AdventureJam 2015 Retrospective

Game

Above The Waves

10 years ago

Hi people!

Unfortunately this post doesn’t have much in the way of information on Above The Waves’ development, but it will hopefully be interesting nonetheless!

In anticipation of AdventureJam 2016, I’ve put together a retrospective look at last year’s jam, it’s origins, its games and its outcomes.

Be warned, it’s a long article. It’s a good one though, and touches on everything ranging from the judges’ processes for bestowing awards to the games that have had continued development outside of the jam, what tools and engines were used and right down to why AdventureJam exists in the first place.

I hope that you enjoy it and that it stirs up memories of and enthusiasm for making cool games!

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

Some time ago, we posted a screenshot of the Mexico level. A curiosity about it is that, like some other scenarios of the game, it was inspired by a real landscape, The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla. It is one of the natural wonders of the country!
