Firstly, I'm glad I made you say 'oh F#*k off!' a few times - forget the whole Jam thing,  that was my overall goal really :)

Thanks very much for the feedback! Yeah, it was a pretty intense 5-day, I've taken time-lapse videos of the whole process in the devlog section if you want to see how it was made - Dark Panic! 5-Day Halloween Game Jam Dev Log - Dark Panic! by IanLindsey (itch.io)

It's my 2nd Jam, so I see how time is a massive factor - therefore it made sense to make one main bit, then have a selection of 'dark' mini-games to add to it, that way they can be added or removed given the time... Actually I had 5 in mind originally, but I'd rather have 2 polished playable balanced ones than 5 unplayable ones - they do change depending on the level of difficulty too, so they needed extra play testing time to balance all that...

Actually, I might add the other 3 one day :)

As for the lighting & materials, you're in luck! I've already made a kinda tutorial/dev log about my process - it's on something called YouTube:

As for the standing thing - you're absolutely right of course, and it was something that became apparent near the end of the Jam.

I originally planned to make a seated experience, so I started out doing that, put the code in, modelled the environment yadda, yadda - but then as it became more playable, it was clear that it also worked as a standing game too. However, by that point I'd modelled the environment too short and there wasn't enough time to go back and adjust everything, so in the end I opted for that height adjust option - which kinda still works, but ultimately given another day or so I would have just made the environment taller to fit and made it cater for both.

Thanks for playing & glad to be part of the Jam!
