JOLLY 4 and my opinion as J4 developer


Introduction

I had worked on Jolly 4 from August 2024, as a programmer. This game was a sip of fresh air after my big break for a half of year. While my work there, I met very good people, and be honest, that was my first team-work experience, I learn much things, what will encrased my dev skills


'Bout dev stuff

While my work in the project I (and other coders too) always got stuck somewhere while doin' assigments and tasks. Bad documentating or full its absence made dev process very slow. And mustta say, from the August to November on office part work only 3 programmers (de-facto 2). Only at the begin-middle of the November we've go 3 new. Yeah, that help us, but we fired deadlines somewhere... 3-4 times XD

I can not say, that was stressed or something, while work I relax, I love gamedev as my main hobbie and wanna return to it after small deadline

All programmer did a big job, the most of all - @hunterallen_ and @Zomlord

I just programed AI logic for Maxie, George and Tal; Finish some night mechanis (for example, vent system failure). One of the programmer - @Decrypt , made cool draft for one Maxies quicktime attack, encrable work... what was never see the light, unfortunely :(

Also I do some documentation and reorganization stuff, but this is not interesting, but any way...
I will show some screenshots of project, what I do

Probably soon you will see more than just two screenshots


Conclusion

Really sad to see hows everthing what me and my teamates have done just burn in one day. All time, resources, plans... everything what we tried to do from fans to fans now don't have any sence... that was poor day for me (only my girlfriend and by pills help me to stay calm and adeqate irl right now, read about F61.0). Btw, I found out that I have Anxiety-depressive syndrome resently (two weeks ago bruh)

And again, big thank you @IvanG for giving me and other to do great stuff in something big and enrable
