Did you work in a team?
This was a fantastic team building experience for our studio! Participating in Game Jams helps your team learn to communicate in more efficient ways while also learning how to avoid feature creep and sunk cost fallacies.

Was the resolution a challenge?
When dealing with this type of resolution, Text is always an issue. We overcame a majority of the issues by utilizing specialty fonts, but there's always some kind of problem that will slip through. Another major issue was keeping the visual noise to a minimum so we can show a far more complex scene without suffering from a loss in visual fidelity. We found that using flat and vertex shaders opposed to Textures helped keep noise to a minimum

What did you learn?
We entered this jam with the intention of creating an immersive horror walking simulator that could be converted into a full-fledged product.
This was a genre we have not developed for before, so it was a very interesting experience. We found that a typical walking simulator can be even more immersive if you strive to have everything intractable as you do in an immersive sim. We will definitely be taking what we learned during this jam to turn "Loveland" into a full Steam release.
