WEEK 9: Game Jam - Noah

While we did just have a week long break not too long ago, where we didn't really take a proper break from working on the project, we now have a proper week break from working on this project by doing the GAMESNOW game jam. For this I teamed up with my 2 friends Thena and Kaz, and using the theme of cute decided to make a cozy puzzle game featuring cute cats for the jam. The style of puzzle game we were going for was quite akin to the itch game "Triad". In this game, you are trying to fit a polycule onto the same bed and making sure they all have a good night's rest, each person in the polycule (a total of 3) all had different shapes that they slept in but also had different things they would do during the night. So not only did you have to make sure they all fit onto the bed, but that their night interaction wouldn't cause them to have a bad sleep. This was the idea we were trying to go for but unfortunately couldn't quite capture that same gameplay idea as there were issues we were running into on the programming side of things (my side :p) that unfortunately caused us to scrap the night conditions aspect of the game. Regardless we made a cute cozy puzzle game where we are fitting a bunch of cats onto a bed and it was super fun! A nice refreshing break from this project to help us refocus and work hard for this upcoming production phase.
