A late entry but I should be able to finish in time (despite exams in the middle of January ) I've been lurking around this forum for a long time and I'm excited to finally join the fun with something of my own.

The game will probably be a short and fairly simple afair. My initial plan was something like a pedestrian GTA Sokoban clone... Basically a little guy running around town looking for crates to push, things to collect and maybe finding love

At the very least you'll get to push and puzzle some crates around.

Here's a simple screenshot of the goings on. So far I have simple tile movement, basic collision detection, animation etc.:

Next is adding NPCs and shifting between different city areas and entering buildings.

It's written in Java using the rather excellent Slick 2D Game Library.

I'll hopefully put up a simple demo soon and I hope you will help test it on different platforms and systems.

Here is a quick second shot of a usual day at the office.

Grand Theft Auto / Sokoban. That's a combination I've never imagined.

Looks good so far, though it feels like the buildings should have a visible "top" so they don't look flat against the ground.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, where did you find the computer in the office? I've been trying to find good monitor graphics in the assemblee mess.

ditto here, where did you get the set to make the office, including the chair?

Thanks for the feedback 
I haven't found anything suitable to use as a top for buildings. But perhaps just a simple square in the same color as the edge will work.

The computers and such are from Tocky's pixel things:

The game really has nothing to do with GTA - my first thought was just to combine the open ended sand box type map with classic crate pushing puzzles. Not sure how far I'll get with that, though.

Looks great!

Unfortunately all my time has been spent on preparing for an exam (involving actual assembly programming  ) so there'll be no game from me before the deadline.

I've gotten pretty far, though, so I plan to release something later on. The little crate pushing guy is so close to finding love in Crate Town!
