My First Ever Game Jam!



Since 4pm yesterday, I've been working solidly alongside my 5 fellow teammates from InKUbator.
The theme randomly chosen was "Creepy but Cute," (One that I suggested!)

This meant a lot of fun coming up with the concepts, game mechanisms and visuals in such a short time! And so, Team Jamulous proudly present;


The basic idea involved a child collecting lost pages from a "Monster Book"containing the knowledge to befriend seemingly hostile monsters! Some monsters are calmed through food and others through music.

The Creepy but Cute Monster Book!

The hardest part of the experience was accepting how little time I had; and as a result forcing myself to limit details on the art assets. I learned some valuable lessons!

Sprite sheets:


Character








Sleepy Rat Monster


Bunny Monster

Fish Monster

Purple Bunny Monster
Rhinobeetle Monster!

Inventory art:
Helpful Items in Befriending Monsters

Platforms:

Grass, branches, water

Nature!

Trees, grass clump

Pages of the Monster Book, with helpful advice on befriending the crazy creatures!
(There's even a secret gold bonus page, with the craziest creatures of all...)









Last but not least, a selection of snapshots documenting the last 24 hours!

We got off to a strong start!

Our workstation!
Our room; one of many!! (Dinner time!)

Enthusiasm triumphs over sleep deprivation...just about!
