My work during the weekend

Phase 1

During the first phase, we simply discussed and debated on the concept, the heroes and skills and we put it on paper.

Phase 2

One of our intentions during this Game Jam was that I learned as much as I could about programming. We decided to start by coding the Character controller, the physical behavior, the local network…

Thanks to my amazing mate who has strong skills in programming, I was able to understand the whole code of the game and ask him questions about it.

Phase 3

After a long coding phase (especially learning phase on my side), we continued our work in duo and we dived together into the modelling stage.

I created the props of the supermarket, from the cans to the cornflakes boxes, the trolley for the heroes and the set of shelves.

Phase 4

For the final phase, we decided to split work. My mate finished the technical implementation of the characters, the skills etc.

As for me, I did the level design and the lighting of the supermarket, placed the shelves and props and structured the playground for a multiplayer local game.
