How does your game represent "Power"?
Collect batteries to power on your UV light weapons to kill evil demons and other monsters! Bring the power generator safely to the rendezvous point so you can power on humanity’s last hope: artificial sunlight! The only way to grow food now, in the absence of natural sunlight. Beat the game to see the epic cutscene!

Thanks! I made the enemies. For the harder enemies, creepy was what I aimed for. Programmers also said to make the harder variations scarier and scarier.
The bat enemy that was cut due to time constraints (afaik) wasn't as scary.
But the ghoul enemy (also didn't make it) was painted by the other artist. I told him make it look like a gross zombie. But it was too gross, even for me! I guess you were spared from such a gross sight lol. But if we had time, we probably would have added him in!
yeah the atmosphere was probably a result of the other artist, the sound guy, and I think one of the programmers did special effects/fog/ night sky? I liked the starry night background.

Glad you liked it! Did you manage to see the cutscene at the end of the game? If so, what did you think of it?
really fun little objective based horror game, I haven't beat it yet, but it was fun enough for me to put in a few attempts, and I'm definitely going to come back to it later today or tomorrow and I'm determined to beat it!
edit: beat it! I may have not realized there was a sprint key
also thank you Trevor

Yeah I think the generator being destroyable was one of the original ideas the programmers had, but wasn't implemented due to time constraints. We also had plans for more enemies, and traps, too. And i had more cutscenes i didnt have time to animate. Tho maybe for the better cuz the writing wasnt polished for those. I guess that's how game jams be!
I did see it. I liked it, I think other people pointed it out but it was impressive that it was made within the time of the jam. As I'm not an animator myself I don't think I could give much feedback on the animation just cause I don't know animation techniques, but from an outsider's perspective, I thought it was good. I found the big hallucination guy funny because of how he taunted Trevor and how he was animated, dancing in the background. I did like the camera work. The shots you had looked nice and were well-composed. The story made sense and it was easy to follow. So for the story, the animation definitely accomplished that goal. Again, great job to yourself and everyone on the team!
YES! Someone liked my cutscene! Thanks!
Yeah I used rule of thirds and balance for the cutscene. Those are the two camera compositions tricks I recently learned that sounded the most important to me, and easiest to do.
I'm glad story was clear, without having to do a lot of explaining dialogue. I heard "show, don't tell" is a writing tip. Yes, the dancing ghost guy was funny. A teammate said it was dark that he was taunting Trevor, which is also true when you think about it.
And yeah, I'm far from mastering animation principles. I know of them, but would still need lots of practice. I did focus on facial expressions and did improve on body poses tho.
And yeah it was a team effort! I couldn't have made this game without the team and vice versa!
Thanks for your feedback and beating the game!
