oh also heres some more cutting room floor stuff like the obstacles and interactables that didnt make it in plus some of the stuff I forgot to post like the floor tiles

Ill probably make a longer post about the experience/the lessons learned but to sum it up it was one of the best weekends of my life. I was beaming all day Sunday on like 8 hours sleep in 2 days and had such a blast making something with my team! So thank you Chase, John, Eliot, Joe, and Antoine!

Finally on the final day we had to make some hard decisions on cuts to get the game done including removing the flavor text, cutting interactable objects meant to distract the teachers, some sound effects for said interactables, but what was left was a fun little experience! that you can play here!

Then as we worked into the night the pathing system was finished and I started to place and clean up the level making all the dimensions correct and adding in the art to make it look better and at this point it started to take shape

Day 2 was then building the level inside of unity. This was my first time doing this and was incredibly anxious about it but through the support of my teammates I made the first rough build of the level which looked like this (I was still trying to figure out how to do the floors lmao

Originally had a plan to have a system where you can talk to certain kids and staff for jokes and advice on how to navigate the room but we ran out of time however Im gonna work on getting it back in in my free time! Heres a link to the story notes and the 16 jokes I wrote that didnt make it in lmao

characters cont....

Once we had an idea of who did what I started right away with making all the sprite faces for everyone in the room so I immediately got to work on all the voice lines and the sprite faces for everyone. These were broken up into 4 categories. Happy kids(Blue), Angry kids(red), Staff,named characters

I was tasked with writing the story, doing most of the art, and the main level design. Here's the draft I did of the level we ended up building along with some of the cutscenes I drew

The Jam theme was Bubbles! So me and the team went through a few ideas. The first was a platformer where the player would be bouncing on their bubble butt but that was ultimately scratched for a stealth game involving your own and others personal bubbles.
