This is my second game, and my first game jam so it means a lot to me that you're taking the time to do so.\n\nMy first game was similar... a ball you roll down the field.

Everything was made from cubes, spheres, and cylinders.\n\nIn this game I took it up a notch by learning ProBuilder, and how to shape the terrain. I also built some new, more organic shapes, and learned how to make a glass texture. Coupled with the cotton candy colors, and the pink fog, it gave the game a more dreamy look. I also added the ability to \"collect\" the crystals, and gave it a cool explosion when doing so.\n\nI tried to figure out how to add a score for the crystal pick ups, but I wasn't able to figure that out in time. Instead I added a little creature to float around the scene and give it more life. It took a few different tests to get the little fairies to move around, but I finally found a great script that made them move around randomly. It added a bit of life to the area.\n\nI should have added some music, but I kept saving that till last because I wanted to make my own so the game was all me... that was a mistake. I'll be adding some after voting is over.\n\nHere is a video about my first game, and what I learned to make this new game (in 48 hours):\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vcL5zgCceWQ","comments":0,"created":"2020-10-05T23:37:38Z","files":[],"files-timestamp":0,"id":228199,"love":0,"meta":[],"modified":"2020-10-05T23:50:06Z","name":"Ludum Dare Post Mortem: Cotton Candy Dreams!","node-timestamp":"2020-10-05T23:50:06Z","parent":226055,"parents":[1,5,9,212256,226055],"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/cotton-candy-dream\/ludum-dare-post-mortem-cotton-candy-dreams","published":"2020-10-05T23:50:06Z","scope":"public","slug":"ludum-dare-post-mortem-cotton-candy-dreams","subsubtype":"","subtype":"","type":"post","version":690465},"node_metadata":{"n_key":"228199","n_urlkey":"366305","n_parent":"226055","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/cotton-candy-dream\/ludum-dare-post-mortem-cotton-candy-dreams","n_slug":"ludum-dare-post-mortem-cotton-ca","n_type":"post","n_subtype":"","n_subsubtype":"","n_author":"212108","n_created":"1601941058","n_modified":"1601941806","n_version":"690465","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"source_url":"https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/cotton-candy-dream\/ludum-dare-post-mortem-cotton-candy-dreams","text":"Thank you everyone who plays and votes.
