A downloadable Jam Game for Windows, macOS, and Linux


You are not the main character, but you have a LOT of problems. Run, Jump, and evade your way through the Forge of the Literary annihilation to get your hands on the Magical MacGuffin rumored to lie at the heart of the forge.


I'm getting closer and closer to producing a quality product with a large team at my back, but I'm not there yet.

Lessons Learned
Git has a habit of throwing away work, which is scaring the team off of it. I need to improve my system. Merge from Main and Intermediate Merge are the two ideas suggested to me.

Mocap is no longer financially prohibitive, but implementing it is a rather tricky beast. This is a learning goal.

Dictionaries are just arrays that use strings for indexes. Nested Dictionaries are Multidimensional arrays.

The Full Stack of Development encompasses the entire pipeline.
Low level is creation,
Mid-level is Integration, and
High-level is...I'm still not sure-data protection/agreement?
FrontEnd development is what the customer gets to see.
BackEnd development is what the customer doesn't see (like Git)

In my efforts to acquire proper Voice Acting, I've gotten some feedback on how to improve: Hardware is substandard, but I can use a t-shirt wrap to stop the problems I perceive. (Nothing to do with the project itself)

My File Structure requires a redesign. I had chosen to split game elements between assets, main, scenes, and scripts. In the future, I will likely have Devrooms+Main at the top level, to allow each dev to have their own space in the project.

Communication is very important in order to smooth out the integration process, but this has been tricky because most people prefer to be in their own space. It would be valuable in the future to establish more of a pipeline for communication,

By keeping these lessons in mind, I would expect us to persevere and become stronger as a team.
