CATNET3000 - TalTech game jam game
A short platformer game (1026×800 px)
2024
Incomplete little platformer game about letting go of the old internet, made in the Godot engine, as a group effort. You play as a cursor in the form of a cat and platform through a tactile 2000s website before it collapses as it gradually goes offline.
(the animations / sprites I made for the game: player character, spinning CD collectible)
CatNet3000 is playable and downloadable on itch.io.
We named our group Team Hyppekass as a sort of reference to Tiigrihüpe, which was the initiative that brought computers and internet access to Estonian schools.
Sven Mantsik (@ seitsmes_mnt, me): I did the sprite art, sprite animation, some lore writing, and itch.io page design.
Caroline Pajusaar (@ artsycreaturez) - background art, level design.
Karu Kaljuste (@ libakary) - programming, game design.
Anni Hõ (@ 4nnih6) - audio, game design, writing.
Made in 47 hours during the TalTech GameCamp game jam of March 2024, theme: "Into the Unknown." It got 6th place!! (Out of 28 games.)
This game is still very incomplete with a few things missing and a lot of things not working. It's not really completable.
Here's an overview of some animations, assets and backgrounds that didn't make it into the game. There's also development and planning sketches.
