Game
Velcro (C64)

I survived #bitbitjam4


I was planning to attend bitbitjam4 for a long time. I was already determined to make a C64 game, like in last year, again. Before the topic was announced I was dreaming of making a simulation game, probably with historical background if the the theme would allow it.
Then the theme was announced: “Velcro sheep” and a restriction “one button”. To be honest, I was thinking of letting it go, since I could not think of a single idea that would address the topic in a meaningful way and allow me to make a game that I would like. So I did nothing for 4 days, but the contest did not get off my mind. Finally, I had an idea of a dog that gathers sheep by attaching them to its velcro-like fur. Well, the idea was there, but there was not much time left to make the assets and to code. And a friend once told me about something like “testing”, never heard about it. Surprisingly, I managed to come up with a game in the end, but I was not able to find time for the sounds or music. Don’t be sad about this, you most likely wouldn’t appreciate my self-made audio anyway.

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.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
