Spider Dance was my first, fully functioning game I've ever made. It was a small project made in XAMK Game Jam II by my team member Ester Auroora Carreon and I. We teamed up in Discord where bothos us were looking for a team and desided to work as a pair. All communication was done in Discord since we both were working in different campuses. The game itself is about spider who wonders in the night and tries to find its pray. The Game Jam theme was "Art" and we desided to make an experience/realization that you may have when visiting an art exhibition. The experience is the feeling of finding something new and surprising.
Carreon was mainly in charge of the game desing, the video editing and the art and I did all the programming, composed the musics for the game, recorded the sound effects and build the game. The game was build in Unity game engine, music was composed in MuseScore 3 and sound effects were recorde in Audacity.
This being the first game project I was working on of course there was a handfull of problems and difficulties to tackle. Getting to know the game engine, "actual" coding and building the game so it's playable.
