Dreamhackathon Weekend!

This weekend was quite hectic. I participated in a 24 hour game jam at Dreamhack Stockholm and had a blast! I met people from great companies and really interesting random developers. We did not win any prizes but i gained a lot of experience. The theme was “materials re imagined”. We ended up with a vs, side view, racing game.

You played as two very fat and bouncing chameleons competing against one another. The goal was to change between 3 materials, the same materials as the platforms consisted of, in order to be able to bounce on them and win the race at the top of the level.

As usual business i created the art and i wanted to show you some of it!

The images represents some of the platforms and the background for the game. The chameleon was not the final version since we were two persons producing graphics. I thought the final version had a bit to many details,  that made the character a bit of a mess when zoomed out in game. It is important to think about what size the character will be in game when it comes to details. It is not worth spending hours on something that will not be visible during play, or worse, even make it look more messy. We did not win any prizes but we are happy to have been a part of the experience and cant wait to do something like this again. Until next time! /Nayomi
