Nice art and music. Definitely needs some exploration in the system design and this game could be something really fun and cool as some form of story driven game!

How does your game fit the theme?
To charge up your hero, and to paint more parts of the world, you have to craft paint bombs from the plants and animals of that world. The colors they give, will change their world - everything is linked, everything is JOINED TOGETHER.

A big thanks for taking your time to give us all this valueable feedback. Really appreciate your thoughts on how we can shape the experience. Thanks man!

yeah, the starting thought was that the player has been joined to the world and as he provides different colors to the world, his own colors fade away and he has to collect enough color to give it to the world, the crafting took most of my time as i had to implement an inventory system and hook it up to Ui, then there was a problem of implementing a hotbar system to switch between different bombs. Could have gone without the crafting system and worked on the end game goal.
Thanks for the feedback.
I will definitely try to complete it.

Thank you for your comment. The bombs will fly in the direction of your mouse cursor.

We all were working like crazy to get everything done in this short span of time. Even though it was pretty exausting, the great feeling after our successful publish was more than rewarding.

I like to draw cute things :-)
Yeah, our game is still a bit rough here and there - so little time for so many ideas.. However, hope you enjoyed what we were able to do in this short time. And thanks for your feedback.
Regarding the art workflow (in very short): I started very traditional, with pens, brushes, watercolor and paper. After scanning the image, there came a tedious and repetitive step, where i had to clean up the scan from all these little dust particles and the scanned paper structure. From there it was all fun again - improving the colors, doing some small corrections here and there - and then the assets were good to go into the hands of Bom, our developer.
so lovely! Thank you for sharing! I saw the image of the tower in the discord at one point and was excited. I hoped it started on paper. I did the art digitally for mine and it was so much more difficult in many ways. I haven't done anything digital in over a decade and I didn't have a real pen or anything. No bite on a screen like you would get on paper so it was so much harder. Also I really appreciate the effect that comes from hand drawing and scanning in. So lovely! Thank you again for sharing <3
I gave you a follow on twitter btw (@genkisoda) it was nice to see more of your art and your process! Nice dev-log of sorts! Also I noticed you wrote 'zum see' on the sign post item and was wondering if you are in Germany/Austria? I know that the guy running this jam asked for information about what engine people used to build their games but I would also really love to see a nationality breakdown too!
Oh, you are really attentive. Yes, Germany it is. Thanks for the Twitter follow, will follow you back. And here is my latest contribution to our game - you might be interested in the very last part, maybe. https://humane-tiger.itch.io/colored-artbook

That's a really nice country you picked! I like going for a hike in Austrian Alps - hiking is the other passion I have. Regarding learning german, for the beginning just make sure you can say "Biergarten", "Servus!", "Schnitzel" and "Kaiserschmarrn" - the rest is coming step by step ;-)
