Just a quick update about what I'm doing right now, my uni work is coming along nicely, I'll have some updates to show soon. However, I recently took part in my first solo game jam that went on from 8th February - 11th February.
I've been wanting to start doing regular game jams for a long time, so I finally caved in and decided to do one. The jam I took part in was the unreal engine winter game jam 2018, where I worked solo to create a game to the given theme "On thin ice". In the end I made a game called "Cooly's Funky Ride"
Cooly's Funky Ride is a short auto runner focused on precise jumps and player decision making. The goal is to reach the portal at the end of the course whilst picking up collectibles along the way to increase your score.
For this project I animated a character again, character animation seems to be something I want to get good at, so the game jam was the perfect opportunity to test how quickly I could model, rig and animate a character.
I'm quite proud of the outcome, the game can be played to completion, there are a bunch of animations to give the character a bit of personality and people that have managed to play the game say that it is addictively challenging and fun.
I'll definitely be doing more game jams in the near future, but right now I'm going to pass out and try and sort out my sleeping pattern. Throughout the 3 days I only got about 10 hours sleep so I'm gonna hibernate now.
Here's a link to the game download, so you can play it if you want:
