Achievement Unlocked

I was cutting it pretty close, but I finished and submitted the game for the GameDevcemeber game jam with 8 hours to spare. This is a pretty great way to finish out 2021 and looking forward to starting 2022 with more game development! With the completion of Planet Recovery Force I now only have two games remaining in my 6 Games in 12 Months challenge. I look forward to working on those games in 2022, and then trying to work on a larger project at the end of this challenge.

Final Touches I Added

I spent the majority of today applying some final touches to Planet Recovery Force. A few of the additions/overhauls that I made are:

Play tested more than I ever have to ensure the difficulty was just challenging and fun.
Added a bunch of sound effects to really make the game feel more alive
Changed the game music to be more up beat and exciting to experience
Squashed a large number of bugs
Scattered the seed portal and bug portals around the planet instead of having them be on two separate sides. This evened out the game play a lot

Anything More?

I had mentioned earlier that I may want to add more to this game. After completing it, I don't really see myself spending more time on this game. This was a fun jam game, but I feel I have made better games. I would like to close this chapter of my game development journey and look forward to my next game.

Play the Game!

I hope you take the time to play the game I created! I would love your feedback and thoughts on how I did in this jam creation. I look forward to my next challenge. Feel free to drop any comments below on a type of game you think I should try and tackle next!
