screamjam2024 - Postmortem

what went wrong:

• started jamming super late, had just 1 day and a half to finish :(
• spend too much time overthinking the first idea which was to make a hybrid of gegege no kitarou with Valis… don’t know if I succeeded in my attempt but i’m happy with the result
• spend too much time on the character design and animations, which end up being my favorite thing about this project so it was time well spent
• could not decide for a more storydriven or arcade, in the end I decided for a more simple approach and discover a simple way to do a chase sequence on a platformer, which for me is gold

and that’s it, i hope to finish this one

what went right:

• although the project is obviously missing everything that makes a game… you know.. a game. the project backbone is all there
• I’m really happy about the character animation/design, is super easy to animate and it looks cool
