Project Description
This is a game jam project made for XGJ23. Your are playing as a little flame called sparky, and your job is to find all of the other little flames lost in the swamp to make the bonfire light up again. There are also some swamp monsters wandering to wetlands, which you have to watch out for!
Task Description
I was once again the 2D-artist for this project. I made the character and other game object sprites (but not the skybox and grass which were some other assests chosen by our team lead) as well as graphics for the UI-elements. This time we decided to animate the chacters in Unity by "rigging" the characters sprites for each limb instead of me drawing every single frame (frame-by-frame technique). I did not get to do the rigging and animating of my sprites this time, but I definetly want to learn it in the future.
Problems and Solutions
Suprisingly, this jam went pretty smoothly on my side, I got everything done in time. How ever, it seemed like our team did habe some problems with shaders and animations for example, but we still got a working game made. Communication worked pretty well which was refreshing as most of my other jams were a bit lacking in that department. I think our biggest "problem" was that our team was pretty big, which meant that others had less work than others, which meant that some ended up being tired than others.
