More environment stuff, camera work, scene transitions. Added enemies, and pickups. Don't think I'll be able to get it all in there, but I'll have something!

5 days to go!

Camera work and environment stuff today! Turns out I'm super slow at getting levels together. Might be a problem with the whole finishing on time thing. πŸ˜…

This applies to any workflow and it can truly reduce the stress of starting anything. Truly embrace the finished, not perfect, and the started, not just an idea.

Had a massive amount of work to do this weekend, but was able to squeeze in some invisible wall work, more camera placements/triggers, and scene transitions.

Next, add a couple scares in tomorrow!

Camera Angles testing, environment choices, story decisions?! Yeah, it's all on the list. I think I've kind of got an idea of what atmosphere I want to go for, but still polishing the idea. Practice makes Progress!

Alright so Retro Horror it is! Cool prizes with this game jam so a good chance to stretch the creative muscles. Practicing with camera angles with my first 'scary' game. Try to get the right atmosphere with this one.

Showing small updates shows that the game is still active. I think that helps a ton, for sure.

I think the timing is right and I’ve always wanted to try making a scary game. I have two months to get it out before October.

Ready, set, BOO! πŸ‘»

Whelp, I failed.

Failed to submit before 12 so means I actually sent the game on the 18th not 17th. But that’s okay! Did it even with last minute additions Only had to rebuild 6 times to finish up some bugs.πŸ˜… Hope the artist likes what I came up with!

Oh we are well acquainted, but when there’s no error then getting that little red dot in a spot where you don’t have to read through hundreds of Unity functions that pop off is a bit much. πŸ˜… don’t worry it was repositories that saved me this time. πŸ₯³
