Game Jam: Global Flavoured

So, I participated in Global Game Jam 2018, and oh boy, it was a blast! Here’s the end result:

Here’s how this came to be:   Throughout the holidays, I had been pretty burnt out from working on games so I hadn’t any motivation to create anything...so I owned it, and I did nothing but play games and relax in my time off.   This proved very helpful as I am coming into my second year of studies in game dev and that much needed rest has given me the motivation to make things again.   I started off wanting to be in a team of complete strangers. In the end, I couldn’t find a team that I would fit well in, so I paired up with my good friend Gene, who I had worked with previously. Best guy, great programmer, puts up with my shit: 10/10.   We then ran into another programmer who was looking for a team to join. He wasn’t as experienced as other programmers, and he only did game dev as a hobby, but was quite capable and contributed quite a lot.   We were given our theme, and we were off. We didn’t have an artist so we just had to make the most of it and just go full minimalism. This helped with our mechanics idea generation but also hindered it. We had a great idea, we wanted to go far with it, but struggled thinking easy-to-implement interactions.   In the end, I believe we did really well with what we had, and it’s proud moment for me to be able to look back on a game that I made and be happy with what I accomplished.

Oh yeah,

I also decided that I needed a break from working on our game, so I decided to make some music for my friends 80′s neon puzzle game. 30 minutes later... You can listen here: https://soundcloud.com/deadthread/echo-command-theme

GGJ, смена движка и pixel art

Тезис: нужно начать регулярно работать над проектом

Global Game Jam

Я смог поучасвовать в джмем! Да ещё в каком! Описывать я, конечно, ничего не буду :P, но что я вынес в умственом уж смысле

Так давайте по пунктам:

1. Я не могу работать на unity с моим железом. Это бесконечная компиляция скрипта убивает меня

2. Я потренировался в написание сюжета и диз. дока. Этим я и занимался в основном ещё на плойке играл

3. В 3 ночи может резко измениться концепт игры и это хорошо

New Engine?

Думаю между Defold и Godot. Пока выгрывает второй только из-за того, что Defold как-то мутно всё хранит в облаке. Может их выкупять китайцы и все мои искходники уплывут да, они кому-то нужны

Pixel art

Да, пока просто изучаю. А то купил планшет для osu!, нужно же оправдывать покупки!

P.S. Теперь на аве призрачек :3

Global game jam 2018 is over and this is what we have created during this weekend!

We worked in a group of 6 people and I made graphics for the game :)

You play as a ghost bird and for some reason haunting your old bird school, the game concept was to fly around as the ghost and snatch the bird students’s phone messages and deliver them to another bird student. Which can be both good or bad. But we didn’t have time to fix everything so it’s more or less just flying around, still feel free to try it out here: https://globalgamejam.org/2018/games/bmsbird-message-service

END OF TRANSMISSION - 2018 - Unreal Engine 4

EARTH IS DESTROYED. FIND THE LIGHT.

Our GGJ18 puzzle game, where you play as an alien aligning ancient light pylons to extract data from a ruined Earth.

I worked on the project with 5 others, my focus being on programming and particle systems.

#GlobalGameJam2018

This was my second experience of #gamejam.

Our host was OldSkullGames studio.

#transition was the subject of this #GlobalGameJam.

This experience was way much better than the previous one. I felt chill during the whole event.

This time we were 3 : 2 programmers and me. My team is in the left corner in the bottom (Photo by OldSkullGames).

-=You can get our game here=-

Our major goal was to make a simple game that works, and only then to add some features/tutorials and other stuff.

Our working process was well-managed. This time, I asked the programmers which graphic element I had to provide at each stage of our work. By doing so, I managed not to exhaust myself during these 48 hours by making a lot of useless stuff.

This Game Jam and my team mates gave me an opportunity to try a new graphic technique which I will soon present on my Behance page : I merged watercolor painting with digital art. It was appreciated it in our game.

During this Game Jam I learned an important lesson : even if you want to make a simple 2D game, you have to be a little bit familiar with 3D technics. So I am more motivated now learning #Blender. Besides, 3D games with fancy graphics look really awesome, like this game (try with joysticks) created by our colleagues.

Are there anyone who learned the 3D modeling/animation by himself/herself ? How was it ?

WE DID IT! In 48 hours we made a game! Thank you to Christian and Jeff for being stellar tea-mates. If anyone wants to play CIVIL DISCOURSE you can check it out here: https://globalgamejam.org/2018/games/civil-discourse
