Screenshots from a unfinished game submission for Vinesauce ShroomJam.
The theme was "corruptions" and ran for a week.
I started working on my submission day 1 of the jam but pivoted mid week when I wasn't confident I could execute idea.
It was way too ambitious even for the fidelity I was targeting for a game made in a week.
So I tried to take the idea and themes and meld it into something smaller that hit the same themes.
I also really wanted the game to stand on it's own so that it could be understood by someone who doesn't watch Vinesauce but still had some references.
I didn't expect to have so much trouble with the game jam theme.
I came up with a lot of ideas trying to find one I thought I could execute in a week that satisfied the theme and would be entertaining.
If I could go back to the start of the jam with the idea I settled on I think I could have finished it.
Could recycle what I have into something original at a later time but no motivation atm gotta focus elsewhere.
