A "Baseball Cooking Simulator." Achieve your baseball dreams--by preparing food for minor league players. Learn how baseball life isn't all it's cracked up to be (if you're not in the majors). Made with GameMaker Studio 1.4.

Thoughts:

This was my first game jam as a dev (I've done music/sound for Global Game Jam a couple times), and it was a great experience! I haven't been working with GameMaker for too long so it was interesting to combine the things I did know how to do with what I had to learn on the fly. I hadn't done any work with surfaces in GameMaker before, but I ended up learning how they work in order to draw my peanut butter or jelly "spread" into a surface, turning it into a sprite, and using that for collision checks.

Of course I had to scrap that system due to problems I was running into with GameMaker's HTML5 export (the problem seems to be calling spritecollisionmask() with a sprite created on the fly, but I don't know why it won't let me do that!). I managed to throw together an alternate system in the last couple hours--it wouldn't be a game jam game if it wasn't held together with twigs and spit, right? Thanks to Cal Clarke for the music, which perfectly fit my request for "Take Me Out To The Ballgame meets 'human music' from Rick and Morty."
