Brno Game Jam 2023 was the first game jam I participated in. I was scared as I had never done anything similar, but it turned out to be so much fun. Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is definitely worth it.
We created a roguelike co-op game for 2 players. You can see it here: https://broseten.itch.io/arcade-survivors
I was mainly in charge of the visuals and UI. I used 3D models from the asset store and edited some of them to our desired look and behavior (animations from Mixamo). This includes the player characters, enemies, and the room environment.
I created a very simple main menu and pause menu, experience bar, and health bars for both the enemies and players.
I added particle effect to the projectiles, with different colors and shapes depending on the type of the projectile.
In the end, I added some simple sounds to make the experience enjoyable.
I also worked on the enemy spawner and quick balancing of the different levels of the enemy.
