making a video game in 72 hours ($999,999,999999.9) (Jargin No.12)

One week later! I've done the game jam.

If you haven't read my last blog... last weekend (Friday - Sunday, 72 hours) I participated in a game jam, an event where all contestants have a limited amount of time to make a video game from scratch within the given time frame and following a given limitation.

The theme was Horror, with a limitation of "there must be a frog". So...


Here's what I ended up making!

It was a very educational and fun experience, especially anxiety-inducing and mind-numbing. I happened to catch a fever on the very first day of the jam and it really hit me bad, body hurt the whole time, eyes hurt, head hurt, throat hurt, tired. hot. The fever wasn't great. But I'm here and I'm alive, and that's all that matters

I'm very happy with what I was able to crank out in that time though. Given that I'd never fully completed a game in Godot and I had almost no modeling experience and I had no character rigging experience and I had barely any audio engineering experience, I really should've flopped, but I guess I managed to make do with what I had.

I will say though, audio engineering is a lot more fun than I thought it was initially. Although it took up probably a good 35% of my development time, I was really happy with some of the things I was able to make out of free CC0 sounds.

Anyway, with the end of the voting period being here (12:20 AM Friday...) it's time to see what ranking I got. I expect that out of the 94 games, I at least got in the top 15. If not, I look like fool mctool over here

And the results are.......

#22!

oh fooly me fooly my.... i was pretty close i mean I'm pretty happy with 22. Out of the five categories (Presentation, Concept, Use of Limitation, Enjoyment and Overall), my highest score was in Presentation (4.571 raw score, 3.825 modified), and lowest was in Enjoyment (3.571 raw, 2.988 mod). Here is a link to the ranking info (and game as well) in case you're interested in seeing other people's stuff (and mine....)!

I want to give a shout out to this guy who was playing an hour ago. What a special way to end the night oh my godness
