The adventure jam results are out

Alluvium has won Developers’ Choice, as well being the Judges Pick from Jupiter Hadley!

We did great in the community voting too, getting 2nd place overall.

There’s some amazing other entries, so be sure to check out the full results here: http://jams.gamejolt.io/advjam2018/games.

What’s next?

I’ve been busy with other things since finishing Alluvium (see our blog at http://powerhoof.com), but I’m keen to do more adventure game stuff soon!

I’d love to do a 3rd installment of games in this style, so I’m thinking about story stuff for that, and I also want to have a crack at making a control scheme that works with point and click but also with controller. The plan is to have direct control over the direction the character looks with the analog stick. Holding a button will walk the character in that direction, and indicators will show when there’s an interaction you can perform.

Work in progress shots

For fun I thought I’d share a couple of work in progress shots of the game with my programmer art. I make the game fully playable in this style, and Barney uses it as a guide to the final art. Then it’s easy to swap the final art in as it’s completed.

I put little notes on a separate layer so it’s easier for Barney to work out what things mean.

All the best!
