Actually the plan was to have an initial scene with Satan and Death where Satan asks Death to aid him in collecting souls. Death says he can’t play sides. Satan says he’ll sweeten the deal with a fruitcake, and Death says he’s in.
Great game, theme, and presentation. The controls are hard in depression, but I guess that is kinda the point. I think you nailed the theme too! Awesome job!
This was my first jam/game, so I learned quite a bit. I think the most positive thing I learned was getting more familiar with Unity as I went. Things were getting simpler to figure out as I progressed. For example getting characters to face the right direction as they moved took a long time (done earlier in dev), but adding audio to the different events ended up taking minutes (towards end). My goals before starting were:
Get proficient with tile maps - So so success. Still can’t get them to do exactly what I want with the rules.
Tile map collisions - mostly successful. Bullets still go through walls.
Figure out animation for sprites - success
Audio - much easier than expected. Might try spatial next time.
UI Elements - was the last thing I did. Will likely start there on future projects.
Yeah, this was my first try at anything and I think I spent a few hours just getting the character animations to switch to the direction they were facing. Making it stay in the last position is a good idea!
