Our creation is cursed and I regret drawing for it. May God forgive us

…but it’s cursed for sure. The only progress report from first time developers and artist:

Incredibly anxious of trying out 3D for the first time, hope it goes well

Holy Cow, we done did it https://kukaracila215.itch.io/below

Almost missed the jam cause of my co-dev's faulty equipment. I will pester him about using laptops for all of his work yet again, those cursed machines are not to be trusted. Yet it was just bios problems and WE. ARE. IN. And I'm definitely not ready...

We dun it

...at least from my perspective. I truly failed as a game designer here. I have focused on one thing and we hahe outdid ourselves in the Mood category, but in such I have neglected all the other parts of our "game". And so we haven't even made a game. We made something that was theoretically good in my head only. I neglected the ending, I neglected the "monster", I neglected the player experience. Because I was inexperienced. And so I will learn and I will adapt. I will expand on this, I will become more effective. Not just as an artist, not just as a programmer or sound designer, or whatever is needed, but as a person who can direct myself and anyone who makes the game with me. We will make a better game next game jam, you can bet.

Now to the good part: holy moly did I manage to create an atmosphere with simple filters and free assets. I set a goal to make a game that looks like I wanted it to in 3 days and I almost completed it. Yes, I did not manage to fully translate my vision to the screen, but what I did net us 163th place in the Mood category and that is quite a bit better than what we managed to achieve before. Yay! Is this gonna reinforce my desire to create the atmosphere for the game more than the actual gameplay? Most likely. What am I gonna do about it? I am gonna find a way to translate that passion into the gameplay features.

In conclusion: some personal problems and shortcomings were revealed and will be addressed in the future. I do not know how much I will be able to do but progress is already being made.

Great vegetables!

This is going poorly

Imma be honest, I don't know what happened in these past three days. The sheer lack of focus, bunch of small technical difficulties with good ol' Unity, my lack of understanding and stupid bad luck with internet and electricity cutouts are just the surface of all the things that went wrong with this game. I did the wrong thing, I focused on the wrong parts and in the end... Well, you can see for yourself. If you see this I implore you - if you play this game, rate it with ALL HONESTY
