I decided to remake my last entry as the theme fit but w ith better code, art, trying new things and doing a little more. It took double the time! There's issues with it but here's stuff I did for the first time with this jam:

I experimented with state machines, created a settings menu, rebindable keys and default keys so you can reset them, the ability to toggle which aiming/targeting style you prefer, a volume slider, a pause menu which has all those things, a hotbar in which you can select slots by scrolling your mouse or using the number keys, keeping track of everything between scenes, a shop and creating sound effects.

I wish the final result was a bit more impressive looking but I'm very happy to have got something playable from start to end at the very least... even if it was right up until the very last minute! :sweat_smile:

I was so tired throughout this jam and more than a few times I wasn't in the mood. I had the whole range of emotions from motivated and happy to being annoyed and panicking! I almost gave up several times, even as late as an hour and a half before the end because I just thought finishing it was impossible. I'm ready for a good rest now!

I cannot wait to start playing all your games once I've slept, recouped and seen the outdoors! It's going to be so nice just playing games after 72 hours of only focusing on making them!
