well im sorry that my art has to suffer since im riding solo and im still learning how to computer art. but im glad to see my humor is highest score LMAO
overall the experience was sorta fun and satisfying. I did the game for myself and practice so basically f the scoring bc i knew i wasnt even aiming for scores. ironically, i did played some good games during the jam that just needed polishing. One i saw was even on Kongregate and got badged. (jealous)
now as a note to self, i liked how i planned this before i make the game in time limit
1) outline in shitty ass spiral notebook and pre-sketch anything im going to draw
2) trying to coming up with decent writings about an organisms' whose primary sense is smell isnt easy
3) writing down a list of booleans or projected attributes is good for the mind, i think less chaotically
4) i had also mapped out the scenes and actions that leads to scene transitions. it's easier to work with this way, from paper to game
5) music is like the VERY last thing i did for sure
