Everything is a conspiracy now...



I saw the announcement for this Game Jam and signed up right away ... I didn't know what I was getting into

We are a  professional team, but we had never joined a game jam, the main challenge here, was to develop what we wanted to do, in such a short time. Usually this type of games takes us 5 days without problems, but we had only less than 20 hours to finish the product... phewww! 

The idea arose from seeing the main current conspiracy theories. Each conspiracy had something in the game, to represent it. Only with figures, we made world organizations, illuminati, ETs, normal people, who, in turn, behave aggressively. The circle represents ████████████████ █████████████████████ ██████████████████████████████████████████████ ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ██████████████████ and the triangles, of course our beloved ██████████ , ████████ and ██████ █████ ███ ██████████ . Last one the beautiful background represents every ██████████ ███████████████ █████████████ █████████████ ████████ █████████████████████ ████████ ██████████ ███████████████████

Once we did the logos, UI interface, characters design and stages came the program part.
I usually  don't have so many troubles to do what we try to do. 

Only for reference, animations loops.

The characters animations, interfaces, props, and crowns, everything is there.. Josy and Michelle's art is perfect!

They did an incredible and beautiful job, Josy expressing Kandinsky's art-like ideas and representing the 2D world as best as possible, for the entire interface. This was stressful for the little time to do it. Michelle's animations are incredible, so with such basic characters, they have so many feelings represented and perfect loops... but... I had problems with the AI implementation.


Trianglis Animator


Squary Animator

I wasted too much time with the illuminatis, aliens triangles from hell... I did an AI program with some weights, to chase, attack, or sleep... but may be for fatigue or stress, I didn't find the error.   The triangles don't change to attack mode never... I wasted almost 5 hours... 

The triangles walk and chase the character with navmesh on the "3d" floors... there are some kind of artificial intelligences done and they work petty well, so there are some real good pro statements here.

So I run to finish the controls on the main 2D character,  half adorable, half alienated, The goal was to get 8 crowns to open the door on the pyramid base, but the damn onTriggerEnter and Exit didn't work well either. 15 minutes before the deadline, I put the final scene... and if the character takes even a crown, then the end occurs.

The elevators, were a nice thing to do, but I run only a trigger collision, and moved the character without any animation... hehe 

Jumps are random... and well... At least Squary can punch the evil triangles... 

I wonder if what went wrong is the fault of ████████ ████████ ████████████ █████████████████████ ███████ ████ ██████ and love to everyone!! 

This is our first Jam... and we enjoy so much the race against our-self.
