Jammers#
June’s makers massive monthly game jam with the theme Connections.
- Matthew Mcleod (vai) - Code
- Rene (raptor/me…) - Art & code
- Dean Salavant (denz_thehuman) - Sound design, foley
- Ted (granularbiomes) - Sound design
The idea focused around identifing notes and chords, by jumping around a web as a cute spider trying to catch prey.
By the end of the jam we had implemented a parallaxing background, a playable, animated spider character that could run up and down the web, which had our 12 different musical scales running up the 12 web strings (our circle of fifths), and as the spider runs over them it plays each of the chords in the scale.
We didn’t get to complete the full game loop, but we did end up with a spider piano.
Techniques#
- Phantom cam
- Parallax layers (web, foreground, background)
- Character controller (Just a basic 8 direction controller)
- Animated spider and a mosquito sprite and prey paths
- Audio and sfx!
