Our first ever game jam, and we managed to get a game together. I mean, that's not an easy task. I figured it was going to be a disaster. Scope creep was real and a lot of good ideas left on the cutting room floor but I'm over the moon we managed to get a complete start to finish game created in 3 days.

The original idea for our game was that you collect peaches from the woods. These peaches are tainted, and infect the townsfolk. The more people you infect, the harder it is to escape on day 3. Unfortunately we didnt get time to implement an optional number of peaches, so the whole town has to be fed. (And the game is max difficulty haha!) We created a full 3 day cycle that has a normal mellow town become something more sinister.

We'll be back and ready for the next jam! We learnt a lot and will be avoiding the pitfalls we encountered this time!
