AdventureJam 2015 Retrospective


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!

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like 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)

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...
