After a lot of mucking about in Unity trying to get movement animations in I found out about 2D blend trees so now I have decent movement animations (Some of the in-betweens are messed up but other than that I'm happy!!)

Did anyone working on car games NOT spend a ridiculous amount of time as a child playing with matchbox cars?!

I spent hours at a time building sweet off road tracks using clay and driving matchbox cars around on them. Super pumped for these games. That figure 8 especially, reminds me of Super Off Road for NES which I loving loved.

Today, everyone who is cool in IRC saw the light and decided that Processing is awesome.

Do YOU think it's awesome? If not, why aren't you cool? You should probably check out Stone Soup, a resource (made by InternetJanitor) for teaching Processing to teenagers, and learn Processing and make a game and submit it to this jam.

You're not uncool, are you?!

Who is going to judge on this prize and the similar Unity one? Is it the SA judges or someone from Epic and Unity?

I would assume it's whichever game gets the highest score and fits the criteria.

We're going to judge those categories.

Judges will treat it as it's own category. Due to the way we're doing judging this year there is no "Highest score" everything is rated from one to five, whole numbers only. The deliberations will be used to rank the top 12 games (2 top picks per judge), and nominate them for category awards.

Keep in mind you can only win a single category. But in the instance of a Unity game winning "Game of the Year", that Unity game will likely be the top contender for" Best Unity Game" as well. If that happens we'll let the winner decide if they want the big box of prizes or the Unity License.

Trails will be coming soon! I kind of went the opposite direction with cuteness though, sorry :(

Added a zoom for when you die as well. Sorry for the GIF spam but I'm pretty happy with how much progress I've made in a day after scrapping all the previous stuff

Attacking is now (sort of) in, also got the basic level stuff in so I can now work on actually making this a game!


Having a blast so far even if I have to step poo poo up if I'm actually going to finish this on time! (A wiser dev would probably prototype the actual gameplay before going crazy modelling and animating poo poo but heeey)

Gameplay :v:

Actually it's a shmup where you can't shoot, and instead of shooting you defeat enemies by hitting them, and hopefully launching them into other enemies which in turn might hit more enemies etc (Basically playing pool but on a bike with a baseball bat) actually typing this out it's like literally the same game as polo-rican but more of a traditional scrolling arcade shmup (please don't sue me)
