Project Description
Another Gamejam project, this time for the FGJ23! Our team was quite big this time which was both an advantage as well as caused some problems with communication. Our game is a 2D endless shooter type of game, where you play as Solid Tooth, who fights against tooth goblins (hammaspeikko in Finnish folklore) with a toothpaste gun.
Task Description
For this project I was originally a character designer as well as a character animator. However, because of previously mentioned communication issues, I also ended up making all of the UI art.
Problems and Solutions
Our teams big size caused some issues when working with a small project like this, some people didn't really have anything to do, while other were working full time just get something that resembles a game out. Our original plans for the game (2D-sprites in a 3D-environment) proved to be too challenging for us at that time, so we had to scrap everything the last minute and basically remake everything. This meant that a huge chunk of content (including my animations and graphics) remained unused in the final product. However, this is a learning opportunity for us, to communicate better next time, and maybe in the future with more experience in making games, we can make the original plan for this project to come true.
