Hello, my name is Stéphane THILL behind the SteelHere name of my self-company. I am a 28 years old Software Engineer and new to itch.io and gamejams.
I have been developing games since I was a kid on different software (The Game Factory, RPG Maker, pure C++ games, games on Unity) and I am currently studying game design.
This jam was super cool but the theme (Intentional bugs) was not easy at all. However Jonas made a great video giving axes confirming my understanding on "we are not talking about insects".
I had different ideas :
- A simulation with insects IA creating an anthill. Indeed I think it would be cool but I wanted to try to make a game with bugs.
- A game where there is bug and you can correct them with right items/tools find on the way.
- Finally, I got the idea of a game looking like a well-known game including random bugs and you have to be attentive as you will have to send analyse to the developer on where there were bugs.
It was really cool as I did it all alone from scratch on 1 day and a half but the last day was stressing as I was not sure to finish it. Indeed, the end is botched but it is existing.
Thanks for sharing, if you need me to talk in your video for an interview, I am OK.
Thank you very much for the possibility to appear in your video.
