Dung Beetle - Go on a adventure!

Hi everyone!

We are really excited that the judging time has begun and we can't wait to get your feedbacks :slight_smile:. This gamejam was our first entry as Mineo Games (indie studio from France) and 5th altogother!

In this 3D game, you will play as a Dung Beetle who want to bring food at home. But sometimes the world does not go easy on small creatures :scream:.

Here is a "nospoil" gif to show what the game looks like! dungbeetle.gif

Post-mortem

What went well

  • Efficiency on tools (Unreal Engine, 3dsMax) : it has been two game jams now that we use these tools and we are used to it. We spend more time developing than watching tutorials
  • Distribution of tasks : Trello has helped a lot for the task distribution. Team members are autonomous
  • Fun (as always) : we :laughing: a lot!

What needs to be improved

  • Animation : nearly one night "lost" by trying to rebind the CAT centiped. After several hours with no results we decided to start over and build the animation from scratch.
  • Find an idea (as always) : a lot of time spent on this (nearly 4 hours). Yet, when we began, we were still skeptical :thinking:

Overall, we are very happy with the result. Of course we could have improved the game a little bit more if we had more time. We are very satisfied of what we built, it was what we thought it would be!

Have a good fun playing our game!
