My thoughts about Pixel Game Jam 2024: What i did?, What could i do better?

Hello Everyone! Matissoss here! 

Welcome to my first official devlog. 

Today i would like to talk about my participation in Pixel Game Jam 2024 organized by SanForge Studio.

 I highly recomend to check games made by other jammers. Here is link for other submissions for this jam  and here is for mine.

Anyways, lets start my yourney through this game jam. So, the yourney began May 11 2024. 

Theme for this jam was Aqua

I had two other ideas to choose from, but i decided to choose this one. 

Thoughts somehow went like this: 

Aqua -> Color -> Changing Colors -> Player have to switch colors to beat level. 

This idea is also used in game called Hue, which i recommend to check out.

 But now, lets start progress from day 1 to end of jam. 

Day 1: i beginned making prototype. I also did music and sfx for game this day, mostly from older projects/music i didn't use. Its all i did for day 1. 

Day 2: i made doors and levers, keys and doors, implemented music and SFX in game and added color pallete to choose colors from. 

Day 3: Day 3 was rather unproductive. I didnt do much because of school. All i did was to make prototype level to show. 

Day 4: was more productive than last one. I made a level for players to play.

Day 5: i started to polish my game by upgrading: UI, Color Pallete. I also made new logo/banner for game. 

Day 6: i finally finished my game. This day i made level and fixed/polished small things.

 But, what could i do better? 

I think i planned game too small for this time. I just felt game i made could be more ambitious, but maybe i did right. 

For all readers, I wish you all Good Day and thanks for reading,

Matissoss
