  I applied and won.  We worked all summer to nail down a game design that is inspirational, feasible and expandable.   My blog page contains some posts…

Strategic Repair Protocol is a puzzle game. You help the machines achieve their goals by changing their speeds, and locations…  this changes how fast they work and how much of their products are available for other machines to work on…

First level sketch

Hand drawn Nano-Machines made of brass with levers and open holes where blue "magic" can be seen. Red shapes enter scene on right and blue and purple shapes are collected in buckets on the right. The whole field is a ball pit and the nano machines are in the ball pit, too.

Placeholder art, by Melanie Stegman, for level 3… Steampunk Nano-Machines use Red Bits to create enough Blue and Purple Bobs to fill the buckets… Space and Time can be manipulated… because, well, magic.
