#adventurejam ends!

Game

Brilliance: An interstellar journey

11 years ago

Congratulations to all the participants! I can’t really believe that at least 43 people played my game, and three rated it fairly positively on GameJolt!

I admit the endings were a bit abrupt, because right in the middle of the jam, our brand new baby was born! Hooray! So I made sure I actually finished the game before the jam ended, but nuance and “world building” were thrown out the window. :D

This was my very first gamejam, and my very first publically-released, finished game. It was a great learning experience! I still haven’t figured out how to create an HTML5 version of the game. In theory, the tools allow exporting to HTML5, but I wasn’t able to figure that out in time for the jam.

I saw some great games made using Unity. I’ve only used Adventure Game Studio and web-based creators like Twine and Quest before. Above the Waves used SLUDGE, which I hadn’t heard about before. It shows that the choice of game engine can matter only a little for a game’s success.

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
