For you post jam version, putting in some 2D sprites in place of the cubes would definitely bring back that nostalgia for the old PSone era sports games where you had all the cardboard people in the audience.

I simply have guys cheer as the imaginary line of the wave passes them.  The length of the cheer has some randomness added, and there is a chance to not take part in the wave at all.  This chance is inversely proportional to the strength of the wave.  \nReally happy with how it turned out, glad it fooled you into thinking there might be more complexity than that :).  I spent way too much time on trying to get a realistic wave though, at the cost everything else haha.  But it was a fun experiment, and that's what jams are for.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"blobo","author_uid":"1008715","time":"2020-05-11T17:11:13Z","epoch":1589217073,"modified":1589217073,"text":"I love the take on the theme! As a player I wish my characters could stay up as long as I hold space, and drop back down when I let go. It felt like the timer-based standing duration was too short, and they sat down too early.
