The problem
The idea of this project was to accomplish the goal of making a fun game within a 72 hour time period with the prompt "Collection". However, due to the little time given and the large scope of our project, we needed to prioritize certain features while cutting others.
Architecture
Game created during Ludum Dare Game Jam 58 (72-hour cycle). Implemented player movement, combat, abilities, and enemy AI within the Unity Physics Engine.
What did not work
Making the game fun meant keeping certain features out, like more complex enemies or bosses. While we wanted to add those features, within the time constraints it would have been too difficult and unpolished to add those features while keeping the game fun.
Measured results
Finished in the top half of Ludum Dare 58, which drew 1,390 submitted entries against the theme "Collector".
