World 1 of post ludum version

Befor the Jam 

The combo started for us on 2 o’clock am on Saturday. We started to think about the theme on Friday.
I personally has preferred “growing” for a puzzle game. But when the final voting starts “planet”, “space”, “worlds” came up.
I also translated  the themes in swissgerman and ask my son’s (9) for a game in mind.
The best was chaos = cleaning the Child’s Bedroom.
For Connected Worlds it was something with a elevator.

Inside the Jam

Saturday
We start on 8 o’clock. While  I was driving to Sammakko, the closing elevator door was spooking around in my mind.
Our goal was every-time a working game.
So we started with 3 screens (intro, game and end-screen) and keep them running.
We think about using  Tiled for our main tool to build the worlds without knowing anything about it [-], a big mistake.
The end of the first JAM day was on 2 0’clock in the morning.

Sunday
I was creating the animation live on twitch the hole afternoon [-].
Loosing a lot of time.

Monday
Normal working until 4 o’clock pm, then starting to build content until 1 o’clock.
During the night I ask [+] dark3zz if he can help us with a matching background music from his archive. He gave us this beautiful peace of music.
**Thank You**
