Talk to Aliens: Emoji – First Devlog

Hello!

I’m participating in Mini Jam 185: Aliens with a small project called "Talk to Aliens: Emoji."

👾 Concept:
You’ve been abducted by aliens, and the only way to communicate with them is through emojis!
The aliens show you emojis, and you respond using a single button – short press, long press, or no press.
The meanings of the emojis are entirely up to your interpretation.
😏, 🔥, ⭐, 🤐 – what do they mean to the aliens?
The ending may change depending on the trust you build.

🎮 Current Progress:

• Project set up and organized (Unity folder structure, scenes)

• Itch.io page prepared with basic description

• Core concept and ideas outlined

🖌️ Here’s a sneak peek of the early concept sketch for Talk to Aliens: Emoji!

This shows the planned interactions (short press, long press, double click, or no press) and how the alien speech bubble will work. A timer will be used to show the selection time limit.

💡 Next Steps (Planned):

• Asset preparation or creation (emoji, UI, alien images)

• Input logic setup and emoji display integration

• Design branching endings and implement cutscenes/animations

• Add audio effects, complete WebGL build, and publish the game

Stay tuned for more updates!
Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy this unique journey into alien communication! 🚀
