Glad you liked the concept.  I think the world building/setting was bigger than it needed to be for a jam game and a lot had to be implied.

Yeah mixing the audio in 3d was tough.  Made me appreciate when games transition from in-person dialogue to over the radio and still stay audible.

I had planned to add subtitles but ran out of time and had to cut them.  I assume subtitles wouldn't disqualify the wildcard, but even if so, the accessibility is more important.  My hearing isn't too bad but I watch most  things with subtitles, to help absorb the concepts, so it wouldn't even just be for hearing difficulties.  I think if I do anything this dialog heavy again, subtitles will be higher on the priority list.

Thanks, yeah my original idea was to have 1-to-1 mouse control with the paddle position and I figured out that would get old real fast.  I was pretty happy with how the rowing animation turned out.

Thanks.  Yeah it was tricky but fun to learn the audio system with voice lines in 3d space.  Gives a greater appreciation for why sound design/production is a proper profession.
