Day 5: Sunday

Now, as you may see, there's not much in the way of notes here. I absolutely regret not keeping track, but we were in an absolute crunch period where everything is being done. Decisions were made on what to keep and what to leave out. We took it to a point of MVP then published it to the GGJ website.

note: we then learned after that the GGJ site locks after a couple of days, so the fixed game is not available on their site. The most up to date version is on Itch.io.

Tasks that I remember doing:

  • Finishing off audio recordings and adding sound effects to NPCs.

  • Creating the statues & question for the major puzzle.

      • we discovered there was still confusion in the team on how this puzzle worked, so will see in playtesting how it goes.

      • The puzzle was not completed in time for the GGJ submission but is available on Itch.io.

  • Edited the opening scene.

  • Tutorial song recorded.

  • Promo screenshot for the game.

  • Submission of details and project to the GGJ website.

Voice Acting and SFX

When you have limited time to make a game and yet you want some audio dialogue or SFX, it's just quicker to record them yourself.

Sometimes, it's quicker to record your own foley then search for some.

Full tutorial song.

I caved and recorded the song and made 3 versions to choose from. We thankfully went with the version where you could barely tell it was me. I'm soooo sorry for anyone who has to listen to my voice. Don't worry, I fixed this post-jam and gave you the option to opt out.

Opening and Ending Video

For the opening video, I took Katie's video she sent me and edited out the start and end. This was due to the change in narrative direction.

I quickly sketched up the opening picture so we had an establishing shot. I found a photograph online of an old orphanage and created the image from that. I then added music, sound effects, and subtitles.

The images for the ending video came in last minute and I had to slap together something to add. Only the images going for about 1 second each and music was added. After the jam I was able to fix the video (see on Post Game Jam page in my Devlog)


The music that was chosen for this ending scene was
"Six Feet Under" from Dark Fantasy Studio.
