Hey again, it feels like it's been a while since I've done a game jam...
I've been wanting to do a longer jam for a while, and the major jam just so happened to get announced, so I figured I'd do it!
I've been practically obsessed with making a NieR-styled hack-and-slash game for months at this point, and the culmination of that is this game right here.
I may bitten off more than I could chew with this one, I was initially planning to have 6 colors, each with different effects that would change knockback, increase stun duration, etc. Clearly, I did not do that...

A lot of the players base movement and camera code was reused from something I was working on back in June, but everything other than walking, dodging and jumping code was made during the jam.

I was surprised by how difficult making enemies was- a lot of it was probably just because I'm inexperienced with navmeshes and pathfinding. I have an idea for another jam that's coming up that would be a good excuse to get better with those. 👀

Music and sound effects are also something I'm noticing my deficit of skill in. I've hung up my proverbial piano and decided to just use pre-made music for my games. The problem with that is it's very hard to find something that matches the feel of the game... whether that's because I didn't make it, or because I can't find the ones that would fit, I'm not entirely sure...

Sound effects are literally just whatever I generated this morning with JFXR, I check out a few different variations but there's almost no tweaking lol.

Anyways, I'm a little sad that I couldn't achieve my lofty goals for this game, and that it became merely a shadow of what I had hoped. But that's just how game jams are.
Besides, I feel like it actually turned out decently fun. Maybe that's just because I made it though...

I think that's all I have to say here.
I'm very tired.
I'm going to bed. Have a good night if it's night for you, or a good day if not.
